Does anyone have one for a pet that has passed away? If so, would you mind sharing what your tattoo looks like. Thank you!

  Re: Memorial Tattoos Reply Contact  Aw, I think that's sweet!  I don't know of anyone w/ pet tattoos, but a friend of mine died when we were 12 and her mom found this doodling she did of a vine and had it tattooed on her wrist.  Another friend works at V Tech and got an anklet tattoo.  The "charm" is a VT logo and the "links" are one for each of the victims (shooter included).

  Re: Memorial Tattoos Reply Contact I'm not really into tatoos, but when I read this it made me remember...when my FIL passed away earlier this year, the funeral home actually cremated peoples pets.  What they did have for you as a rememberance was a necklace you could buy with a copy of their nose print, or paw print, which I thought was really cool.  On the back was the pets name date of birth/death.  That's all I can remember for sure, but I thought it was a sweet way to always remember, without the pain of being tatooed.  :) Handle every situation like a dog.

Where was this if you don't mind me asking? ..Do they have a website?

  Re: Memorial Tattoos Reply Contact I think your idea is wonderful! I actually got two small paw prints a few years back in honor of my two doggies... even tho both were still with me at that time. Now, I'm thinking of adding a third w/angel wings to represent FeFe. Most folks around here thought I was crazy (I live in a TEENIE town) but I'm very satisfied with it... and that's all that counts!

  Re: Memorial Tattoos Reply Contact   Just wanted to update everyone to let you know that I went ahead and got Harley's memorial tattoo. I had my first sitting last wednesday and I'll go back for the final sitting in about 3 weeks. Right now it's just the outline and some shading. When I go back I will have all the color added in.  The tattoo it self is Harley's pawprint (I had it enlarged) with wings and bursts of light come from behind the pawprint. I really liked the burst of light idea that the artist came up with. It represents how strong and vibrant Harley was while he was alive. Here's a pic of the half done tattoo. I'll post another once the color has been done.  Cheers!
