I would be very disappointed with that tatoo. It barely looks like the original and the original is way more symmetrical. But as long as they like it πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

You do indeed have a point there.

It's missing the bottom 1/3rd.

If you cover the area below the glare on the cat photo, it starts to look more similar.

Her name is Sara Brooks, she did not provide the name of the tattoo artist.

I used to have respect for you, but here you are doxxing cats on Lemmy. Poor Ziggy. Now everyone's gonna know how to find them in that box.

Here's a version that respects Ziggy's privacy

Edit: because how bad the tattoo is made, not because of the idea.

She’s really gonna regret that if that cat turns out to be a dog in a cat suit.

Looks like a shrimp head 🦐

Looks like my parents fighting about money

Looks like Sandra Bullock, specifically from Speed 2, fighting with my best friend's aunt at a barbecue

Weird how, on the cat, you have ⚫ ⚫ and then 3 tiers of stripes, but on the tattoo, they only do the top 2 tiers, leaving out the one on the bottom...

I was tempted to do that with our tabby’s markings… until I figured that they kind of look very suggestive in a labial sort of way, lol. To each their own, just not the kind of tattoo I personally was looking for

"Is that a pussy on your arm?"

Uh, yes. but not how you think!

Fucking terrible attempt, though.

[–] EkHouVanBraai@piefed.co.za 2 points 1 month ago

Yea it doesn't look anything alike

[–] felsiq@piefed.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Looks like some stormlight archive shit, I like it

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

A subtle way to show their allegiance to the lobster king. I like it

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The correct term is a cattoo

My brother got an ear tattoo to match the start pattern on his cat's ear.

They screwed up the top and bottom and spread it out too far... It should have been symmetrical. Cool idea though. Too bad about the execution.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Awesome idea! Almost looks like a Mirrors Edge tattoo.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lol at the derp tongue in the kitty cutout.

Also, the two round dots in the tattoo sort of make it look like a face.
