The image of a dog is primarily associated with fidelity and devotion. This animal has been accompanying a person since ancient times, having managed to become a faithful companion in all spheres of his life during this time. Faithful dogs serve in the army, help law enforcement officers and rescuers, facilitate the difficult life of the disabled, work in delivery services, run in teams through the endless snowy deserts of the northernmost latitudes, accompany hunters … These quick-witted and devoted animals have even been in space. Some people cannot imagine life without a four-legged friend. No wonder that in the art of tattooing the image of this beast occupies a special place. It cannot be said that the "Dog" tattoo is too common. It is chosen by those whose life is somehow connected with this animal.
True friend

In addition to the portrait of a dog, on such a tattoo you can often see his nickname or date of birth. "Dog" is a tattoo that men often choose. But cute dogs with golden hair, we can oftenmeet on girls. And some get a tattoo in memory of a four-legged friend who is no longer around.
Strength and power
Some breeds of dogs cause completely different associations. For example, fighting dogs are not only strong, but often aggressive. They are always ready to stand up for themselves and those they love. Often a portrait of a pit bull or rottweiler speaks of the cool disposition of the owner of the Dog tattoo. The value is associated with the nature of the breed, which is shown in the figure. A bared mouth, saliva flowing from fangs, an evil look - all this often indicates that we are facing a person with a difficult character, whom it is better not to anger.
Dreams that came true
Not everyone has the opportunity to have a pet at home. Yes, and some breeds are simply fabulous money. Often those who dream of a dog depict her portrait on their bodies. So the dream seems closer. But good thoughts are material. And this thought gives hope for its real embodiment.
Memory of an army friend
A special place among all tattoos dedicated to dogs is the army theme. Not a single border guard, for example, imagines life without a reliable dog. If you meet a person whose shoulder or back is decorated with a portrait of a German shepherd, surrounded by a scattering of shells or several striped columns, know that in front of you is the one who served in the border troops. Often accompanied by service dogs of representatives of other branches of the armed forces, for example, sappers or fighters against drug trafficking. Forthem "Dog" - a tattoo in memory of the service and those who were nearby in difficult times, stood shoulder to shoulder.

We often see the image of a faithful dog in a variety of styles. Fans of old-school tattoos, where the image of an animal can be decorated with hearts, ribbons with inscriptions, and crosses, fell in love with this plot. Lovers of watercolor tattoos depict a variety of breeds, do not skimp on bright colors.
In steampunk dogs, we can see aviation helmets, monocles, lace frills and pocket watches hanging from chains. Not indifferent to these animals and biomechanics, thanks to which muscular canine bodies acquire such additions as microcircuits protruding from under the skin or robotic limbs. But the most popular style of depicting beloved pets has been and remains realism.
