After one of our dogs died, my wife and I were devastated. I wanted to keep our dog's memory alive by gifting my wife a pendant with our dog's image on it. I found a company online that makes these kinds of pendants and sent them a picture of our beloved dog. It took a while, but the pendant finally arrived. I was very excited for my wife to see it, but when we opened the box, we were let down by the quality of the product. It seems like they just crudely cropped the dog's image out of the picture and let a machine engrave it on a piece of metal. It was very disappointing.

Well, this tattoo artist named Ria Kim, hailing from Seoul, Korea, seems to understand how important the memory of a pet is, since her tattoos are amazing—not only in terms of capturing the likeness of the pet, but also in the artistry itself, which pays respect to the special connection between a pet and its owner.
