This is my first tattoo of my dog, Strauss's, actual pawprint. We had to put him down a week before i graduated highschool..so i got this tattoo so he is always walking with me. And yes, it's supposed to look imperfect and muddy as if he just came up to me and stepped on my foot after running outside. It was done by Aaron Hoover of Shikshinny, PA. He was wonderful and patient for how much i twitched and almost kicked him during this tattoo haha.
