Dog tattoo

Stories in ink: a Dog tattoo for every bond

Dogs mark our days in quiet ways: a nudge at the door, a wag after a long shift, a look that speaks without a word. A Dog tattoo captures that feeling you never want to forget, and lets you wear it close. Our temporary pieces are crisp, easy to apply, and designed to sit comfortably with your style, not shout over it.

Every design is printed with skin‑kind, vegan inks and a finish that resists showers, sweat and the occasional muddy adventure. The colours stay true, the lines stay sharp, and when you’re ready for a change, it lifts without drama. Think of it as a gentle promise: all the sentiment, none of the permanence.

Designs people are loving this year

• Paw prints with presence: a single tiny step or a playful trail. They tuck neatly on the wrist or collarbone, and pair beautifully with our Paw tattoos for a layered, tactile look.
• Breed silhouettes: fine, minimal outlines that let the ears, muzzle and tail do the talking. Understated, elegant, and ideal for a forearm or shoulder.
• Portrait work: softly shaded, realistic pieces that feel like a glance across the room. A favourite for commemorating a beloved companion; think of it as a wearable keepsake.
• Watercolour splashes: loose washes of colour that bleed like a sunset behind your pup’s outline. Lively on the upper arm or calf, and a lovely foil to clean line work.
• Heartline details: a heartbeat line that curls into a small nose and ears, or a tiny tag with initials—quiet, affectionate, and easy to place.

Prefer playful energy? Mix a minimal canine outline with something sweet from your wardrobe of styles, or even pair it with a feline foil from our Cat tattoos if your home is happily divided.

Meaning that lingers

For many of us, this isn’t just decoration. It’s loyalty you can see. A canine tattoo can nod to everyday companionship—the morning walk, the fetch in the park, that soft thud when they curl at your feet. It can also be a gentle memorial, a way to keep a familiar face close when the house has gone quiet. Some add a date hidden in the line of a collar; others choose a small ear shape only they recognise. However you wear it, the message is tender and true.

Celebrating your crew? Thread a paw mark between names or initials, or weave a silhouette into a small cluster inspired by our Family tattoos. The story becomes yours in the details.

Where it sits best on skin

• Wrist and ankle: perfect for fine line work and delicate paw marks—glimpses that appear as you move.
• Inner arm or shoulder: generous space for portrait pieces and colour washes without losing nuance.
• Behind the ear or along the clavicle: subtle placements that feel almost whispered, ideal for tiny tags or initials.
• Thigh or back: room for larger compositions—silhouettes at scale or a soft watercolour scene.

Find your pack

Some days you’re all cuddle and couch; some days you’re out chasing horizons. Balance the domestic and the untamed by pairing your piece with something from our wilder side, like Wolf tattoos. Or keep it cosy with a companion set that nods to both species and spirit—dogs, cats, and the humans who adore them.

Whichever direction you take, keep the rhythm organic. Let a paw print lead to a line of script, or a silhouette echo a necklace you already wear. Mix matte with watercolour, tiny with bold; there’s poetry in contrast. And if you’re experimenting, these pieces make it simple to try placements and sizes before committing to anything permanent. 🐾
