Aww, very sweet! The tattoo artwork makes me think of an illustration from a children's book.
Jiran has shared that she always loved all kinds of animals. Actually, before starting her career as a tattoo artist, she used to work as a nurse at a veterinarian’s office. "I naturally liked drawing animals, and I started my career as a tattooist after getting Hyeogi (my cat) tattooed on my body. I have more than 10 tattoos of him now," the artist revealed.
Before she starts working on a tattoo, Jiran always has conversations with her clients. She asks for pictures of their pets and tries to get to know their personality and sometimes their favorite toys, food, etc. "I think it’s also cute to dress the pet in a style of clothing the client likes," the artist added.
The most memorable tattoos for Jiran are the ones of pets that passed away. However, the artist remembered that one time she had a client who had 7 cats. "They were all siblings, so they all had similar appearances and personalities. But when I was done, she could tell which one was which! I was very happy about that."
So… all these people are like, “Please tattoo a picture of my pet holding a marijuana leaf”???
If "tough love" were a tattoo. Or maybe "I tolerate you, servant"
