Tattoo artist sparks outrage after he inks tat on his seated dog

Man Tattoos Love Tat on His Dog – Sparks Backlash

Brooklyn, New York – Mistah Metro, a self-described tattoo master, meant to put his skills on display when he uploaded a photograph of his dog Zion getting a tattoo. However, the reaction by people hasn’t been kind as they consider him as literally having “screwed the pooch”. In the infamous Instagram picture, his dog is seen lying on its side sedated. One of its eyes can be seen wide open and glazed. It tongue sticking out as would be expected of a road kill. The shoulder of its front right leg was shaved giving sufficient room for a sizable heart with an arrow going through it. Wrapped around the heart are two ribbons featuring the names Alex and Mel.

It probably would have been better to feature the tattoo on his own arm, but to sedate his own dog and tattoo it did not sit well with animal lovers. The tattoo was not administered at the Red Legged Devil parlor where Mistah works. The owner has made it clear his venue was not the site of the tasteless tat. He also says he had no prior knowledge of it. It will be interesting to see how the tat looks once Zion’s hair has grown back over it.
