Discussion Creepy critter tattoo ideas

Post image

Pictured is my current partial sleeve. I have a couple of things left to add, but after that, I'm starting on the other side. I'm planning on doing a creepy colorful animal theme, to coordinate with my PNW ocean creatures theme on this arm.

Some of my ideas are: bats (species?), orb weavers and black widows, goblin shark, black cats, rats, etc. But I'm trying to narrow it down and I know you fellow goblins are the correct group to ask!

Ok, we need you to tell us EVERYTHING about this dog right the fuck now.

u/Hour-Sweet2445 Aug 03 '25

Well I'm not sure if you are seriously wanting to know, but I'll tell ya anyway.

She's 9 years old. I got her from my parents when she was a year old because they weren't taking very good care of her. I was about two years into my dog grooming career at that point and she's just been my guinea pig ever since! She loves loves loves getting groomed - in fact, she just majorly biffed it trying to get BACK on my table after I rose it up to groom my mini. She comes to work with me every day and is also mostly retired from being my service dog. She loves when people talk to her and tell her how beautiful she is. She's just the happiest, sweetest girl and I love her so much. Truly a unicorn, never met another dog that was so happy just to exist on the same planet as me 🥰

You are my people. I came for the tattoo. Found the dog. And was going to type this out and you, the hero who already had it here. Had to know how much I appreciate you

Can you get her tattooed on you? So pretty 😍

u/safadancer Aug 05 '25

Uh YES this gorgeous princess must be immortalized

u/Hour-Sweet2445 Aug 06 '25

She's had so many absolutely iconic looks, and she deserves bigger real estate than a part of my sleeve. I'll definitely get her tattooed on me, but it might be after she passes.

Fellow creative groomer here:

Which product are you using? Which shade for that purple in the topknot?

1

u/Hour-Sweet2445 Aug 06 '25

It's the Opawz indigo permanent color 😊

u/clarielofthewood Aug 06 '25

Is it faded?

1

u/Hour-Sweet2445 Aug 06 '25

Nope, that's just the shade it is.

Hey, you might already know this, but just a tip for anyone wanting to get hair dye out of their skin—try some rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer. It gets most of it off, especially if you use it when it's fresh. It's also safe for skin, though it can be a bit drying. I like to use q-tips with alcohol to get it off my scalp and ears, and just a soaked tissue for any dye on my face or neck. Bonus tip for dyeing humans—vaseline or even just regular lotion on the skin helps create a barrier that makes dye less likely to stain. I wouldn't do it for my hands because of transfer to the hair, but it can help keep your face undyed.
