60+ Stylish Dachshund Tattoos That’ll Make You Smile
The trendiest and most stylish Dachshund tattoos to get ideas from!
We all know and love them, the Dachshunds are cute and small pets, with lovably large personalities. These sausage-shaped cuties are known for being devoted to their owners, as they were bred to hunt small animals such as rabbits and rodents.
Most Dachshund owners prefer this breed due to the fact that they are on the smaller side. Known as the Weiner dog, Dachshunds have an unmistakable build to their body, giving them a long, narrow build with short stubby legs, perfect for anyone who does not want a larger dog. With their true personalities, Dachshund owners find that these little furry friends are the perfect cuddle buddies.
Now that Dachshunds aren’t used for hunting, but rather adored pets, some owners will find themselves wanting to commemorate their 4-legged friend in any way that they can. Some people will get pictures drawn of their pet, others will get their paws imprinted in cement. On that same trend, some will get tattoos of their forever friends as well.
Dachshund tattoos are perfect because they memorialize the cute looks of the breed. Plus, Dachshunds are also small in size, so there is no need to commit to a large tattoo if that’s not your style. Regardless of your reasoning, a Dachshund tattoo makes for a cute addition to your body, while also having a really great meaning behind it.
We have a few different Weiner dog tattoo styles that are sure to pique your interest and warm your heart. You mean the world to your furry friend, why not show them how much they mean to you?
