Hey Dad I thought you said you had my paws fixed now and that they were both the same size?
Perhaps this person has two dogs, meaning this could be two different paw prints?

There Mama by my touch I love you. And can't you tell by my face too?
I wonder if this person's dog was a complete clod and stepped on their foot all the time.
This Fur Baby reminds me of my Fur Baby Scrappy Doo. Looks like his twin. Really miss him.
Not sure what the red is for? Looks like blood. But the rest is great.
I really like this one, it doesn't look too cluttered and yet you can tell it matches the dog's actual paw.
There will always be a print of my dogs paw in my heart, so no need for a tattoo on my skin.
Lena, that is so well stated. And adding the original set of paw prints to Charlie's photo album will always be there for me to remember him. :D

I think when the time comes, this will the purrrfect way to honor her, by getting it on my side, as she was by my side in real life since child hood.
I have my 13 year old cat's paw prints on my back and it's the cutest tattoo. Of course now I need to add my other cat and dog
Load More Replies...I think that's beautiful. In fact it may have just inspired me to get my first tattoo!
Same here... never cared for tattoos. But this one had a meaning to me. I have a big 160lbs newfoundland dog with bear paws, and i know he wont be with me forever. His massive paw tattoo would be a solid reminder of the big imprint he did in my life.

Here's mine for my baby girl who passed away in April. 18953011_1...a18262.jpg
A friend of mine had one of her deceased dogs paw prints tattooed on her. On her side where the dog always jumped up. The tattoo had some of her dog's ashes mixed with the ink <3
This is a portrait of my Jake-and I have a set of his feet and my feet together as if in walking -tatted on my rt calf-the portrait is on my left calf-and on my left arm is his silhouette with 2 small paw prints-and yes he is still with me=14 yrs old this oct 1st IMG_0691-5...4a6ec6.jpg
I got this done just after my boy died <3 His pawprint, birthday, and the day he was put down. paw-59c9e1...4937dc.jpg
When I lost my pit bull to bloat, I had them do an impression an his prints on paper so I could have them tattooed.
Cool. Had my Bernie 17 years, have his paw print with his face in it on my wrist. My first and only tattoo. 12654296_1...b550d6.jpg
Does anyone know the best thing to use to trace a dog print ? I've wanted my dogs paw on me since I've got her, she's my best friend and I've tried many different ways and none have work.
I just used an inkpad to stamp my dog's print onto and index card, and took that in. I did it about 10 times over a few days, and used the one I liked best.
Load More Replies...I have our 16 year old Yorkie's face on my ankle. My husband has her mom who passed at 15 on his upper arm and my son has our Yorkie Scruffy who passed 5 years ago on his inner arm. I would love another of our 4 year old Yorkie named Seven.
WOW pawsome, but I´m a total coward when it comes to tattoos, never got one and never will, my friend Sandra has a tattoo of her angel Maine C**n boy Bear (tux boy) on her shoulder, as memorial, she once told me it took about two hours to get it, and many days until the tattoo wound healed, if I wasn´t such a coward I´d love to get a tattoo of Gizzy, Thori and Sisi, da second hand kittehz´ cute lil heads on my shoulder/back!!! 😲😲😲💖💖💖
Very nice. Another idea is to do a paw-print of your dog or cat in a block of wet cement - like in the Hollywood Walk of Fame and put it in your garden.
myself and my daughter have matching tattoos of our beloved boy :) jay-tattoo...c4f6fd.jpg
I have my jack Russells foot prints across my heart, my artist told me to use lipstick to get his prints, it was a mess, but very fun, my mom helped me and we laughed all day!
The first photo uses finger paints--just the kind that children use. It's non toxic & safe for dogs if they lick it from their paws
Load More Replies...Yeah I got my Luna's paw print tattoo on my foot, which to me symbolises Every step I take she takes it with me, even though she's gone. I actually scanned her paw in black and white then took the iPad with her original paw print to my tattoo guy and I love it.

The idea of a temporary pawprint tattoo is very sweet, but if you are a dog lover you will probly own more than one dog so brace yourself . When your doggy is no more and a new pup is in the house , things might get weird.
My late Morris' paws, in white ink. Very subtle, not very visible (ideal for work and more "formal" situations). I wanted it to be right there in your face, yet not super obvious. It represents Morris and all the animals I love, not just my own. paw-Morris...f9aa6a.jpg
This is my tatto of Puchi's paw, he passed away a couple months ago, sometimes it hurst so much i can barely breath, we supossed to travel the world together, but at least he's with me everytime i look at this. For the people who love their dogs and never get tattoed, this is a beatiful way to start. 10689933_1...c3bd88.jpg
This tattoo has given me comfort since our Jake passed away. He and I used to hold hands and his paw would be right where the tattoo is. Jakes-Paw-...c78003.jpg
Got my late boy Dakota tattooed on me 2 weeks ago. 20180114_1...a372a9.jpg
I am not into tattoos but but it is much better to get a paw print of your best friend who won't leave you until death actually do you part. I know some folks with tattoos of many ex's and they found that was a mistake. So if you have the need to get one.....a beloved pet is the best option in my opinion.
Maybe my 3 senior cats´ pawprints, but please no PURRmanent tattoo, I´m a COWARD, this is why I don´t have ANY tattoo... 😻😻😻💖💖💖
I have 3 paw prints representing my dogs of past, present and future. I have loved the dogs in my life, and know I will never be without one. 20171018_1...3ca353.jpg
My black Labrador sammy past away July and I had her paw print on my foot so she still walks with me.
Love it❤ was thinking of doing a portrait of my dog but now I want this☺ any sugestions on a good tattoo artist in los angeles county?
Unfortunately many of the watercolor style tattoos will look like multi color bruises after they age.
Hmm. Why do my dog prints always seem to be a Hugh mess I find after a hard days work and it rained while I was out.
My 15 year old lab Max was put to sleep recently, my vet got a paw print from him after he passed because he hated people touching his paws. I haven't got his print tattooed yet because I can't decide where and in what style. I'm thinking his and my other dog's paw on one leg and my guinea pigs' paws (I have 6) on the other leg.
What if the dog you have 20 years from now becomes your perfect soulmate, are you going to tattoo every pet you have? I worked in a nursing home. You don't want to see what tattoos look like on aged wrinkled skin.
Ink from back when your service users had them done, compared with the inks used now, are a completely different kettle of fish! With decent ink and modern skincare (pretty much everyone moisturises these days and understands the risks of sun bathing), tattoos are fairing much better with people as they age. Also, not all older people get as wrinkley as others, I've worked with people of all ages and backgrounds (I'm an actress, model and make up artist, so I get a very close and personal view of pretty much everyone I work with 😉), I know some folk in their late 60's early 70's with just a few crow's feet by the eyes - that's it! Everywhere else their skin is like that of a well maintained 30yr old. I also know a lady in her late 90's, who even with some light wrinkling all over, her skin is still fairly elastic and holds moisture well - she's had a very strict skincare regime since her teens, her face is incredible to apply make up to, soooo very dewy and luminescent! 😊
