Hi everyone. I've been wanting to get Niņo's paw print as a tattoo since before I was even old enough to get one. Now four tattoos later and I haven't even gotten around to doing anything other than getting some prints. He's just a super nervous guy at times and doesn't like us messing with his feet or legs, but I managed to get two pages of prints off of his front left paw. None of them are perfect and you can see the smudges from his hair even though I tried not to get paint on his hair, but I don't want to alter them any.

So far I am thinking either the top one or the bottom one on the first sheet. For a while I toyed with the idea of translating it to pointillism so I could have it fade away where it is smudged naturally because I liked the parallel to the transient nature of life. It comes and it goes and you enjoy it while it's here. In a pointillism image, thousands of tiny dots come together to form something very concrete and real. In life, thousands of tiny molecules that can be found almost anywhere separately come together to form life in a very unique and irreplaceable being.
Anyway, the old man didn't really enjoy the whole process of giving me some paw prints so it'll be from these. And it is going on my left forearm because Niņo's got a little paw print made up of spots on his left leg. I'm thinking it'll be in black and grey but I did think of getting it in browns so it sort of looks like a permanent henna.
I also think the bottom one on the second sheet would translate to pointillism the best.
