People often get tattoos in honor of those they have lost, whether it be a person or a pet. However, it's not as common for people to drop the ashes of their loved ones into the ink itself.

But that didn't stop TikTok user Robyn Moscrop from leveling up her commemorative ink with a little piece of her beloved dog named Bronson, who unexpectedly passed away last year, added to the ink that would be tattooed onto her skin forever. She even posted an emotional video showcasing the process.

Moscrop reportedly told South West News Service that she chose to add her canine companion's ashes into the tattoo ink because "having his ashes on me means that he’s always going to be with me, no matter what." She continued, "It’s not something I could lose or misplace, it’s always there. Seeing it when it was done was really emotional, I did have a cry."

Her tattoo artist boyfriend George Ricketts was the one who gave her the tattoo of a lifetime featuring Moscrop's favorite portrait of the beloved pet she lost. She even admitted that sometimes,

"Sometimes I talk to [my tattoo] as though I talk to him," she revealed. "It sounds silly, really, but sometimes when we’re at places, and say I’m just wearing a t-shirt, I just think, 'Oh, he’s here with me seeing all this, too.'"

Speaking about Ronson, Moscrop told SWNS, "He was a crazy dog. He made such an impression on everyone because he had such a personality," she said.
