The anthropomorphic animals from the Disney universe hold a dear place in so many of our hearts, but they also share that special place with the pets in our lives. Not only can Nikki Rex transform a photograph of your pet into a Disneyfied portrait, but she can then tattoo it onto your body.
Nikki is co-owner of The Hideaway Tattoo in San Diego, California with Melvin Arizmendi. If you were to scroll through Instagram and see her tattoos, you honestly wouldn’t think twice that these animals weren’t part of some existing animated Disney production – she has certainly nailed the Disney style.
If a Disneyfied pet portrait sounds like something you need to add to your tattoo collection then look no further than Nikki. Nikki’s eye for combining the striking features of her client’s pets with the classic illustrative style of 20th century Disney animation is second to none.
Once you’ve found (or taken) the perfect photo of your pooch (or kitty), get to thinking about other stylistic elements you may wish to add to your tattoo. You can request more stylistic elements from a specific Disney release, or stay true to your pet and Disneyfy as much as possible from the photograph.
If you’re a true Disney fan you’re sure to love these beautiful and sentimental tattoos by Nikki Rex.
