The dog on the tattoo serves both as an unusual body decoration and as a tribute to the memory of a pet. There are practically no restrictions in the choice of technology, which means that craftsmen and their clients can freely experiment with the design of the sketch.

The meaning of a tattoo depicting a dog

Many salon clients have portraits of their pets tattooed on their bodies. These tattoos are designed in a realistic style.

The dog symbolizes loyalty, devotion, courage and willingness to protect. The image of a black dog has a less positive context. Since ancient times, this animal was considered the embodiment of dark forces and the guardian of the gates to the other world.

The meaning of the tattoo depends largely on the breed of the dog depicted:

• pit bull is a symbol of courage and aggression;
• Doberman - a protective amulet;
• The bulldog is a symbol of American Marines and British aristocrats.

Options for designing a “dog” tattoo

Monochrome sketches are created in the styles of graphics, realism, vipshading, and sketch. Portrait images are made on a large scale, so they are printed on such parts of the body as shoulders, back, chest, and “sleeves”.

Colored tattoos are created using new school, realism, and watercolor techniques. These can be funny portraits in a cartoon style.
