It's a tribute to my babydog Dearly, who passed away last week. But it's also in memory of all of the pets that I have loved & lost so far in my lifetime... Nico, Tiger, Quiche, Radar, Rasta & Piewicket... 7 in all, and a star for each one...
I will add another star for every future pet as well as time goes on. I wanted something old-skool simple and symbolic- like stars- and something that could be added to, but wasn't sure what exactly beyond that... my tattooist Francella (@ Sinister Pleasures here in EPTX) hooked me up with the idea for the stars to trail from ankle to foot, and it was a fab idea, I love the way it turned out, she did a stellar job as usual.
So in addition to being sentimental, it's also cute... good good. I really like that there is a tiny star in there too, because to me, that one is especially for Piewicket, who was just a tiny baby kitten (we had just 1 month together but I adored little Pie) when a stupid dog mauled and killed the poor thing.
I can't wait til it heals. On a side note, damn does it hurt to get tattooed on the foot.

Looks cool. And it's a really sweet idea.
Such an brilliant idea! (But lets hope it doesn't need to go all the way up yer leg)
haha that's funny, kind of...
Nice ink! But that is why I don't have pets anymore, I kept killing them.

Wow....Pretty Foot!
Stumbled onto here and LOVE the tattoo. I'm planning something similar (but different) and the story behind yours just makes it all that much more beautiful. Cheers, F519
