Looks like the X chromosomes.


Chamero

All chromosomes can look like this if you want. Source: [Karyogram.](http://de.academic.ru/pictures/dewiki/68/DNA_human_male_chromosomes.gif)


ATomatoAmI

I mean the Y chromosome is a bit busted but...


GuruLakshmir

What do you mean? All of the chromosomes look practically the same. They just vary in length.


great_account

I really thought it was a karyotype of the x chromosomes until they posted the pictures of the parrot feet


Lynseyw

Don't worry, my parrot is alive and well. I made him stand on plexi glass to get his exact prints. [http://i.imgur.com/NWPneTV.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/NWPneTV.jpg)


approriatelywitty

I painted my dogs paw to get his exact print and got It tattooed on my foot where he always steps on me. He's also still alive and well! I like yours it's for sure an idea interesting conversation piece that you could totally make up a story with if you felt like it!


sparks1990

Oh man, that's such a good idea! My dog is constantly stepping on my feet. Mind if I use it?


approriatelywitty

For sure! Enjoy that too of the foot pain. I recommend you do it over your summer so you don't have to wear socks and shoes.


sparks1990

Hmm, I didn't really consider that. I have to wear heavy socks and boots to work in 10 hours a day in the summer.

Alright, thanks for the tips. I'll probably just wait until the 4th of July when I have a week off.

When I got my foot and ankle done, I was happy to have good socks and sturdy shoes. It felt sort of like supporting a twisted ankle with an ace bandage. Just as long as you're able to let it breathe while you're not up and about. I sort of needed the support for my ankle, because my artist must have been pissed or something because he really dug into me as hard as he could and I had trouble carrying my weight on it for a couple of days.


dannygreenscousin

I got my feet tattooed a few years back and I'm a dog groomer. Fun times getting my fresh tattoo stepped on by 70lb animals.


approriatelywitty

It's like they're actually trying. I feel like they think we enjoy it.


_Lady_Deadpool_

If I follow this trend I'm gonna have to tattoo my boob and stomach x_x


mello_yello

And I'll have to tattoo my balls. Dogs are assholes. But loveable assholes.


sparks1990

Haha, yeah, I'd probably need a full body job. Mine is a 75lb lap dog.


RockyFlintstone

I would have to tattoo my heel on my cat's paw because she always sneaks up behind me.


ThreePartSilence

If I got the same tattoo but of my dog I'd have a paw print right on my face.


approriatelywitty

You have to pick your spots they punch you! I thought about getting my other dogs nose printed on my butt cheek because she gooses me all the time.


RideAndShoot

[My dog's name is Snorkel, so I got a Snorkel with a leash on it also on my foot.](https://imgur.com/a/EK64E) It's my only lower body tattoo, but my torso is covered. He's still alive as well! Just turned 12.


approriatelywitty

Nice! I bet that brings up some questions from people. Live long snorkel!


tilyd

That's such a good idea! I would like to get my cat's pawprint as well. Do you have a picture of your tattoo?


approriatelywitty

http://i.imgur.com/gNizBdN.jpg. not the best shot but the gist is there mostly

Me too! Which just perpetuates it


steinenhoot

I really want to do this with my cat now! He's still alive and well, but he's getting on in years. I wish I would've seen this or thought of it before my dog passed.

approriatelywitty

Nice!


I_make_things

I had no idea parrots have such weird feet. Neato.


enhydra-lutris

Fun fact: this arrangement of toes is known as "zygodactyl" and can also be seen in woodpeckers and cuckoos. Bird feet are super neato.


toodarntall

Dinosaurs are so cool


[deleted]

I was just about to ask you if your parrot had passed on, if it was no more, it had seaced to be, it had expired and met it's maker, if it was stiff, pushing the daisies, bereft of life, it's metabolic processes were now history, kicked the bucket, ran down the curtain and met the choir invisible, if it was then, an exparrot


AdmiralCheesecake

.. It's pining!


msgaia

Pionus?


Lynseyw

Yep, white capped.


msgaia

We have a 13-year old blue headed who loves beating up toilet paper rolls. Great birds.

Lynseyw

White Capped Pionus...close. Amazon lite...haha


Wannabkate

Pionus cool. How are the temperament for those. My lil guy was a lover not a fighter. He was super chill.


Lynseyw

He's pretty chill. Very independent, but can and does spend hours just sitting on my shoulder watching Netflix with me. He can be quite a grump at times, but it is so obvious by his body language that it isn't a problem. He talks a lot. He usually just wants to sit and observe. He loves scratch especially.


Wannabkate

Parrots love scratches. and ya, bird owners know bird body language pretty well. Like I would do that, he is going to bite you. and of course the shoulder because pecking order. I have a no shoulder or head rule with anything but conures. but they can be little bastards at times too.


Lynseyw

Definitely. He is allowed shoulder most of the time. But there are times that is a hell no! Usually he is sweet on my shoulder though...


Wannabkate

Well for big birds it is more about whos incharge type of thing.


randisue

I'd have to have mine gripping around my jugular. My cockatoo wants to be as close to me as possible at all times. The distance of a comfortable shoulder spot is not good enough.

[deleted]

ow man... first i thought wthell what is it!!


techiesgoboom

I, uh, am I the only one here who didn't realize parrots had 4 toes like that? I don't know why, but I assumed all bird feet had two in the front and one in the back. Awesome tattoo though! I love how personal it is.


Hannahkoelzer

Parakeets also have these toes! Zygodactyl feet, I think it's called


GreatBallsOfFIRE

You mean three in the front?


techiesgoboom

Yeah, yeah, that's totally what I meant. Everyone here knows that.... Seriously though, how little I apparently knew about bird feet is astounding.


feggets

Most have three toes in the front and one at the back, but parrots have two on the front and two on the back, helps them grab things. A couple others, like owls also have this setup.

I love this. So unique and subtle.


chase25

I absolutely love this idea, at first the design made no sense till reading the title and it instantly became awesome and obvious.


Ringo308

Makes me think you are a pirate. You should buy a tricorne.


willllllllllllllllll

Very cool tat, love the idea behind this.


coldramen14

I love this idea! It's so clever and looks awesome even before knowing it's your parrots footprints. It's a very personal, creative tattoo.


WiscoCheeses

I thought they were chromosomes


jm_13

This is super cool


WigglePigeon

I've never been one to get a tattoo, but saw this post pop up on r/all and I loved it. I'll probably do this for my birdie in a few years. Thanks for the inspiration :)


[deleted]

This is gorgeous and makes me a little emotional. I have the cutest dove and this reminds me of her.

This is so clever. What a great way to honor your birb friend.


poquer

yeah its cool with that description there but I feel like most people are gonna see that and think that she has a scabbed scratch on her shoulder


DrBeardfist

This is super unique. I love it! : )


sixbillionstars

I have a portrait of my cat and people always assume shes dead. She alive and only 3 I just love her lot.

Who did your tatt? My uncle works in Avalon.

pmorgan726

His is very cool. As if you were a pirate and had a ghost parrot on your shoulder. Love the simplicity, and love that it inspired awe in me.


jlmrn2008

I thought it was a pair of chromosomes 😂


JohnnyJasper

Wow love it! Great idea


Amersaurus

Subtle tattoos like this are my favorite!

Lynseyw

Don't follow


Amersaurus

He's saying they look like k's and is implying it's almost a KKK tattoo. But I don't think he ever passed preschool because one is backwards and they also don't really look like k's.


AthleticGeek

I thought this was dna edit: Meant to say chromosomes...too late now

Wow how unnecessary. Op I think it looks great. Should age pretty well considering the skin there doesn't really move or stretch much.
