Russian Body Artist Gives His Hairless Cat Four Tattoos, And People Are Not OK With It
475Kviews
A Russian tattoo fanatic dosed his hairless Sphynx cat named Demon up with pain killers to tattoo a series of ‘gangster’ tattoos on him, and now animal rights activists are shaming him.
“Of course I feel pity for doing it to him. It’s not like he wanted to do it himself. He has a different skin, so tattoos are applied differently,” Aleksandr said. “I hope it is not too bad for him, it is not his first tattoo. Usually, he feels fine and recovers from the anesthesia pretty fast.” The tattoos feature a prison tower, playing cards and a cigarette – all things that are typically worn by criminals in Russia.
Not only are many people shaming the body artist for tattooing his cat, but so is Elizabeth Skorynin – the head of an animal rehabilitation center. She said that Sphynx’ have very sensitive skin and any little injuries cause them pain and discomfort. Not to mention, that anesthesia is bad for Sphynx’ and the survival rate is 50%, which makes this whole case a question of abuse. However, Aleksandr Purtov, a local tattooist, defended the whole cat tattooing case saying that it was normal many years ago for farmers to tattoo their animals, therefore there is no reason for it to be unethical now.
A Rusian tattoo fanatic named Aleksandr decided to give his Sphynx cat, Demon, a series of tattoos
So he dosed Demon up with pain killers and got to work
“Of course I feel pity for doing it to him. It’s not like he wanted to do it himself. He has a different skin, so tattoos are applied differently,” Aleksandr said

People are absolutely outraged by this whole case and expressing their thoughts on Facebook
However, there are some comments defending the case

This is sickening. It's nothing short of animal cruelty. Animals are living, breathing creatures, not 'things'. Every time this asshat did this, he could have killed the cat. And as someone said, sphinx cats have really sensitive skin. Those tattoos probably cause it a great deal of pain. The poor cat should be taken away from this clown, and he shouldn't be allowed to own animals again.
Won´t happen :-( first of all this person decided to buy a cat without hair - whats wrong already, then with plain cat skin in front of her she had the idea to do something with it and she found a guy who did it. There are 3 people who should not live on this planet : 1: the breeder 2: the buyer 3: the "artist"
that is a sphynx cat, The Sphynx is a breed of cat developed through selective breeding starting in the 1960s, known for its lack of coat, though it's not truly hairless. The skin should have the texture of chamois, as it has fine hairs, and they cost a lot of money. So the breeder shouldn't be punished at all. The buyer and the artist should. The reason the breeder shouldn't be punished is because they most likely wouldn't of known this to have happened. they could feel the same way you feel about this being animal abuse.
Sphynx are hairless due to a naturally occurring genetic mutation, meaning they are naturally hairless. They are sometimes crossbred but only to produce stronger lines and a healthier purebred cat.
They shouldn't live just cus you said so? I'm not defending an artist, but I have cat that I bought. And I gave my cat all the love that I could. We have Cornish rex cus it's the nicest cats on earth. And we wanted cat with such character. I love her with all my heart and I know that she love me too. So if someone say that she shouldn't exist cus she is purebread I think it's juts istn't fair. I help in animal shelter and I'm a buyer. Sorry, but for me as long as someone take care of his pets he can buy it. I don't care.
Totally agree with you. Breeds are in business to make money and to show off their animals dog/cat, or what ever, to win prizes in shows.
We kill, eat and wear those living, breathing creatures by millions every single day. We love dogs, eat pigs, and wear cows. Yep, we have such cognitive dissonance regarding our beliefs about animals. I think for many of us here, it's a relatively easy thing to go through life in such a fog since most of us never see the suffering that animals endure who are raised for food, clothing or subjected to experiments. And now some people after this incident wish also to inflict pain or even to kill that human. So funny, really funny. That people by seeing a cruelty to a cat, became enraged that much and want to kill another human. And by proclaiming so, they think they are more humanist. And by expressing themselves and their negative emotions, they feel good about themselves. Because, of course, they are on a side of a poor cat. Just let's kill that male. (not using the word 'man', since it has in some situations a strong positive traits in some cultures). The new crusade...
This is animal abuse. period...
But implementing a eugenics program to breed a new line of cats is less immoral? I'm not defending the artist, but I fail to see why a cat tattoo is less acceptable than forcing cats to interbreed so we can have cutesy animals.
You know one abuse doesn't excuse another, right?
We're not talking about interbreeding we're talking about tattooing. He must have overdosed it on painkillers to the point of unconsciousness to have kept it still for the hours needed to complete just one tattoo. Having a tattoo is excruciatingly painful and there is no way a cat would tolerate it for seconds let alone hours. Then there's the aftercare still painful and keeping it clean and dressed you'd have a fight on your hands. Barbaric cruelty! Disagree with interbreeding also but to make a comparison is a bit ridiculous.
Sphynx cats are derived from a naturally occurring mutation. They aren't man made at all. If inbreeding is happening, it's only by shitty back yard breeders.
You DO know that hairless cats are a natural mutation, right?
Yep! Let the wild things be as intended. Wild!
Think about it, if humans want to be tatooted that's their choice. The Animal is summited to stress and pain just for the glory of some bastard to show off. This totally inaccessable, it is just plain maltreatement.
This does not make it alright, just because it is wrong to breed such animals.

What? We don't breed cats for cute.
Okay, this guy should not own ANY animals. If you've never had a tattoo, let me tell you first hand, it f*cking HURTS! Not just the process of getting it, but AFTER, you are sore, you scab, you have to constantly apply a special lotion, more soreness, the scab peels. Its not a quick healing process. This sweet innocent cat may have been "asleep" when the tattoo was put on, but bet your ass the cat felt it when he woke up. This is nothing short of abuse. Would you do this to a baby? NO, so don't do it to animals!
Would you kill a human baby? No, so stop eating those juicy stakes, and wearing those shiny business shoes.
@jevais the stake - a post to which a person was tied in former times before being killed by burning
JamesRTK please explain what ARE STAKES????
*steaks*

Mine didn't... I just kept them coated in bepanthem cream and I didn't scab one little bit. Maybe I'm special....
How can you apply a cream to a cat. They wash themselves constantly. Would have to wear the cone, but even then you would have to take very attentive care of it.

I prefer cocoa butter. Other than that, no scabs, no peeling. We're both special!

You only scab if you don't look after it. Just like any cut
Not true at all Amanda! All tattoos scab over, that's part of the healing process!

Marnie Dickson doesn't know shit
Assholes will aways be assholes. For what? "Likes" in FAKEbook? Please...MY ASS!!!
This poor creature.
Exactly. I agree with you. Meanwhile I need to finish my hamburger. Talk to you after that.
"It was normal many years ago [...] therefore there is no reason for it to be unethical now." It was normal many years ago that people were quartered and that you would burn "witches". Mankind advances...but for some stupid, incredibly selfish people.
Exactly! That's also like saying, "well slavery was normal back in the day so it shouldn't be a big deal now." Fucking disgusting!
Geez! Comparing a tattooed cat to slavery.. totally not on the same scale
Also, animals that were tattooed were animals with hair and not such a fragile, sensitive skin - cows and horses... How can he compare a cow with hairs and thick skin to a hairless cat??!!
Actually, dogs and cats are still tattooed for identification, but under anesthesia and by a veterinarian
And they only did a small area, such as the ear. Not a gigantic area.
I agree with you. Of course, you no doubt could see that not everyone felt that it's normal to burn "witches". So your general usage of 'people' was just an unintentional mistake. You probably wanted to say 'some people' (I dare not to say 'many' because I don't know the numbers of how much of the population considered that practice normal). The mankind is advancing. And with it the stupidity.
I'm always looking for something new when it comes to them. This is really fucked up, what makes tattoos beautiful is consent.
Well, that's not what makes them beautiful, but it's what makes them not feel absolutely horrible to look at in retrospect.
This is horrible!!! Animals do have tattos, but it's their identification number usually, or marking if they are castrated... Doing something like this is just sick!
Police dogs, race horses, the occasional "show" animal (of various types) are tattooed. Castration is easy enough to see in most animals.

are you retarded? It's okay to give an animal a tattoo if it lives its life in a prison, but not okay to tattoo a free range pet? get your ethics in order and your head out of your ass.
Kay De doesn't understand what "pets" are.
You don't just drug your friend, take him to a tattoo shop and get him a tattoo he never asked for. For the same reazon, never do it to an animal. NEVER.
Reason*
He tried a different procedure? Really? I highly doubt that. He drugged the cat to have this be "okay." This guy probably gave himself tattooed balls because he for sure doesn't have real ones.
Lol nice one.
Really curious to know, what these people are thinking when giving tattoos to animals. Stop taking cheap drugs and stop abusing animals.
I'd love to tattoo he's f**king eyeballs!
Why is this on boredpanda?
To show we can hate one thing all together!
Good to see so many vegans here!
Frankly I'm not sure why this post is being presented in a neutral tone. Is this not something that's clearly reprehensible?
This is animal abuse. The artists should be arrested. And not to mention disgusting nature of the tattoos.
It's disgusting imagine being drugged by someone you trust and waking up in so much pain from the tattoos trying to clean yourself but your skin is so sensitive and all you have is a very rough material as a sponge! Poor baby he has gone against the animal rights and welfare act as well as the five basic animal freedoms, this is a crime ...
Don't post this abuse on BP anymore or any website for that matter. No sane person wants to see this! Only soulless thugs would do this!
How else are we suppose to know what to fix in the world if we don't know what to fix..?? KEEP POSTING
It is sadly also giving the creep the attention he so badly craves. There is the saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity!?!?
Such people should not have pets, it's sick!
Poor cat :,(
Why? Just why?
Selfishness.
And stupidity.
Yeah, maybe.
The guy's a degenerate sicko. And I have to say, it says a lot about his surroundings that he is able to torture his cat again and again.
This is disgusting. Anyone who defends this is also disgusting. Tattooing a defenseless animal, which breed already has sensitive skin, is evil. Tattooing a bunch of cattle is different. 1. usually it was for ID. 2. cows have thick skin. Why anyone would do this repulsive thing to something so innocent disgusts me.
This guy makes the people who dress up their pets in outfits look normal.
There are not enough curses in all the languages combined for this evil fuck.
I love tattoos. I love cats. Tattooed cats? God humans are fucking dumb
1-do whatever you want with your own body. make your shitty tattoos on yourself or other human beings who have the consent. its not ok. 2-the farmers didnt tattoo their animals ganster tattoos for nothing. they did it for a purpose. they branded them. (not that its ok too)
stupid... i mean, this guy is really a dickhead...i will torture him for this
you fucking Russian pervert, everything you do is perverted, together with the pedal in the Kremlin, and you get yourself huja forehead tattoo and do not run the risk of animals, and the more that safinksy survive only 50% of anesthesia and have very sensitive skin. But you probably head his own mother would sell to earn money. Want you so was dying in agony. 384778_525...114280.jpg
What a complete asshole! He has no right to do that to an animal. It is essentially abuse, to satisfy himself, not his cat. As an animal lover, I try to give my pets the love & life they deserve, and getting them f**king tattooed would be the last thing on my mind. This idiot is a selfish prick and should be prosecuted for it.
This is animal abuse, the artist should be arrested. Not to mention the nature of the disgusting tattoos.
I always felt there is something wrong with people who like hairless cats. But this... there has to be a name for this in psychiatric manuals.
I have three sphynx cats. They're the most loving creatures ever.
Please tell me this is a joke?!?!
Oh, I really wish it was a joke
Tattooed animals are marked for a purpose - usually for identification. It's done in one quick motion, so as to subject the animal to as little pain as possible. It's like a child's shot - you don't repeatedly stab the kid with the needle. What an awful person.
I'm more than sad, I'm actually angry. Our comments won't reach him, and even if it does it won't stop what happened to the poor cat.
Just because animals can't speak for themselves doesn't mean you can torture them like this. This is really sad.
To the idiot - Steve Henry- who says " I bet that cat is taken better care of than half of cat owners take care of themselves"...........ummmmmmmm...obviously NOT shit4brains!!!!
Also, animals aren't "tattooed". They are branded (which is also a practice I abhor) for identification. This "artist" needs to be jailed!
Wow, never seen an article with so many (well deserved) downvotes.
Not OK at all!
What idiot would suddenly think, "Oh I have a great idea, let me tattoo my cat! We need matching tattoos!" ????
It would be matching since the tattoos are generally for criminals
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
This is despicable. That poor animal. This is all about the stupid vicious owners own vanity. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. i hope someone from animal welfare sees this and takes that animal out of this deplorable situation. The owners are disgusting.
outrageous! the conscious in humanity is dead. I don't have any hope in humanity anymore!!!
So branding a cow or a horse or putting a tattoo in a dogs ear or in a horses mouth isnt inhumane and cruel. How would you all like it if someone put a brand on your hip or a tattoo in your mouth or ear, so americans are for all this but not putting a tattoo on a cat that has been put to sleep to do the procedure. Im not defending this person but Americans have double standards. Oh and lets not forget about all the animals that are being use for testing of medicine and the ones that are implanted with cancer cells or testing of makeup.
I also wonder how many people here eat meat...
Cat looks happy to me
You are no artist all for being cruel to an animal. You are nothing just a plain ass who doesnt care! You are both a disgrace to society "IDIOTS"
This is awful. The cat doesn't get anything from it, but still has to go through the pain. It's only losing. And a 50% survival rate? How could the owner do that if he liked the cat at all.
Why are they not receiving animal cruelty charges???
What the hell is wrong with this guy? That poor animal! I just do not understand the warped type of person who could torture this innocent cat to please himself. It's too bad he is allowed to own an animal at all. Would he tattoo a baby? I am sure that is next on his list as he seeks attention and tries to advance his career. Sickening!
Freaking disgusting!!!! Animal cruelty!!!
I'm so glad this post is getting downvoted! Arrest that a*hole!
People are mad about the cruelty aspect while all i can concentrate about is the 'Carpe Deem'. Seriously?
there aren't words for this bullcrap. He should be ashamed of himself.
This must be the most disliked article of the BP history :D
a cat can't give a consent. that's cruel.
How small is this guy d*** that needs to commit extreme brutality for reassurance?!
Animals are not accessories!
What An Asshole!
What a self-centered jerk.
sick, sick people
This is truly massively f**ked up and that person should never be allowed near any animals
Sick, sick people, hopefully they never have kids,
Pets are not toys and children are not social media fodder.
Fuck this guy! I say he gets the most painful tattoo imaginable over and over and over again, which will probably be on his micro penis.
dipshit...
You are all morons. Cat looks happy to me. They still brand horses, cut dogs tails and most of you probably eat meat. Get a life.
AND named the cat demon! These people are sick.
May I remind you that governments are falling apart, WW3 may start in a couple years,.....people are starving to death around the world, rain forest is being depleted, California is almost out of water..........But you have the energy to worry about 1 out of 5 billion cats that is healthy now but got in the past a tattoo????? OMG!!!!!!!
Russia, land of great thinkers, hackers, writers... and these fuckers.
Wow,that guy should be ashamed of himself.well,I think he is out of this world.
Fucking egocentric idiots !!!
I'm more than not okay with it.
Poor cats! It's awful.
That's what happens when the animal gets a braindead owner. I'm speechless concerning the level of stupidity of those people.
Disgusting what the hell?
To all who think it's not right: Congrats people! You start to understand the essence of veganism. :)
I want to know what has happened next. Has he been reported? Has he been arrested? Has anyone taken the cat off?
Sick bastard! The cat should be taken away from him, and he should be fined and prevented from ever owning another animal!
Oh my God, what the fuck! Why? Dont you have enough people who want tattoos?
edit: the time after getting any tattoo is painful, fine if humans choose this. NOT fine for a cat ; who did *not* choose this.
I'm sick of people doing things to animals, even if its not in a bad intention. I like tattoos, yeah, it looks cool. But a cat is neither a human who has decided to get a tattoo or a thing that couldnt get anything bad from it. I wonder if its okay for a cats skin. I know that tattoos can cause itching, also the painkiller, I think if it isnt necessary (for health) you should prevent your cat from it. (Moah, I've got the feeling my english isn't very well.. but i hope you can understand..)
Anaesthetic is always dangerous for anmilas and should be use only for SAVING their lives not feeding sick ambitions! Poor poor kitty :'( Sick bastard!
I don't care what you said, the cat is different then human. How do you know the color are good for cat? And their skin is very sensitive WTF!!!! Muthafucka look high as fuck, lowlife so called artists.They need their licenses taken away and shops closed down 4 life!!! He should charge for animal cruelty, but since he's from Russia, the government don't really give a shyt about animals. Poor baby!!
Wow there are some straight up f*ked up people in the world....
Also he is a disgrace to his profession....
But it's okay for people in America to crop their dogs' tails and ears... :/
Selfish fun for the owner of this cat who paid to get this done. Those are huge tattoos for such a small body; it covers more body surface then a adults. Are you dumb to not notice cats skin is thinner and more delicate. The cat is only a object to these people who think tattooing a cat is fine. It doesn't understand why it was put under to awake to be in immerse pain with its owner near. "F"! I'm tired of hearing that the world is populated by so many idiots. 😫😩😖
I consider this animal abuse and disrespectful. Imho, BP should not allow this kind of posts.
Oh it's really terrible! But even more terrible that here highlights the fact that this weird guy is from Russia. I hope you all know that assholes may be in different countries. Abuse of animals is unacceptable, this guy is sick and stupid. I'm just hurt to see how this post intensify hatred. I am disappointed that there are such bad people among the Russians.
Imagine if someone gave a baby a tattoo: did the baby consent? The baby does feels pain, right? Does the baby care? This is the same thing.
Funny how we brand our animals with hot irons. Where are all those complaints? My horse has branded numbers on it... I'm not in jail...
It was OK years ago so there is no reason for it to be bad now? Good logic, I mean holocaust happened so I guess it's ok if it happens now? Fuck. It is abuse. Tattoos hurt a lot, and the skin on that cat looks like it hurts even more. Recovery time from a tattoo is several weeks. Causing a cat pain is stupid and cruel and their defense was just idiotic.
Why cats? Why don't you give your baby a tattoo?
Doesn't it hurt the cat?
Of course it does.
reminds me of a dutch artist called Tinkerbell who did a purse-related thing to hers that I won't upset panda's with
The tatcat. Sad
To those idiots who pose false dualities, or propose random hypotheticals: stick to the FACTS. Tattooing a cat this way is needless is cruel, done solely to boost the ego of the owner. It's not some sort of tiny ID number to find a lost animal. Cats' systems are different than ours in many ways, not just the skin. And trusting, innocent cats have DIED of this - the ink alone can poison them, let alone the stress. I'm happy at least Kara Fight's sad tattoo'd cat one ran away from him. Run, kitty, run!! Find a new home!
I'm not by any means for animal cruelty! But, to me, this gives the cat character. Not here to debate. But, it is his cat. He sedated it, and the cause was not to inflict pain. Just a thought.
This is animal cruelty and by law anyone can report that idiotic act
This is animal cruelty and by law anyone can report this idiotic act
This is sad. She mentioned this was a practice many many years ago. It probably stopped because they realized it was abuse and hurts the animal. Cats are very independent animals, and they don't let us know their hurting. My cat, he had bad ear issues, and he was hurting. But he acted like himself. He played, ran, ate like he always did, even snuggling with me. If I didn't take him to the vet for his normal check up, I wouldn't of known about his ears. So because your cat went back to her normal routine, doesn't mean she doesn't feel it. It's just mean and cruel. You ruined the body of a majestic cat. Their bodies are so sensitive to everything as it is. They don't have the coat to protect their body, so it doesn't have the natural oils. Gotta give them baths and lotions, than on top of that. You had to give this poor cat a tattoo? That's just sickening, and it looks terrible. Couldn't you of just given a tiny tattoo if you are sick enough to give one? Poor cat. :/
Did Demon give his permission? Asshole.
oh my goodness this in animal abuse, how are they not jail?!
As an animal lover and a tattooed woman I can say from personal experance that tattoos stay sore for a week. An animal also can't look after a tattoo properly and would be more likely to get an infection. This is nothing more than out and out animal cruelty!
Ok but branding a cow and neutering a male calf and cutting off its horns without any pain meds is totally acceptable. Yeah. Right 👌
It's a stupid tattoo anyway.
Why would you put a cat through that? It can not consent, nor does it understand the pain! This cat should be taken and given to someone who will love it and take care of it, not turn it into an art show for their own fame.
Yeah, how about that? Humans can and are sometimes the worst things God ever put on earth. He should have rested 2 days instead of 1. Horrified to see such maltreatment to a poor helpless cat. Scumbags are such "humans". Are there no laws in Russia ton protect all animals from abuse?? I saw on TV that dogs are dyed in the States and elsewhere. If you wish to dye your animal or have them tattooed you should think twice before inflicting useless pain and stress. People who do such awful, stupid and stressful things to living beings are just showoffs and egocentric. They should grow up and be responsible pet owners. Animals are not gadgets.
Well if its not dangerous in aspects of healt of the animal, opposing it makes no sense since you are feeding them in your home without asking them. What I am trying to say is everything you do with pets is against their free will. Castration, vaccination and such... they're not things for sure but they're not humans. Most of the breeds are suffering from this purebred thing. Some of them totally produced by humans. We already giving them shape as we wish. This one just includes more personal attribution.
Booooooooo you sta
This is so bad why the fuck would you do this this should be illegal
Fuck that cat...Wtf ppl get a life
You need to be arrested for Animal Abuse period.
This is NOT okay! I'm a huge animal lover, especially cats and this makes me want to cry! Why would anyone want to inflict pain on an innocent animal??? This was a disgusting and selfish act by him. The authorities should re-home any animal in his possession immediately! Shame on him! 😠
This is terrible !! Shame on him. He should not be allowed to have pets 😡 please post the article like that http://catsmeowlovers.com/soldier-refuses-to-leave-special-needs-kitten-behind-catsmeowlovers/
Hello. The original issue about tatoo cat from Russia is mine http://ngzt.ru/news/view/02-02-2017-uralec-zabil-svoego-kota-sfinksa-tatuirovkami-u-hozyaina-ih-bolshe-10-u-kota-poka-chetyre There is a mistake in this issue. However, Aleksandr Purtov, a local tattooist, defended the whole cat tattooing case saying that it was normal many years ago for farmers to tattoo their animals, therefore there is no reason for it to be unethical now. These words belong to the another tatoo master Alexander Purtov, he is not the master of the cat.
Yeah.... I love tattoos and I love cats... but I don't think this should be done to an animal.
Hope these cruel bastards arms break!!
This is disgusting!!!! Cats are innocent and should not be treated this way with tattoo - what are you guys thinking?? This is cruel thing to do.
No person that truly cares about animals, would be against this. It's insane, there's no reason except self ego inflation
Two points: First-maybe it is normal to mark livestock in the old days but I think it wasn't anything as elaborate or time consuming and painful as this job. 2nd-don't hairless cats have extremely sensitive skin? I have a tattoo and the process felt like burning and cutting. I can't even imagine what it felt like to this poor cat.
That joker would probably get lynched here.
What kind of a sadistic person would subject his pet to this cruelty? It is not alright in any sense. Stop abusing this poor animal. What you are doing isn't cute...it is evil.
Nothing beter to come up with ? This is really one of latest example to show how sick humans can be. It makes me to throw up !
what the actual fuck!? Hope the cat kills them while they are sleeping. And uses corpses as litterboxes.
Absolutely disgusting. What a complete heartless monster.
i remember the saying "an idle mind is the devil's playground" perhaps these cat owner's minds were idle for so long...
Tasteless Humans.
I am disgusted. Who would even think of doing that to an animal, its animal abuse
Brutal and savage for what she did.
That's awful!!!
poor kitty that is so sad
To all who thinks it's not right: it's good to see
This is in some way, animal cruelty!!!! She should be punished by the law. She's setting a wrong example for many people.
That is so cruel :(
This is so mean to the cat! Now one should do this to a animal!
That's soo mean
Totally wrong! She should not be allowed to own an animal and the savage beast of the tattoo artist should have his license revoked for life.
Animal abuse! What the hell is wrong with people these days!?!? Shocking!
Fuckin idiot take the animals away
These tatoos aren't even pretty. What a dumbass...
I have five Sphynx cats. I can tell you from experience how sensitive their skin is. This poor cat didn't ask for a fucking tattoo. I have around 50 tattoos but no one forced me into it. That's what the Nazis did to the Jewish people!
This seems wrong to me.
So? Do you know how much those tattoos are worth? I'm a human, and I can't even afford them! This cat is probably the most looked-after animal in all of Russia. And besides, I give this a week before everyone loses interest and moves on to the next so-called injustice. Focus on what matters!
i mean if you're going to tattoo your cat make it a good one
I totally disagree, I consider it cruel and not natural. Personally I have tattoos and they were painful but they were my choice!
This is animal neglect, you cannot do that to a cat or any animal at that. I'm a huuuuge tattoo fan, but this is out and out CRUELTY! These people should be put in jail, they need to learn a lesson. This makes me so sick.
I am now agreed I think is cruel
This is not right. Giving an animal pain killers without a medical need is just wrong and dangerous. I have a feeling that this is just a poorly thought out decision and that the cat is otherwise generally well taken care of, but please don't subject him to this again.
Stop harming animals for your own satisfaction. What a cruel, selfish person :(
Not cool, its animal abuse, and for what her own personal vanity, its not a pet to her its just an accessory to her own vanity
You can compare it to do a tattoo newborn, you can not say "no." And it is vulnerable ... A true apocalypse is coming ... people do not see the border ... they don't accept the limits ... RESPECT THE NATURE ... respect other creature's life
WTF ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disgusting. Animals can't consent to tattoos. This isn't art. This is torture.
This is so selfish. What's next? Your toddler?
What a sicko. How stupid do u have to be to think tattooing your cat is a good idea !
Honestly although I think this was cruel and should not have been done, the owners should just FREAKING not do it again. Poor kitties
Animal cruelty in it's truest form. An animal can not consent to having this done. There fore it is considered torture in my opinion.
Deplorable! Do not defend this guy! That tattoo is giant for the size of that poor kitty! Me Hell Cat Kuro will hunt this guy down!
What an asshole.
I'm sad. It's stupid that the guy even posted pictures about this. He knew ppl were going to be against him but people will be ppl.
Did the animal open its mouth and say I want a tattoo? Almost as bad as tattooing a baby. Such a defenseless creature. I just wish he plucked the eyes out of that very foolish person
Are they in jail yet? I accidentally stood on my cats tail this morning and just about cried.. how could she purposefully do this to him???
Another example contributing to my loss of faith in humanity...
WTF so very wrong
Anybody who is ok with this should never own an animal !!! It's disgusting he should be charged with animal cruelty.
animals cuplty !!!!! that going to far and painful for that cat ,...
Yurk! This tattoo sucks
This has got to be a piss take....
OMG thats so cruel. Why would you drug a defensless animal and physically abuse it in that way? You should be banned from keeping animals.
Hopefully someday we will stop using animals for our own entertainment. Most racehorse are required to have lip tattoos for identification purposes, they are only commodities. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Gandhi
What the hell for?? This is mind boggling
Oh my god!!!! Who does that!!!! He needs to go to jail!!!
just type in tattoo on pigs and you'll find a lot of shit happening to pigs, they say that they have a good life but how good can a life be where you wake up with a feeling of a horrendous sunburn every now and then..
He misspelled "Carpe Diem"... If you tattoo someone, or something, make sure you do it well
Idiot
I guess that owner would(or soon Will) be familiar with what criminals do. What a scoundrel, hurting that poor cat
Ok, I like body art usually, but on an unconsenting animal this is plain despicable.
Would it not be the same as branding an animal. What the hell is wrong with these people. Disgusting. Would you tattoo a baby against their will too?
This is NOT okay, man!!!!! Would you tat an infant? Wait, I am at my limit of your cruelty!
Sickening!
This makes me nauseous and disgusted thinking that someone would think the is okay.
?? i just don't understand what possessed him to do it. did he suddenly look down at his cat and say yeah i think he needs a tattoo like its a normal or logical thing to do i mean seriously what the f**k that poor cat this is madness!!!!!
BP, you're posting screenshots of Facebook comments, but why can't you also link the article to those comments?? I'd like to join the conversation too. No idea how to locate those comments or the page. Frustrating.
Are you kidding me??? THAT'S F****** ANIMAL ABUSE!!!
Fucking brain dead idiot
Fucking brain dead idiot 😠😠
poor kitty...
These people who do this to animals are idiots. It's fine to yourself but not to something that doesn't have the ability to understand.
this is so wrong in so many levels, not to mention the design is ugly.
Never mind the design. The idea is just so WRONG that I'm speechless and disgusted.
That's horrible... He is supposed to sit in the jail!
lol, how ironic is the love to animals.
Even a person cruel like me can't do it。People did tattoo cuz they already has preparation enough to decide，But cat can't。If you're really wanna express your artistic thoughts on a cat，You can originally make those tattoos into virtual image，And PS your best。 And BTW Maybe catwife don't like wildboy
I hope he will be charged for such cruelty and the cat will be taken away for a better home. Retards always find new ways to do stupid stuff... Poor baby..
Animal cruelty at its finest. These people don't deserve anything good in their life. I hope the poor cat gets to live with a better family soon (if s/he doesn't already)
Not trying to defend him, however, all the people that are saying it's cruelty. How many of you have had your cat declawed or spay/ neutered. I'm pretty sure that's painful to the animal too and not natural.
I understand your point and I don't disagree that both of those procedures can be viewed as a form of cruelty themselves, but while I can't speak for declawing (personally, I find that just as objectionable), spaying and neutering do at least have a higher (positive) purpose, and some even argue they are actually beneficial for the animal in the long run (although I'm not a vet, so obviously I can't vouch for that). This cruelty, however, is simply disturbingly pointless.
you can't justify cruelty with cruelty
Did you miss the part where I said I'm not defending him, or did you just jump to a conclusion?
He wasn't justifying it, he was pointing out hypocrisy, and he wasn't entirely wrong.
i can that cat's pain and sadness
Well, tattoos on animals. What is next? =(
No, simply NO.
Lost for words , I think Bunzilla has wrote is 100% right
they should have tattooed fur on to the poor thing
I'm not going to waste my time going through a fit of rage describing my emotions right now, instead i will say one thing and leave, NO
I dont see the big deal. I think its cute. No body goes bat shit crazy screaming animal abuse when a farmer burns his cows and horses with a red hot brand. No body screams animal abuse when people tat show dogs. Yes show dogs are tatted. So are rabbits. The tats look good so obviously the cat felt no pain nor did he get scared. Doesn't appear to be scarred so the artist did a good job. No infection so obviously it was properly cared for afterwards. Nope cant see the abuse here. People just want shit to bitch about that is none of their buisness as usual.
These people are monsters. Just one minute in a room with them. One minute and no witnesses. Bad karma coming their way.
Gives the cat a style but it's a bit wrong
This post should be removed! Aren't there rules against posting animal cruelty???
THOSE CATS NEED TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THOSE SICK PIECES OF SHIT!!! I WANT TO TAKE A BASEBALL BAT TO THEIR HEADS!!
eh regardless of all you animal lovers, its still freaking badass!
Does the cat live a happy life? That is the only question I would ask. Pet owners are seen all over the world changing parts of their pets to suit the owner life. For example, declawing cats are far more painful to the animal. The cat is not awake and is happy then I see no problem. I understand where people are coming from that this is animal abuse, but all that really matter is that the cat is happy and that the owner loves it.
There is nothing wrong with this :/ if you have a problem with this then you shouldn't neuter your pets, cut off their tails, declaw them or even tag them.
I think he is cute the cat
Meh, cat seems cool with it
As long as he is using the right tools/instruments that won't hurt the cat (or any other animal) in any way it's fine.
Plus, he said so himself that he was very cautious and felt guilty about the whole thing. So I think we should just let him be.
It's HIS cat!!! He did it sanely! There are people who pierce their children's ears at a couple years old but nobody CARES. I'm Pro tattoo!
Holy crap 200+ comments. Good to see people speaking up.
1 - is this fake ? ,,,2 - anasthetics are *dangerous* ,even with humans the dr will say aprox, there is a risk with this. ( in Australia it is a legal requirment ) what they mean is some ppl die from the anasthetic. ( not the operation ) ... 3- this "breed" of cat comes from a rare mutation , then the cats are very very inbred ( which frequently causes other health problems ) ..... 4 - fur protects cats from fighting/ playing injuries. Just lieing down on minimaly sharp things. Fur helps cats regulate their body temperature. ....... so in short i am skeptical about this entire article, / do not agree with keeping this mutation going and calling it a "breed ".
But it's TOTALLY cool to tattoo inside their bellies/hips/thighs/ears for Kennel Clubs and Breeding. Don't start that 'It's just a little tattoo' or 'That's for identification purposes' it's basically the same deal. It's for the pride of the human. IT's not cool either way.
The people who have a problem with this are a bunch of babies like boohoo. He even says he puts his cat under Asthetic which peoples the cat doesn't feel a thing so stop crying.
probably this is animal abuse or so but it looks so domn cool,probably the most cool animal abuse i ever saw.dont judge my way of thinking pls :)
saw an animal getting abuse Gets mad. but enjoys eating animals xD
That's different: the edible animal was bred specifically for the purpose of being eaten.
people bitch about the dumbest shit.. the cat is fine.. I love animals. and literally wouldn't hurt a fly. but animals are a lot more tolerant with pain that humans are.. remove a cats or dogs leg one day and 2 days later he is already walking on the 3 he has left. people bitch about everything. seriously. get over it. it's not like he is beating his cat. this cats probably happier than all you idiots combined. and when he looks in his kitty mirror at his wonderful tattoos he probably thinks to him self" aww yea! gonna get so much pussy cat tonight!"
First thing, it's a Russian artist. However, I would never do this to my pet. To tattoo an animal to this extent is cruel, given they aren't able to regulate their pain like we are when we get a tattoo. Agreed this poor thing should not have had to endure this kind of experience. On the other hand, most of us put our animals through small portions of torture when we have them tattooed/ micro chipped in case something were to happen to them...
Wtf , one thing is for sure BORED PANDA is cooperating with this abuse !!! I am done with you f.... app ,hope someone sue you !!!
I think you are all fucking ignorant motherfuckers in here. Kids , women, young men killed every day in Syria and Donbass and you cunts crying about cat. fuck you all
We cant call this as an animal abuse we dont even know if the cat is satisfieda bout it or not
Saw an animal abusing photos gets mad But enjoy eating animals wow.
You all know that in order to critisize you should all be vegans or else you're hypocrites, right?
Or vegetarians... I guess milking a cow hurts less than putting needles in a cat... Agree though

I don't agree with this BUT at least the cat was drugged so it wouldn't of felt any pain, but I don't believe that a cat will ever want a tattoo
The cat was in a shit load of pain for at least a week after.
At least a week of pain, if not more. Plus cats don't know how to properly take care of a tattoo. (of course) They don't know not to lick or scratch at it. This is just awful, I feel so bad for kitty.
