There are many ways to show the man's best friend that you're his best friend too - you can buy your dog treats, take him for adventures and make sure he lives a comfortable, happy life. But if you want to commemorate the ups and downs you had together with your cute puppy, why not getting a tattoo to immortalize that?
With many tattoo designs available, not only can you get the portrait of your beloved pooch inked, but can also choose from more abstract or minimalist tattoo ideas to show your appreciation for the four-legged friend. There are so many reasons why cute dogs melt our hearts, but the most important things are that they do not care about your career choices, your wealth or your flaws, a dog will love you no questions asked.
Bored Panda collected some of the most beautiful works by the best tattoo artists honoring dogs. Upvote the ones you'd love to ink on your skin and submit your own dog tattoos if you already have one!

Absolutely stunning, I'm not a tat fan really, but I would have this...
This is adorable. Well of course. It's a fat puppy. How could it not be?!
Really cool design.... skilled artist in two styles who made that....
I love Jack Russell Terriers, they are my favourite breed...they are fearless little psychopaths, and very sweet at the same time.
Permanently together forever I just wish I thought of that before my dog passed away
Is it real tattoo or just a drawing made by felt-tip pen? :D Looks like someone was trying if it writes on the skin before the paw was drawn :D
My dog knew me better than anyone and your tattoo puts how I feel on skin. Inspirational
R. I. P LITTLE FRIEND. ALWAYS REMEMBERED AND LOVED
The script at top looks off center but it's not. It's the way the photo was taken and the angle of my arm. It wraps around quite a ways on both sides and this puts her name dead center of the full design.
If someone could help me come up with a minimalist tattoo for my dog, I’d gladly pay!

(They wanted to know what sort of thing I had in mind and could they see some examples). Here's a picture of Oscar for anyone who's interested/likes cute dog pictures. (Oops, picture didn't load.

Does anybody know who these tattoo artists are? In interested in getting a tattoo of my pup who recently passed away
I trained my dog online without ever leaving home! I managed to 100% train my dog with www.PawsomeDogs.org -- this works great if you want an easy way to train your dog fast. The website is filled with carefully compiled dog training videos. I was able to teach my dog almost every trick imaginable and also correct many behavioral issues such as potty-training, pulling on the leash, excessive barking, etc. If you want a perfectly behaved dog FAST, this is for you. It worked great for correcting the most common dog issues! Best of luck!
