A North Carolina man has created huge controversy among animal lovers after tattooing Duchess - his own pet dog.

Ernesto Rodriguez, who is a tattoo artist and Army veteran, inked the 5-month-old purebred American Pit Bull on the underbelly at his basement parlor in Pinnacle, NC, on Wednesday.

When Rodriguez posted pictures of the emblem on Facebook he received fierce criticism from all over the U.S. But the man claims the tattoo can be used for identification and compares it to branding farm animals

Poor pup.

too bad he didn’t shave dogs rear and teach him to walk backwards so everyone could say look twins

My little purebred Yorkie arrived from the breeder with an identification tattoo and a chip. Poor baby.

Tattooing your livestock makes a lot more sense than tattooing your own body.

Lets hope Duchess doesn’t have pups or those tats will sag...

[dainbramaged]

Duchess probably laid on her back and wagged her tail during the inking. Not that it makes any sense, though.

[bigheadfred]

what is the difference between people with all those tats and livestock i don’t even try to go to a walmart with out a hotshot

Damn I bet they really get worked up when a rancher brands his cattle, castrates the males, splits/crops the ears for marking, dehorns, etc.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

Oink!

ID is a good practice for pets that can get lost.

For personal vanity, not so much.

It’s too bad he didn’t tattoo a fighting Marine
on his belly.....kind of reverse humor lots
of Marines have fighting Bull dog tattoos.

Ooorah, arf arf!

[Daffynition]

Not that I'd get a tatt....but would you get one from someone who operates out of their basement?

A vet speaks up: Is it OK to Tattoo Your Dog?

[Daffynition]

Ooorah! Devil Dogs!

Gen_1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Its his dog.
