Seen it before, thought it was pretty cool, who are you to tell someone what they can and cant do to their own pet

But seriously, sooner or later someone is gonna turn up and argue that, for example, declawing a cat is a more extreme and vain thing to do, because it leaves them almost completely defenseless.. as opposed to a cool chest piece lol

De-clawing is inhumane because it involves cutting their toe off at the first knuckle (i.e. imagine someone cutting your nails by chopping off the entire top of each of your fingers).

The tattoo isn't even that great, the face looks like some snot nosed almost cross eyed idiot.
The face on the mask looks like this:

not this

IrishHalo - I didnt say declawing was a good thing, I just think in this case its a case of double standards. People can have their cat declawed for their own protection, yet leave the cat in the wild and it will have little or no chance at survival. Whereas the cat with a tattoo will be hampered how? Maybe it wont find a partner as easily because of the strange marks on its chest, but it wont go hungry.

Nobody said the cat would be hampered.

It's cruel to put a cat through the pain of getting a tattoo done, as the animal cannot make the choice, cannot say no, and cannot say stop.

If you cannot see that, then I hope that you never have a pet.

wow, i obviously missed a lot here! kinda missed out on the argument but all i'm saying is that i think tattooing that cat is fcuking horrible. i can't handle the pain of tattoos half the time so imagine what it's like for a cat that didn't even have a choice in the matter?

I dont the attraction for people!! Pets are for companionship not for a show piece! This is disgusting. Poor little thing The owner and artist are obviously known now and i strongly feel that they should be reprimanded made an example of.

:mad: I saw this picture on google images before and just assumed (and hoped) it was fake and photoshopped. Seriously makes me sick that anybody would inflict that on an animal

B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S! WHY anybody would want to do that to their or somebody else's cat is beyond me. The ''artist'' should be hung!

unfortunately its a bit more common to do on pigs as they have more suitable skin apparently

that's sick.....

i understand that pig skin is very similar to human skin and that's why it's used to practice tattooing, but that's usually on a dead pig! that's fcuking horrible
