Maneki Googie

I wanted to get a maneki neko cat tattoo for a long time. I had planned to use Googie as the model because he looked right for the part. So when I read about a tattoo artist who was trying to raise money to pay for life saving surgery for his pit bull, I decided the time was right. The traditional maneki neko cat has a medallion on his collar that says happiness. The coin he holds usually refers to lots of money. I had already decided I wanted to change what was on the coin and then when Googie died I decided that I wanted to have it say in memory.
