In this episode, we discuss animal-themed tattoo narratives, which were the subject of co-host Kris Hill’s MA Dissertation (Anthrozoology, University of Exeter, 2018). The findings were subsequently written up and published as two papers in Anthrozoös (Hill 2020, 2021). 
In our discussion, we primarily focused on the first paper (Hill 2020), which explored tattoos dedicated to individual companion animals under the framework of multispecies kinship and continuing bonds as griefwork. 
Do you have tattoos dedicated to companion animal? If so, we’d love to see them! Feel free to join and share your tattoos and stories in the Furever Tattoos Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/630586010988899
