Alex’s Foo Dog Elbow Tattoo

I tattooed this foo dog on Alex’s elbow, squeezing it in between his other tattoos.

Alex is a tattooist in Wool, Dorset. I went to his studio and tattooed him there. We had a nice afternoon.

    I am planning to get a lion-dog tattoo to balance my back as I have a large koi already. None of the designs I have found so far have been quite right but this is near perfect!!!! I know it is cheeky but any chance of more photos?

    I think these dogs look awesome! I prefer tigers to be included on sleeves but this still looks brilliant!
