Would you get a tattoo of your Yorkie?

Yeah I'm not emotional either, but it's funny how these little guys can just make you so darn sensitive, huh. I think that you feel different types of love for your babies cuz I'm sure you love them both very much, but maybe Biddy makes your emotional side come out. I would probably get Prince's face around my heart cuz that's where he'll always be. I know that sounds cheesy. He is only 1 and a half years old and I've already decided that when he crosses the bridge I'm going to get him stuffed so that he can be with me forever. Selfish of me, huh.

I have a tattoo of a sun around my belly.. and I have actually considered getting a tattoo of my two yorkies. I love them so much.. that I wouldn't mind having them on me forever!

I have always wanted a tatoo but have been too chicken. I thought of getting little paw prints on my back to represent each pup, that would cut out the needing to get each picture done.

I seen a 2 women with yorkie tattoos at the Tattoo expo last year. The one was very beautiful. It was on her upper arm, it was just the face of her Yorkie It was a really beautiful tattoo. The other lady had hers on her back. It was more cartoon looking. I didn't care for it at all! I would get one of Gus if I can find a very good artest to do it. I was thinking of having my tattoo guy draw me a picture of Gus to see how he would do but I think I have enough tattoos. And wouldn't know where to place it.

This is so funny, that was my birthday present from my husband this year. I tatoo of one of my yorkies. My birthday was in June and I still haven't picked who is going to be on my body. This is going to be my third tatoo. But I better get busy deciding huh...???

Ooh, I just saw that episode of Miami Ink where the girl gets her beloved deceased Chi inked on her hip. It was beautiful artwork, but i don't think Id go rushing out to get Olivia tattooed on me. I do have a little butterfly on my hip, but it is down pretty low. Most of my friends dont know i even have it. I just dont want my tattoos to be exposed all the time. I firmly believe what they say is true about tattoos being a scar with a story. But I do admit that I have considered getting a dove to honor my younger brother John who passed away Feb 2004. Now I am thinking, John and I were together for 18 years, Olivia could live almost that long. So, maybe something to honor her. I like the idea of a paw print, but as for her face, I don't think I would.

I agree, I decided a short time after Alex passed last year I would get a little tattoo to honor her memory. I decided that I would get a paw print tattoo with her name below it. I wouldn't get a picture tattoo. I am going to get it just below the pants line on the right side of my stomach. I have finally built up the courage to go, it has been more the pain and finality of her being gone more so then the pain of getting a tattoo. I have had several things peirced including my tongue for 6 years. So I am not scared for the pain but I could change my mind about the pain after it starts.

It doesnt hurt, at least it didnt on my hip besides, something small will be over in like 20 minutes. I love your idea w the paw print and the name. I would do tht even now before olivia passed (if i wanted any more tattoos ).

I had never thought about it before...I have several tattoos but they were all things that i have designed on my own....I dont go for the flash stuff. I like "traditional" style so I dont think that i would do the "realistic" version on me (though I have seen several people that have them of their pets.) I guess I would do a cutsie one of of Gidget in the traditional style (my son got me a plastic yorkie doll (from the littlest pet shop...they are like litle bobble head animals) so that would be cute......But I have so many others that I want to do before that :P i just have no $ to go get everything that I want......kids and pups take up alot of your fun $ :P...if anyone gets one be sure to post

I would absolutely get a tatoo my of dog, but i am too chicken!!! I am a wimp
when it comes to pain. Who knows maybe one day i will get the courage to do it. I would have it done on my lower back, so i could cover it if i needed too. To the person with the pics attached (can't remember your name.. sorry ) , they are probably the best looking and real looking tatoo's i have ever seen.
