Doron Wolffberg, Founder of All About Cats has commented on celebrating your pets and its importance:
“Our pets love nothing more than a bit of TLC and there is no better way to do this acknowledging this unique and deserving day, dedicated to your feline friend. Those who have a strong attachment to their pet may choose to commemorate them with a tattoo. A tattoo of your pet is not uncommon, but it is one of the most passionate ways to remember them. Whether your pet  has passed away or is still with you, it’s important to memorialise the love and memories of your pets, however that may be.
When it comes to getting your pets tattooed is be creative and try to show your pet’s personality through the design of the tattoo, make sure you find a good tattoo artist, one with whom you connect with, not only style-wise but you need to be comfortable around them as they will be working on your body for your chosen art piece. Another tip is to give enough references and pictures of your pet to ensure the tattoo artist can capture their essence as correctly as possible.”
