Tattoos would be all but useless on fuzzy creatures... except for hairless cats! ;)

You do realize that by saying that, you will incite a flood of comments containing many different speculations on outlandish methods of preforming tattoos on fuzzy creatures.
I love the picture, he's adorable.

Oh rubbish. Everyone knows you can see right through to a tattoo on the skin on a thick and rugged fluffy as all hell character! *sarcasm*
People simply can't admit that there's a difference between dye jobs and tattoos is the problem. It has to be a tattoo because that's the painful difference between being a trendy sissy and a rough-around-the-edges hurt-me type.

You'd actually be reasonably hardcore to get tattoos under fur and then *shave* around them sp they're visible. Hmm!
Personally, I like the idea of a tattooo on a hidden area.
Like, tatooing a treasure map on your head, and hiding it with hair.
Or, maybe secret tribal or religious figures that could get you into a mess if they were to be seen by select others.

Tattoos of porn?
Like the biker gangs!
Because we all know, when you're on the road and make a stop at the 7-11, you forgot to bring your "reading" material, you can just roll up your sleeve and eye ol' (Insert raunchy name here) to satisfy your needs.
But, if its hidden under fur....that kind of defeats the purpose

I think in the furry world tattoos are really just permanently dyed fur.
But that's because I have far too much time to think about things like that, I'm afraid.

that wouldn't make sense because hair grows and falls out a lot, so the tats would never really be permanent anyway. plus if you tried to dye a chunk of fur into a pattern it would probably end up looking like a blob.
but oh wait this is the furry world so logic does not matter, nm :*)

Now, do one of them ugly-ass sphynx cats, with all the winkles and stray tuffs of fur!
LOVE the values in this.

Well, isn't the sphynx cat the only hairless cat breed? And the only hair a sphynx has is just the babysoft peachfuzz (almost like on a human's face) and the whiskers. I think...
I suppose this would be a very un-wrinklely sphynx boy. He's cute with his golden eyes. I don't think I see enough anthro cats with golden eyes, isn't it a more common eye color with cats?
Great job!

I really love this, I'm a fan of hairless cats and this is such an awsome anthro rendition of one. Your anatomy os wonderful.
Excellent anatomy, but what I really like about this is the gleefull childish look on his face. ^^
this is awesome :3 more people need to draw hairless kitties. because they are the best cats evar.
his face reminds me of my hairless kitty :3 i swear he really smiles like that sometimes.

Okay, that's the most awesome ever. I love hairless cats. They're so bizzare looking. His ears seem kind of small for the Sphinx breed, but the piercings and BUTTERFLY make up for it.
And people think I'm crazy for liking hairless cats. ;_; I love the sort of glittering effect given to the musculature. It reminds me of the light of water reflecting on a cave wall and makes me jealous for markers. :3 Wonderful lighting, The hardass look combined with the love for butterflies is just awesome - lol
Didnt we once discuss furry tattoo's visible through fur would have to be like.. hair plugs, but hair of a differnet pigment?
I think thats the only way that would honestly work. hahahaha

You know, as silly as that sounds, that's the most logical explanation I've heard given for it so far O.o
More often than not I've seen amazing artists put tatts on their characters. How are the tatts seen through the fur? They just are, or they're permanent dye jobs. The they just are approach makes me wanna smack them while the permanent dye job has me wondering how that works since nine times out of ten it's an animal who sheds. Do they redye it every time? What if it's not a uniform shedding, which it normally isn't? Wouldn't that get to be far more trouble than it's worth? Then again, I'm the sort of girl who never bothers with make-up *shrugs*
But yeah, anyway.
Loooove this pic. The lighting is great, the angle is fun, and his expression really shows through his innerchild :3

oh dude Amara.
how do you get your shadows to look so dark? I have such a hard time getting my tria colorings dark and saturate.

Not a huge fan of the hairless cats, in general, but LOVIN' this pic... [[nods]]
They could use a special dye that would dye the flesh too. XD
No, this is awesome. I love hairless cats!

I too have thought of the the tattoos on fur dilema awhile back and was different theoretical ways of accomplishing the task of putting permanent tattoos on fur. The main idea I kicked around was if furrie chemists were to created dyes that when tattooed into the skin, altered the skin and hair folicle DNA therefore permanently leaving the skin and hair that a particular desired color or colors. Granted that it would still probably be blurry and could possibly give you cancer, but hey at least you'd have your tattoo right?
Hee-hee but then again that's why most of my chars are hairless(human type skin) or mostly hairless. I also have a Hairless cat char who ironicly is a tattoo artist and has most of his body tattooed and pierced. Thank you for drawing this wonderful pic! It's so nice to see more hairless cat chars cuz there aren't that many around.

Well, if you wanna go the interesting science fiction route lol.
Yeah, I'm a fan of hairless cats m'self, and have a soft spot in my heart for them. Would looooove to see a rendition of yours some day. He sounds like fun!

I drew only one completed picture of him years and years ago but it was stolen which really bummed me out.
Ouch, I think that'd bum anyone out. A shame you only drew him once, but even more so that he was stolen.
Yeah and he had really intricate tattoos all over his body so'd I'd have to re design everything.
>.< Oh man, that's harsh. I really hope you can find the motivation to do so though. At least someday, maybe.
I love how this is done!
even though he is one of thoose furless cats he is smiling to it can be hard to tell if he is either a cheshire cat or a normal furless cat.
also this cat kinda reminds me of another character created by another artist.

Absolutely beautiful. I love hairless cats, and they would definately have an advantage if furries ever were real. He looks so peaceful, even for a sneaky little kitty..
The colouring, shading, anatomy... Everything about this is perfect!
And bonus points for tatooed hairless cats!

the texture and lighting are amazing, anatomy is well done too
Squee! Amazing and wonderful and overall just awesome! I have a hairless cat.. demon.. character thing that I can never do justice.. and this just sorely reminds me of how I'd like to be able to draw but can't. XD Haha, but seriously, this is just a joy to the eyes.
eeeeeeeee
I love this. His facial expression is sew sew cute and the anatomy/musculature is fantastic.
Also, you don't see enough hairless-breed anthros.
As for furry tattoos, my soultion was to cauterize the skin and burn away the hair to make a design, kinda like a farmer will brand cattle. If the person getting the brand wants color, the scar tissue can be tattooed over. Or they could also do heavy chemical scarification, or have the fur permenately removed with a laser (like laser hair removal), or even have an entire area of skin removed.

Someone mirrored this on the Yiffstar forums for clean artwork, and it really caught my eye. I know it's an old submission, but I love it so much I had to comment and fave it.
heheee i always thought so to ^^-;
unless they 'stencil dye' themselves X'S

I'm a tattooist and one way to permanently dye the hair is to freeze burn like branding used on stock animals. It burns the skin and when the hair grows back in it is permanently white because the hair loses pigmentation. It would hurt just as much as a tattoo just it would be quiker during aplication.
Ooo now I'm curious. So the burning wouldn't kill off the follicle? The hair seriously does grow back white?
This might be a loophole I can seriously run with. Obviously the design would still be blurry since you have to take into account how the fur will lay against the body and the fur getting mussed and etc, but still a really neat idea.

yeah but could really work look up animal freeze burning identification
Sorry for the VERY BELATED fav. I came across this and just loved him, and how it's an anthro with tattoos that MAKES SENSE. He's a cutie, so I guess that helps. :P
