More Canine Ink

Unfortunately not all the tattoos I wrote about in Indelible Dogs (BARk, Mar/Apr 2008) made it into the issue, and that just seemed like such a shame. So here are tattoos from folks you read about but didn’t see. From left to right: DeAnna Miller’s portrait of her Pug, Puglsey Ann, was the first dog-inspired tattoo I’d ever seen. Kelly McGuire got a tattoo of Geisha as part of the grieving process after her pug died. Tamara Sellers celebrates her three dogs in the colors of Shaggy Pines Dog Park in Michigan where she works. Karen Mountain, the owner Bark Natural Pet Care in Seattle, pays tribute to her dogs, Boone and Bubba, with their names framed in bone shapes. (Click on any image for a better view.)
