People think I’m mad because I have a matching tattoo with my DOG – I have no regrets, it’s such a conversation starter
DOG owners will do anything for their beloved pooches.
But one woman named Sam has taken it to the extreme by getting matching tattoos with her Beagle, Ted.
The pet owner took her social media followers along on the journey as she headed to a tattoo parlour to get her dog’s tattoo, tattooed on her.
And for those wondering why Sam’s dog has a tattoo in the first place, she explains: “Well, he was in animal testing for the first five years of his life.
“I spend like 99% of my day advocating against animal testing.
“I just feel like this tattoo just makes sense and it’s a great conversation starter to educate people who ask me what the heck my tattoo means.”
In the video shared to TikTok, she then arrives at the studio and waits patiently as the tattoo artist draws out a stencil reading Ted’s research number: “1947487.”
“Ok so we’re going to go small and we have his number and we’re going to get it on my leg this time,” she explains.
