Plan your pet tattooExplore the galleryA portrait with personality
A favourite expression. An unmistakable pair of ears. The collar they never went anywhere without. A pet portrait tattoo can bring those familiar details into a design you carry with you.
At The Fountainhead Tattoo, we work with you to plan a custom piece around your pet, your preferred style and the way the design will sit on your body. From a playful illustrative portrait to a thoughtful memorial tattoo, the starting point is the story you want to tell.

Dog & cat portrait tattoos
A portrait can focus on a familiar face or tell a more playful story through flowers, clothing, favourite objects or a distinctive colour palette. Tell us about your companion's habits and personality, as well as how they look.
The examples above lean toward illustrative and neotraditional tattooing. If you prefer another approach, discuss it with the studio so we can help you choose a suitable artist. You can also explore our portrait tattoo work.
Pet memorial tattoos
A memorial tattoo can be a quiet tribute or a joyful reminder of life together. A name, a meaningful date, a favourite flower or a small personal detail can be considered alongside the portrait.
You do not need a finished design before getting in touch. If you have only a few photographs, send what you have and talk with the artist about what can be developed from them.
Planning your custom pet tattoo
Share your companion
Bring clear photographs and a few words about your pet. Let us know your preferred style, approximate size, placement and which studio you would like to visit.
Shape the design
Discuss expression, colour, background details and composition with your artist. Size and placement should give important features enough room to read clearly.
Confirm your appointment
Your artist will discuss the scope, quote, availability and booking requirements before you commit. Timing depends on the design and the artist's schedule.

Pet tattoo questions
How much does a pet portrait tattoo cost?
The quote depends on the artist, size, placement, detail and time needed. Send your reference photos and an outline of your idea for a consultation. The artwork prices on our fine-art portrait page are separate from tattoo pricing.
Can I get a dog or cat memorial tattoo?
Yes, you can discuss a pet memorial design with the studio. Bring the photographs you have, along with any names, dates or personal details you would like considered.
How big should a pet portrait tattoo be?
There is no single size that suits every portrait. Your artist will consider the detail in the face, the style and where the tattoo will go, then recommend a scale that gives the design enough room.
Can I include more than one pet?
Bring photos of each pet and discuss the composition with your artist. Multiple portraits need enough space for each face and may change the size and time required.
Can I save these pet tattoo ideas to Pinterest?
Yes. Each gallery image has a Save to Pinterest link that opens Pinterest with the image and this page's address. You can choose a board after signing in. Share your inspiration with your artist when planning an original design.
Do you also offer pet paintings and drawings?
For a piece to display at home, explore SideKick Portraits' custom pet portraits in Edmonton. That page covers charcoal drawings, oil paintings and artwork commission pricing.
