27 Glorious Tattoos For Anyone Who Loves Animals

Since we can't technically own a pet otter, we'll settle for a tattoo one.

Senior Editor, HuffPost Hawaii

If you regularly fall in love with passing strangers’ puppies or daydream about having an Eliza Thornberry-level connection with wildlife, it’s probably fair to say you’re obsessed with animals.

Unfortunately, you can’t bring your pets with you everywhere you go (sad, we know). But you can show your love for the animal kingdom in a more permanent way.

Whether you want to publicly declare your love of wildlife, memorialize a beloved pet or have a tiny reminder of the fluffier things in life, a tattoo can be the perfect way to give your love of animals a creative twist.

Below, 27 tattoos that will make any animal lover feel complete.
