Whether rain or shine, our pets are there for us, providing a comforting presence during good times and bad. It's therefore completely understandable why so many people choose to pay tribute to their furry best friends through body art. One dog lover decided to display her devotion to her pup, Millie, by having her baby teeth inked onto her arm, however, she didn't bank on the puzzled response she'd receive.
The woman, who also has Millie's fluffy face tattooed on her forearm, says people are often left a bit confused as to what meaningful tattoo actually depicts, with some assuming it's just a 'squiggly line'.
Taking to TikTok, where she goes by the username @handpaintedpinky, Millie's proud owner showed off a pic of the baby teeth tattoo in a vid filled with footage of the adorable pooch.
She revealed she has repeatedly been asked the frustrating question, 'What's that squiggly line on you arm?', with many people completely missing what the sweet, and uniquely personalised, tat actually represents.
The vid has since been liked more than 416.1k times and counting, with many people absolutely loving the unusual yet 'really cute' idea. Some have even been inspired to get a similar design for themselves, regardless of the confusion it might end up causing.
One fellow animal lover gushed: "Omg. My baby boy has the smallest little baby teeth ever, thank you for this idea."
Another approved: "Thank you for the idea, now I know what my next tattoo is going to be."
However, others could relate to getting a perplexing tattoo all too well, with a third person sighing: "Omg same girl. I got my dog's outline/silhouette and everyone's like 'are those headphones?'"
Explaining how the artwork was put together, the TikTok user revealed she'd sent a pic of Millie's teeth to the tattooist, who then created a stencil from a design they'd traced on their iPad.
