My airing of getting tattooed on an L.A. Ink episode

Here I am (yes, it's really me) getting my cat Buddy's portrait tattooed by Kat Von D on the fifth episode entitled "Master Cleanse". It was a lot of fun and Kat is a super sweet heart.

UPDATE: On 2/14/08 Buddy my cat lost his battle with cancer and has gone on to a better place. Having his face tattooed on my leg is the best memorial I could ever ask for. Sadness is a word that can't even come close to describing how I feel about this huge loss in my life.

Sorry to hear that about your cat, how old was he? My little boy is turning 20 this Feb. I can't believe it. I've had him for over 17 years. I've had to nurse him back from 2 very close calls. My vet showed me how to give him IV fluids every other day at home, instead of me bringing him to the vet every other day costing me a lot of cash. Besides him going a little deaf and his pickiness with his food he is doing really good for and old man. Cats are awsome! I hope you got yourself another one

Buddy was about 11 or 12 (he was a rescue) so not sure but I had him for around 10 years or so. Didn't get another cat... did something new and got a dog. Her face gets tattooed on me in a few months ;)

Such an amazing tattoo!! I'm really sorry about your cat Buddy, I just lost my cat Dallas last week and am really upset, me and him were so close. Now I really want to get a tattoo of him to always have him with me since he is no longer here.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's like losing a member of the family!

That is so awesome. One of the single best episode clips i've ever seen! Please tell me your sweet Buddy is still alive? You know what Buddy is thinking because you bonded with him and are very attentive to his needs. You're tuned into him. Some people have cats who end up just being wall flowers because their owner merely feeds and pets them. They really miss out on what you and i have experienced. Cats are amazing creatures. I'm so happy for you and Buddy. Thanks for sharing this! :)

We get joy from each person or animal that comes into our lives and most times, we love our pets just like our children.

Getting my wife? Yeah right. My kids and animals will never leave me... can't say as much for a woman.
