Paw print in a heart - temporary tattoo

This minimalist paw print nestled inside a heart outline combines animal symbolism with love iconography in a compact design. The 5x5cm format (roughly cotopads-sized) blends two meaningful symbols into one cohesive tattoo without visual clutter.

The design uses clean line work to create both shapes with equal weight—the paw print sits centered within the heart contour, creating balanced negative space. Unlike heavily detailed realistic paw prints, this graphic approach keeps the design readable at small scale and works well for those who want dual symbolism without complexity.

Our plant-based jagua ink penetrates the skin's surface layer for a matte, authentic finish, unlike synthetic transfer stickers that sit on top and create shine. This natural ink withstands water and daily friction, lasting 10 to 15 days compared to 3-5 days for typical temporary transfers.

This size works well on the forearm for visible placement, the shoulder blade for occasional reveal, or the ankle for warm-weather visibility. The compact dimensions also suit the inner wrist or calf if you prefer a more concealed spot.

Ideal for pet owners who want to represent their bond, animal lovers drawn to both heart and paw symbolism, or anyone testing this style before committing to permanent ink. The dual-symbol design appeals to those seeking meaningful imagery that combines affection with animal connection.
