A heart pierced by an arrow and two names, Alex and Mel. This is the cupid-style tattoo that Brooklyn tattoo artist Alexander Avgerakis, who calls himself “Metro Mistah”, reserved for his dog. The man decided to carry out the work while the animal was under the effects of anesthesia to which he had been subjected for surgery to the spleen.
When the photo, which portrays the Shaved shoulder of the pit bull mix, whose name is Sion, ends up on Instagram, animal lovers get mad. Some of the comments read: “He is disgusting. How could you do this to a poor dog? “,“ Too bad the dog can't talk ”,“ I hope you rot in jail! “. Metro does not respond to any comments and disappears from the web.
Defending it in the newspapers was Chris Torres, the owner of the tattoo shop where Avgerakis works, the Red Legged Devil Tattoo Shop, which became famous after participating in the reality show NY Ink.
“It wasn't done in my shop. I am an animal lover. The boy is not bad. He doesn't mistreat animals. He doesn't beat them, he doesn't tie them out in the cold. He didn't think well about what he did. He went in and grabbed his tools. He said his dog was at the vet and he was going to give him a tattoo. We all laughed and he left ", explains the employer.
Torres, like many other Metro friends, are keen to emphasize how much the tattoo artist loves his dog. In the US, tattooing dogs is not illegal. F.bears must have been a "stunt", maybe it won't be outlawed, but how ethical can it be to tattoo your pet just to satisfy a selfish desire, with no regard for the animal's well-being? Meanwhile Avgerakis, precisely because of the indignation created by his gesture, he would quit .
