Client Insists on Tattooing "Strange Lines"; Tattoo Artist Realizes After Seeing Reference Photo

Have you ever read the French classic "The Little Prince" or seen its animation? There's a memorable part where a child draws a boa constrictor that has swallowed an elephant, but adults only see a hat. This illustrates how different perspectives can yield vastly different interpretations.

In Montreal, tattoo artist Lizzy del Bosque faced a similar situation when a client requested a peculiar tattoo of a strange-looking caterpillar. Initially puzzled by the request, Lizzy felt compelled to fulfill it despite not understanding its meaning. The breakthrough came when the client presented a reference image, revealing that the odd caterpillar design symbolized the teeth of her pet bulldog.

Lizzy expressed her relief upon understanding: "Once she explained it to me, everything made much more sense. The client wanted an original tattoo that would instantly remind her of her dog! It's super cool! After all, most people wouldn't think of getting a row of dog teeth tattooed on their body!"

After completing the tattoo, Lizzy shared photos of the finished work alongside pictures of the dog's actual teeth on social media, receiving enthusiastic praise from followers. "I received hundreds of comments saying how adorable this tattoo is!" she noted.

This unique tooth tattoo may have initially seemed perplexing, but understanding its significance revealed the owner's deep affection for her dog. The backstory transformed this unusual tattoo into something truly special and cherished.
