Just got this tattoo today (my first ever). I had her for 15 years when she passed earlier this year. Her name was Rose and she loved laying across my left arm while I was at my desk.

    ah it’s probably too late for that over here, but I think the clay impression could be used to recreate it.

    Thanks for the tip! And I’m so sorry for your loss

      It might not be. The place I used didn’t cremate for a number of days to give time for me to change my decisions. If you want it, I recommend contacting them and asking. It can’t hurt to find out.

        Just did, sounds like it’s too late. No biggie though. Thanks for suggesting I find out for sure <3

          :( I’m sorry. I had a similar experience with my first cat that passed away. I wanted a paw print but didn’t advocate for it or really check that I’d get one. It was very sudden and I didn’t know how to handle things like that at the time.

            awwwww :<

            yeah, it was really sudden with our boy too.

            but I did at least ask for two paw impressions in clay. If I really wanted to go all out, I could try to cast some silicone into one of them and take ink prints of that, or even just get a flat ink print right off the clay thingy.

              My artist ended up tracing the paw print for the tattoo rather than using the file directly so depending on what you want to do with it you might not even need to do that.
