Dog tattoos

A love like no other—expressed in dog tattoos

There’s something remarkably pure about the bond between humans and dogs. It’s more than companionship—it’s a quiet understanding, a fierce loyalty, an everyday joy. Our dog tattoo collection is inspired by that soulful connection. Whether it’s a nod to your current four-legged friend or a tribute to one you still carry in your heart—we believe every tattoo tells a story.

Crafted for dog lovers, this collection brings together designs that speak to devotion, playfulness and memory. They're ideal for people who see their pets not just as animals, but as part of the family—and want to wear that love proudly, even if just for a little while.

Designs for every kind of dog person

Our tattoo styles range from charmingly minimal to emotionally rich. Each one is created to be wearable, meaningful and discreet—or bold—depending on your personal canvas:

• Paw prints – Subtle but iconic, these tiny tattoos are perfect for the wrist, inner arm or ankle. A delicate way to say: “They were here.”
• Dog silhouettes – Clean lines that capture the spirit of specific breeds, whether you’re team Labrador or all about Frenchies. Great for the forearm, shoulder blade or calf.
• Portrait-style ink – For those who want their dog with them in full detail, our realistic artwork blends fine lines and shading with light emotion. Ideal for larger placements like the thigh or chest.
• Watercolour blends – If vibrant and expressive is your vibe, our splashy designs bring colour and whimsy to your canine tribute.

Try layering or mixing these with other earthy styles from our Paw tattoos or the adorable picks in our Cat tattoos collection—because one furry friend is rarely enough 🐾.

What your ink might say (without saying anything)

We often choose tattoos not just for how they look, but for how they feel. And dog tattoos tend to carry emotion tucked just below the surface:

• Loyalty – A quiet permanence. A trait that dogs live effortlessly, and that we honour through ink that sits true against the skin.
• Heartfelt companionship – For many, dogs are emotional anchors. Your tattoo can reflect that warmth: protective, constant, and utterly sincere.
• A goodbye that never quite ends – This one’s tender. Many turn to tattoos as a gentle memorial for a dog that’s crossed the rainbow bridge. It’s less about the pain, more about keeping the joy.

Some designs speak loudly, others whisper. But either way—they stay with you, for as long as you need.

Where your dog tattoo belongs

Choosing where to place your tattoo is almost as personal as choosing the design itself. Sometimes they’re meant to be seen. Other times, kept quietly close.

Small paw prints nestle perfectly behind the ear, on the inside of the wrist or just below the ankle bone—little marks for quiet moments. Larger portraits and colourful illustrations glow best on broader skin, like upper arms, thighs or across the back.

And if you’re sharing your body with more than one animal love, consider combining a dog silhouette with something from our Lion tattoos or Wolf tattoos for a striking balance of wild love and domestic heart.

More than fur—more than fashion

Dog tattoos aren’t about trends. They’re gentle declarations of affection, draped in ink. And thanks to our use of vegan colourants and skin-safe adhesives, these designs are cruelty-free, waterproof and certified for use across the EU.

Whether you're honouring puppy nostalgia or simply showing off your canine cred, your tattoo can be as playful, sweet or soulful as you'd like it to be. And the best part? It’ll fade in time—just like dog hair on your clothes—but the memory lasts far longer.
