BAXTER
I decided to get my first pet portrait tattoo in honor of my dog, Baxter. I didn’t necessarily want just a portrait of him and I liked the idea of a Foo Dog design but didn’t want something too generic. Having seen Chad’s artistic abilities, I thought a piece representing my dog as a Foo Dog would be a perfect combination, and he nailed it.
This portrait tattoo means a lot to me because dogs have always been an important part of my life. Having a tribute of one of my best companions means he will always be with me. Having that tribute be a unique piece of art that I get to wear everyday is as good as it gets.

HALLOWEEN DOG
This pet portrait tattoo expresses the joys in my life, my Boston terrier and Halloween. I went to Chad because his work is absolutely fantastic. Bold, colorful, and fun. I knew that he would understand just how important these are to me. I told him about how when she was a puppy, I carried her around town in a pumpkin pale. His enthusiasm to create this piece had me over the moon with excitement. It makes a client feel good when the artist truly cares about what they put on your body. Chad took an idea and turned it into a visual love letter.
