A new trend has taken hold among pet owners in New York.
Cat tattoos - or 'cattoos' as they're affectionately being called - are the latest way to get an indelible memorial of a feline friend on your arm or other body part.
The cattoos are etched in vivid color and attempt to be a life-like representation of your cat.
It's proving particularly popular among pet owners whose pets are deceased and want a way to keep their memory alive.
At Westchester County Tattoo convention enthusiasts opted for cattoos instead of more traditional tribal symbols or Chinese designs.
