My old dog (obviously named Buddy), passed away July 23, 2008. Two months after his passing, I got this tattoo in memory of him. He was a huge part of my life, and I miss him dearly. That paw print is his actual paw. We knew a week in advance we had to put him down because he was full of cancer, so I had this idea brewing for a while. Funny story, I dunked his foot in black paint and stamped it on a piece of paper for the artist to use as a reference, I didn’t want some random paw. I wanted HIS paw. Either way, I got the print and let him go, figuring I got what I needed… I forgot his foot was covered in black paint! He took off, tracking black paws all over the wooden floors. It was great.
It’s on my inner fore arm, right below the middle of the arm.
And this was Buddy, AKA Bigelow, Babalu, Dogzina, Dogzilla, and waaaay too many more.
Your story brings tears to my eyes, i love animals specially dogs. I’ve been thinking about having something tattood for my old dog, a black lab called laku (liquorice in finnish). He passed away about 4 years ago but i still miss him all the time. I have 2 dogs atm, and we will prob take a third one when we move to a bigger place. Anyway, the paw thing about your tattoo is really sweet, so sorry about your loss.
