If you’re thinking of getting a Golden Retriever tattoo, you probably share a home with this outgoing and cheerful puppy. Goldies have wonderful personalities and there’s no way you won’t fall in love with them. They’re that precious.
When you’re looking to get a tattoo in honor of your canine friend, you may feel lost among the number of options. To make it easier, we’ve made a list of some of the best designs we could find that celebrate your Golden Retriever in the best way possible.
1. Goldie is love
This is such a simple way to honor your dog. A heart shape with a tail and your canine’s face will make your heart melt each time you look at your tattoo.
2. Realistic Golden Retriever
If you love realistic black and gray tattoos then this is the way to go. Wear your pup’s face on your body and show everyone just how amazing of a dog you have.
3. Sketch-style Goldie
Sketch-style tattoos are so cool and unique but just make sure to find a tattoo artist who is skilled at this technique. That way, you can be sure that you’ll end up with an amazing tattoo that will steal everyone’s attention.
4. Fine-line tattoo
You can also opt for a fine-line design such as this one if you’re looking for a more subtle tattoo. Place it on any part of the body you want and enjoy looking at your puppy’s face even when you’re not home.
5. Minimalistic dog tattoo
Minimalistic tattoos are a common choice for people who want an easy way to cover their skin decoration for different reasons. If you’re one of them or simply love this style, then you should consider a design such as this one.
6. Watercolor-style tattoo
When it comes to Golden Retrievers, you can’t go wrong with getting their face tattooed on your body. These canine friends are so cheerful and will brighten up even the darkest days. To make your new tattoo more vibrant, opt for a watercolor-style background that will make the whole design pop.
7. Simple outline
When you wish to keep things simple, you can easily get an outline of your Goldie as a way to celebrate his presence in your life. A tattoo such as this one is a classic choice among those who don’t prefer complicated ink.
8. Paw-shaped face
Even though all of these tattoos are beautiful in their own ways, this one has to be our favorite. It’s such a clever idea to get your pup’s face in the shape of a paw but what makes this design even better is all the detail work. Wow!
9. Polaroid photo
If you have a favorite photo of your Golden Retriever, you can always turn it into a lasting memory by engraving it on your skin. The final result is going to look something like this and we’re sure your dog is going to love it.
10. Happy face
Portray your doggy in its full glory by getting a tattoo of his happy face. Goldies are such nice dogs and if they were humans, they would be those people who always wear a smile on their faces.
11. Simple Goldie tattoo
This is another simple but playful design that shows the real nature of your canine friend. We’re sure that your Golden Retriever loves to play with you (and literally anyone else) which is exactly what this tattoo shows.
12. Goldie with a name
A nice way to spice up your standard tattoo of a dog’s face is to get its name underneath it. This way, you’ll end up with a personalized tattoo that’s made just for your puppy.
13. Half and half
If you’re looking for a more artistic tattoo then this is the way to go. Cover half of your dog’s face with flowers and just like that, you’ll get a pretty ink you’ll be proud to wear.
14. Clean lines and a canine
Bigger tattoos can be delicate and elegant and this design proves it. Use a one-line stroke to get an outline of your puppy’s face and some flowers around it. You can also add other elements if you wish to.
15. High five
This is another cool idea, especially if your Goldie knows this trick. You can use this tattoo to brag just how smart your dog is. (Don’t we all do that?)
16. Adorable Retriever
Let’s be honest. Your dog is adorable so you want to get a tattoo that’s going to be equally as cute. And we’re pretty sure that this one ticks all the boxes.
17. Portrait of a dog
Okay, we love this tattoo and truly believe that your puppy is going to love it too. He may be a bit confused in the beginning about seeing his face on your skin, but when he gives you a lick of approval, you can be sure that he’s into it.
18. The coolest dog in the hood
Golden Retrievers are cool but you can make your one even cooler by getting this tattoo to celebrate him. Who could resist a puppy on the skateboard? We know that we couldn’t for sure.
19. Puppy and kitty
If you have a Goldie and a kitty, you can easily get a tattoo that includes both of them. This design shows one of the possibilities of how you can do that.
20. Best furry friends
On the other hand, if you have two canine friends, then this is something you can ink on your skin. We’re sure that you already have an adorable photo of your two puppies so just make sure to bring it to the tattoo artist and let him do his magic.
