70 dog footprint tattoos (and what they mean)

In most cases, this type of tattoo is used to honor or eternally pay tribute to this loyal companion who has been with us for a long time, whether he is still here or has passed away.

Dogs are man's best four-legged friends. They are much more than pets, they are family members. They will always be happy, no matter what, if they can be with you ... and this is a sign of true friendship.

Wearing your dog's print tattoo will make you remember all those times when when you came home your dog was overcome with emotion and kept jumping and even peeing on himself because you were there.

Or when you take him for a walk and he goes crazy because he saw other dogs. You will remember how he played, and you know that he will always be by your side; you will remember every tender moment when he did everything possible so that you never stop giving him affection.

On the other hand, you don't have to be the owner of a dog to get yourself one of these tattoos, especially if they are the usual fingerprints we imagine when we talk about them.

Those who love animals usually have tattoos of dogs or other animal footprints, or even whole designs of animals.

Dog Tattoo Ideas

It is a very good idea to paint some footprints on the skin, forming a path, as if a dog had passed by. These tattoos look good on long, narrow areas of the body such as arms, legs, and ribs. Sometimes they look good on the back too.

If you decide to tattoo a single print, it should be larger and more detailed. Some people prefer to draw only the silhouette with thin lines, while others prefer a complete drawing.

There are more complex designs with shadows and reliefs that give the impression of being imprinted on snow or mud. You can even add details like hair marks or claw marks.

As is often the case, dog footprint tattoos are used to remember a pet. Very often you can see them along with the name or nickname of the animal.

You can also place a toy or favorite food of your conversation partner, such as bones or a piece of meat, on your drawing.

As for one or two prints, they can be ideally placed on any part of the body, depending on their size. The most popular locations are the shoulders, wrists, back of the ear, neck, and ankles.
