For many people, pets are family, so it’s no surprise that some choose to keep a lasting tribute to them on their skin.

'Tattoodo' is dedicated to sharing creative tattoo designs from artists around the world, and while browsing the page, we came across a lovely collection inspired by cats and dogs. Some are incredibly detailed portraits, while others take a more creative approach, with pets peeking through the skin, appearing in Polaroid-style frames, or even becoming part of a paw print.

Take a look at some of the pet-inspired tattoos below. Which one would you be happy to carry with you forever?
