Robyn Moscrop (27), grew up with bull terriers, then three years ago decided to adopt one and named him Bronson.
Bronson unexpectedly passed away last July at the young age of three.
In honour of her pooch, Moscrop decided to get a tattoo of Bronson... using his ashes!

The video above shows how she used her dog's ashes to contribute towards her tattoo.
This idea behind the ink started when a woman working at the crematorium told her she could use his ashes in a tattoo.

Moscrop then asked her boyfriend George Ricketts, who is a tattoo artist, to give her a tattoo with Bronson's ashes mixed into the ink.
It may have taken him eight hours to get the tattoo right, but the final result looks perfect.
The tattoo has helped Moscrop grieve.
"Sometimes I talk to (the tattoo itself) as though I talk to my Bronson," says Moscrop in an interview with the New York Post.

Her tattoo may seem strange, but a lot of people are doing a lot of creative things with ashes nowadays.
According to Up Worthy, you can have them pressed into vinyl records, turned into glass art or even use them as part of a memorial fireworks display.
