![]() While I promise I'll dive into the details and share plenty of close-ups ahead, you may be wondering - just out of curiosity, or for a personal tattoo of your own down the line - how Trudy drew up such a realistic portrait of Trish's paw. No matter what I'm doing whatever project of the day I'm hyperfocused on, I always stop to give her my full attention - and I'm a Type A person, so that's saying a lot.īut why am I trying so hard to convince you that my relationship with my cat is solid enough to justify a permanent paw print on my arm? I know it is! So when Trudy agreed to tattoo me, I took all the necessary precautions and booked an exclusive appointment with her. Every time I turn around, Trish is right at my heels, sometimes clawing at them, but never hard, trying to get me to play with her.

Maybe for some people, paw prints are not tattoo material. I love tattoos, but tattoos are art, so everyone has their own opinion about what looks nice. A little more than three years later, I was DMing Trudy Lines, who's an extremely talented artist at Bang Bang in New York City, begging her to ink Trish's paw print onto my arm. When my future husband adopted her as a surprise gift, plopping her in my lap on Christmas morning (I'm sure he was trying to think of anything that would distract me from my own all-consuming thoughts), we became inseparable. Trish the Tabby came into my life at a time when I was suffering from severe anxiety and debilitating panic attacks that disrupted entire days at a time. But maybe if you have a cat, or any pet for that matter, you'll hear me out.
