A dog tattoo is definitely the best way to honor and show your gratitude towards your furry friend. Dogs are a very popular tattoo choice among animal lovers because of their loyalty, fidelity, and affection. People also choose to honor their lost beloved companions by printing their portraits on the skin.

A dog is not just a pet, it can also provide protection and support, and can be trained for military, police and as a guide for people with disabilities. Inked on the skin, a dog tattoo represents a powerful symbol of loyalty, faith, protection, vigilance, and intelligence.

Below we made a list with the best dog tattoos that we could find, ranging from chihuahuas to rottweilers. Hope you will enjoy.
