Did you know that the word, “tattoo,” is derived from the Polynesian language, and specifically from the word, “tatau” which means “to tap or to mark?”  We mention this because we realized (too late) that last Friday, July 17th, was National Tattoo Day.

The Purebred of Interest feature we conduct on our Facebook page nearly every week out of the year have taught us two things: A lot more people have tattoos than we might think, and a whole lot of them are of dogs.

The stunning tattoo seen here was shared by the owner of a Chihuahua when that breed was our purebred of Interest. Show us your dog tattoo!
