Thanks to a South Korean tattoo artist, we can now take our beloved pets everywhere we go. Sort of.
Even though tattoos are illegal in South Korea, a Seoul-based artist named Jiran is known for specializing in unique and fun pet tattoos. Instead of focusing on extreme detailing, Jiran recreates the pets in a fun way. Every single one of his cartoon-like tattoos is cheerful and brings out the pets' true spirit. You can find more of his tattoos on Instagram.

I guess I am known to be very critical when it comes to tattoos, even though I have to admit that some have quite artistic values. But these...you may like the style, but they utterly fail to capture the dogs' and cats' expression, personality, and mood. Some even seem to be ironic, turning the animal appearance up and down.
Besides: The text claims "Instead of focusing on extreme detailing, Jiran recreates the pets in a fun way". This is a contradiction to the fact that supposedly this "brings out the pets' true spirit", which is a rather arrogant claim. I do not know these pets' true spirits, but I guess most people who love to be around with pets will agree that the depiction hardly seems to capture their "true spirit". Sorry for being negative here, but I find animals too awesome to reduce them.
i do follow your criticism here. Although i prefer a tattoo in this style over a realistic one it only suits animals with a "fun" spirit.
Why are all the plants marijuana?
In Korean culture, the dead is buried with pot leaves. More like hemp, because there aren't buds or anything.
It basically means they are dead
Kitty weed!
Why do they have pot leaves???
