Reminds me of my boy, Duncan, who passed a few years ago. The duck on the cup commemorates my cats’ favorite toy.

The cloak is inspired by Vin’s mistcloak from the Mistborn series.

Clinging kitty I did a few years ago.

My first knee tattoo, a beautiful benevolent bodhisattva masterfully ink by Zushi Seo in Lynwood, WA.

I love doing pet portraits especially when I get to do them in their natural playful personality. My client’s cat had a special flamingo stuffy that it loved dearly.

Just got my two cats inked!

This is my first tattoo, at the ripe old age of 45. After having cats my entire life, the last one recently passed away, and I wanted to commemorate all my precious kitties with an image of them journeying on a rocket to their next adventure.

Got it on Saturday, still very tender, but I think healing okay!

I got this cat tattoo done a year ago in Maine. It has the names of my cats embedded into the design: Caroline (RIP), Zeus, and Beatrice! ❤️

We lost our 15yo void in February of 2025 and I had this done on Friday June 13th last year. I didn't know Friday the 13th was a thing in tattoo circles, I just thought it was cute to get a black cat tattoo on Friday the 13th.

Done by Sabel Lopez (sabelsstudio on insta).

I love doing pet portraits in my sketchy watercolor style! Gives them that little extra flare.
