Title: chinchilla tattoo
Post by: dianah on July 16, 2010, 01:37:20 PM
does anyone have a chin tattoo?

i've seen a picture of someone's on the internet and it was a paw print inside a heart - i quite like that but i have no idea how to go about getting a paw print from my little monkeys!

maybe! don't think i know anyone who knows what a chinchilla paw looks like though...

the picture that i saw, the guy said he inked and stamped his chin's foot ... how would you do that? mine wouldn't be keen, i think spock wouldn't mind that much (he's named spock because he's chilled out like a vulcan) but i'd be worried about using ink on their feet?

i keep beating myself up that i didn't get an impression of chinchi's foot when he died - i would love to have that permanently on me... but of course that didn't even occur to me then, i was hysterical.

Perhaps you could water down some non toxic finger paint, saturate a piece of paper towel with it, and place it so your little ones would run across it - and then a piece of printer paper - on the way to something else ( a raisin or dust bath?). Then you could rinse/wipe the little paws off with a moist towelette.
Just an idea, but this is how we got our puppy to do it, years ago. Good luck and let us see the results!

The more I learn the more I realize how little I know..... :D

That's a great idea. Their paw print would be so little. But it would be a cute tatoo.
