Dog Tattoos

Dog tattoos aren't just beautiful works of art, they also represent the love and dedication we have for our furry four legged friends.

Whether
you are paying tribute to a fallen pup or you wish to commend your best
buddy, dog owners know how irreplaceable a pet dog can be, and that is
why many people are seeking portrait tattoos of their favorite adorable
dogs.

There is no specific area where animal and dog tattoos are most common, but the chest and arm are always excellent locations for any tattoo design.



Most
people prefer the simple dog head portrait, however inking your dogs
entire body is something to consider as well. Perhaps a good back piece idea.



As
you can see from the pictures above, not all dog tattoos are cute and
sweet looking, in fact many folks prefer to portray their dog in a
growling or striking motion. I suppose this would depend on the breed
and temperament of the dog.
