I haven't posted in quite a while, but I did post back in the spring
asking if anyone knew how to get a good print of a ferret's paw as I
wanted to get my ferret's prints tattooed.  I got a couple responses,
but one individual had ferret paw prints tattooed on her foot.  I lost
her email address and I don't remember her name, but thanks again.  I
finally went through with it and got my little girl's prints done on my
chest....right above my heart as she will always have a piece of it.
Amber is 8 years old now with adrenal and insulinoma.  I am not sure how
much longer I have with her, but her little footprints will be with me
forever.  You can see them (though the pic is a tad blurry) at

I also got a tattoo of a ferret last summer and never got around to
posting it, so if anyone wants to see that one, it is at

That particular tattoo wasn't of one of my own ferrets as I got it done
while vacationing in New Hampshire and did not have any ferret pictures
with me, but I found a fine line artist, adn I bought a ferret book and
showed her 3 different pictures...one for coloring, one for pose, and
one for the tail.  I think she did a really good job for someone who had
never done a ferret before.  The picture makes it look really yellow, but
it isn't that yellow in person.
 
So if anyone is wondering how I got the prints, it was with a non-toxic
ink pad and a lot of paper...it was a challenge getting a really clear
print...and I washed her paws thoroughly with soapy water to get rid of
any remnants.  I had the same tattoo artist do the paws that did the
ferret on my leg last summer.
