Hi, that's funny, I have the same idea, memorials to every dog I have lost. But I was thinking portraits. I am just afraid of them not getting it right, portraits have to be perfect. Not sure if a headshot/face only is what I want, or maybe a copy of a favorite full body shot. Are you looking for something small like a simple symbol, or an actual photo of Oso? Maybe one of his favourite things. Maybe you could post some pictures of your ideas and we can give feedback.

I have a portrait of my boy Tonka on my side. It's not a memorial picture because he's still around but wanted to do it before he's gone. Here's a picture.

I was thinking of doing something in memory of Ebony also. But I kinda wanted something "generic" so that I could add the names of other passed pets in the future. I saw one on FB that was gorgeous. I don't know whose pic this is, so I'm sorry I can't give credit where it is due...

Thank you all. That tattoo was done from a picture of Tonka at the beach about 3 years ago. I know it might be too big for most people but it's actually one of the smallest I have. My whole upper body is completely covered.

2 evocative moving tattoos, never thought I'd be tempted to go under the needle.
Amazing what can be created these days. Photographic replication!
"He gets under my skin."
Will watch this thread with interest and any graphics.
Wonder how many artists are commissioned for tattoos.

Since we live in a military area there are lots and lots of shops. I have a very small butterfly designed by DH. Had it done almost 40 years ago now but not visible to general public.

Maybe put the dogs name with date of birth and death. I do like the wings?

I had seen a woman in a wawa, she had 4 paws tattooed on the back of her leg, not to big but noticable (which I personally liked) I regret not asking about it and taking a closer look, but I think the 2 bigger ones were dogs and she had just names underneath and the 2 smaller I thought might have been cats.
Wonderful design...Erika did you design that?
