I know people love their pets but sometimes people forget that the pets they love so much do not share the same interests. Dogs, Cats and even hamsters love to lounge around all day, sleep and eat, maybe go for that occasional walk down the street and check out the sights.

What I douby they care about is image or how “cool” or how “sick” their tattoos and piercings look to humans. But some animal lovers get blinded by the “coolness” factor and end up trying to get their pet dog to look like them, probabably without even realizing how much pain their beloved friend will endure.

Also, I gotta add, any vet that does this type of thing is just plain sick and wicked. I can’t imagine being forced into body piercing and the animals we love so much should not be either.

I can see why people into body piercing and tattoos would want to
involve the animals they love in that life, but this goes a bit too far.

When will everyone understand that your pets are NOT human! They do not share our trends nor our styles. They do not care about art! They probably do not even know what art is.

These 2 fish have tattoos on them and got sold that way from a pet shop. I am sure the tattoos on the fish made the ordinary 10 cent goldfish go for much, much more, But do the fish know they have the tattoos… Ahh NO.

From what I read, fish only have a memory that lasts 1 minute or less

We’ve all seen or even know people who are addicted to body modification - from multiple piercings to tattoos and much more. But it seems some folks are taking this trend much too far and inflicting it on their pets.

from (bmezine) - You can find everything from people who paint their cats, to those who pierce their fish and tattoo their dogs. If body modification is a form of self-expression then shouldn’t the decision to get a tattoo or a piercing be left with the individual? Even when it comes to our pets?

Giving a dog or cat a pierced ear or nose is all the rage today in certain circles .

I’ve seen pictures of pit bulls with multiple piercings, including lips, eyebrows and cheeks. For a human with these body ornaments, that’s fine. We know how to take care of them, not to scratch with our toenails or to get our earrings caught in a fence. Animals will only learn the lesson when the piercing is pulled violently out of their flesh by accident. Oh, did I mention that some aquarium owners have pierced their fish?? Recent legislation in some parts of the world are seeking to put an end to the unnecessary body art and physical alteration of pets.

However, I find it unfortunate that a law has to be made to prevent an animal from being treated with cruelty. (bmezine)

As cool as this pit bull may look, I doubt he feels as cool. This poor dog has gone through torturous piercings with no way to speak out against it.

All the dog knows is that there is foriegn parts in his body, and I bet he tries over and over again to remove them.

The owner may think his pit looks wicked, but most of us feel very sorry for the dog that has to endure this.

We would never accept others making decisions for us that involved our bodies, and we should never do it to our pets that can not speak.

The sad thing is that these people really DO LOVE their pets, they are simply too naive and do not understand that the pets want no part of the lifestyle they chose for themselves.

Body art is a choice for people, but when forced upon our pets, it becomes torture and animal cruelty. I know the people who do this do not see it like that and most likely LOVE the pets… but they should wake up and understand that the pets only reaction to the implants, tattoos and bod mod is pain with no way to explain why the person they trust and protect, wants to put them through that.

Hopefully, pet owners will come to understand that their pets are not them and do not share the same desires forpiercings and tattoos. Also, I have heard that some states are putting into law animal cruelty regulations for people who do want to make that choice for their pets.

I hope anyone who does this gets prosecuted for animal cruelty and sent to jail… the practice is sick!

A few comments about the subject posted to another site

When we got our dog, a pure bred German Sheperd, he went through the procedure of getting a registered serial number from the kennel club, tattooed onto his inner ear–the tattoo artist was employed by the kennel club. I can honestly say, that watching him get that done was the most heart breaking experience ever!! The dog cried like never before and I felt horrible about it =(

speaking as someone who has tattoos, a dog, and an open mind. i think you are sick. the thought of inflicting an animal who is supposedly in your care with a tattoo is fucked up. do what you like to yourself,

but making yourself unique by putting your animal through pain is sick, you clearly have no idea how to treat an animal and in my opinion you should not be allowed to have an animal with such fucked up ideas. how would you feel if your parents had you tattooed as a baby with some design they thought was cool so they could have a baby with a quirk. get a fucking clue. if anything is going to be tattooed i think it should be you, with big fucking letters across your forehead saying “I am an irresponible prick keep animals away from me.”

i have done some decorative tattooing on dogs under the supervision of my friend the vet….all animals are given tranquili

zer beforehand …..the coolest one was a bitch dog with biggo titties…on a male albino boxer……and who are you to judge who is sick…how do know that the dogs dont want to be tattooed…..

you say how do you know the dog doesnt want a tattoo? well, how do you know it does??? you have no right making a decision like that! you are not god and you have no right doing that to an animal that has no say in the situation. you should have an animal for its companionship and love not because you look unique and cool. fucking weirdo
