I have a tattoo of my ferret Amelia's pawprint on my arm.  I got the
prints by mixing up a moderately thick mixture of non-toxic black acrylic
artist paint, painting one of Amelia's paws with it, and then letting her
walk around on a big piece of paper.  Using a brush to paint her paw pads
meant I got a much crisper image than if I had just dipped her paw in
paint, and clean up was certainly much easier!  A quick soapy rinse of
her paw was enough to wash off the paint.
 
I had Amelia make these prints when her insulinoma was getting quite
serious, and it was one of the best things I ever could have done.  Two
months after she passed away, I had her pawprint tattooed on me, and
now she steps with me wherever I go.
