The reality TV star, Chrishell Stause, recently shared her experience with this unique and emotional practice. She revealed that she had her late dog, a French Bulldog named Peanut, cremated and had his ashes mixed into the ink for a tattoo. This decision was made after a difficult time in her life, and she felt it was a way to honor her beloved pet and keep his memory alive.
She explained that the tattoo is a symbol of a shared experience, a reminder of the journey they took together. The tattoo is not a guarantee of a lasting relationship, but rather a testament to the bond they shared. Mary’s explanation highlights the importance of context and intention behind the tattoo. It’s not about the physical act of getting the tattoo, but about the meaning it holds for the individuals involved.

If ur good as an animal owner then it’s like losing a child and deserves respect #SellingSunset pic.twitter.com/Z3UUyjE9mv — Mandy💕 (@Mandy_Loves_RHs) September 6, 2024 Jason and Mary first shared news of Niko’s passing in March. Jason shared a lengthy post expressing his heartbreak over the death. “With your unconditional love and loyalty, you comforted us when we cried and helped heal our hearts when they were broken. You lifted us in times of need and celebrated with us our wins and successes… You opened our eyes to depths we had no idea love can reach, taught us a higher level of patience and selflessness, and showed us what true loyalty and devotion looks like,” he wrote. The 47-year-old adds that it was difficult to say goodbye. “Even at the very end when your body and mind were failing and beyond exhausted, you still tirelessly struggled to hold on for us, refusing to give in. It was our turn to be selfless, and strong for you. Tearing our own hearts out so we could help you to avoid suffering was the only loving option we had. It was the hardest thing we have ever done. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.” Mary revealed in an Instagram post shared in August that they also got jewellery made with his ashes. “@jasonoppenheim and I will always have a piece of our Niko,” she wrote.
