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.

    :( 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.
