Man Gets Basenji Tattoo

[Rocky1]

I have two tattoos, the first is my dear departed Thunders' paw print. It's right above my heart.I got it four months before he passed.
I'm so glad that I did,as I had no idea he would leave me so soon after.

The other tattoo is of him running full out. It was taken from a pix of him at a LGRA meet. It's on my left upper arm.
I feel very comforted by having these tattoos,I look at them daily and remember how special he was.
I would recommend anyone who loses a special B to get a tattoo of them. It is a healing thing.At least for me.

I don't have any tatoos, mainly because I have never been able to pinpoint something I know I would be happy with for the rest of my life. But I am pretty sure I could be happy with a Basenji tat forever :)

@Quercus:

That guy (Chad?) used to post here :)

I was wondering when i was watching it if he might be a member, really pleased he is, was lovely to see someone so positive about the breed. And he was rather lovely to watch ;)

Awww… I approve!

Rocky1, would love to see pictures of your tattoos if you don't mind sharing.

There are a few exhibitors in the northwest that I have spotted basenji tattoos on and I remember seeing a spread in the basenji magazine or maybe the BCOA bulletin about someone who had a mural done on her upper back in color. It was pretty cool.

I have tattoos myself but have yet to acquire anything basenji related. Key word, yet… :)

Wow, very cool. Quite a mellow basenji IMO.

Here is my father's tattoo of our Geasy :).

I have two non-Basenji tattoo and I really envy of this dad's tattoo.
But I am planning to get Basenji tattoo soon.

I remember seeing this on your dad while at a show and thought it was great:D

Irena - love your dad's tatoo of Geasy - the artist did a wonderful job! If I were a guy, and if I were younger, and if I could stand the pain, I'd definitely have a B tatoo!

Irena, your dad's tattoo is beautiful!
I've been thinking about getting one of Cody or to represent Cody, but I haven't figured out exactly what yet. I have about 17 regular tattoos now, so I think my best friend deserves to leave his mark too :)

Irena - What a super tattoo of your dad's.

I think it's a lvvely idea and I'm admiring of you brave people with your tattoos.

Irena, your Dad's tattoo looks realy good.
I'm not brave enough to have a tattoo
