Tattoo regret? PetSmart might pay to cover it up with your pet's portrait. Here's how.

That tattoo you rushed to get as soon as you turned 18 not looking so cool now? PetSmart, in partnership with Los Angeles-based Alium Tattoo Studio, is here to help you solve that problem.
According to a PetSmart survey, 49% of pet parents have or know someone who has experienced tattoo regret. Instead of paying for painful and costly laser removal or finding an expensive artist specializing in reworking existing art, the pet brand believes they've found a solution: pet portrait cover-ups.
The brand reported that 58% of the same pet parents who have tattoo regret said they don't think they'd regret getting a tattoo of their pet – pretty good odds, as far as PetSmart is concerned.

The pets in our lives are unyieldingly loyal to us their entire lives, said the company, why not immortalize our own loyalty to them on our bodies?
"We're celebrating all the foot – and paw – prints that our pets leave on our hearts and the love and loyalty their parents show them," said Bradley Breuer, vice president of loyalty and CRM at PetSmart, in a press release. "Tattoos are the ultimate form of loyalty, but we know that sometimes the thing you thought you'd want to commemorate forever turns out to be…not so forever. So, we're turning regrets into pets because we know you'll never regret a reminder of your pets' unconditional love."
