Back to the design above, there’s a texture to the hair covering its head that appears as how it feels when you touch the dog in real life. How the fur covers the big, floppy ears is what really drives home the pragmatic design of this tattoo.
One of the best images of the collection is this black-and-white rendition of a charming and lovely Golden Retriever. The lines are distinct and impeccable, perfectly capturing this dog in either a moment of seeing its owner or just after running around.

This portrait is a perfect demarcation of a Golden Retriever pup ready to play. The frontal perspective shows the dog propped up as if on a chair arm or side of a box. Its panting is energetic and lively. This becomes even more endearing when observing the eyes, nose, and mouth. The composition and appearance of the figure bring joy and gentleness to the heart.
The precious little paws and legs make the image what it is.
