Lily & Nala

WOOF WOOF! WOOF WOOF! WOOF! Sniff sniff pant pant

For those of you who don't speak dog, Lily says: "Welcome to the Devlin Ink Studio! Do you have any snackies? If you scratch my butt, I can be your best friend! SQUIRREL! You smell like a dog — do you like dogs? I like dogs. Oh wow, your tattoo looks awesome! Scratch my butt, please!"

We don't have an Instagram for our lovable little shop assistants and emotional support dogs yet, but we take more than enough photos — so here's a little album for you to enjoy.

Lily — an 11-year-old Staffie, extremely lazy, very chill, and not big on eye contact. She's a shy girl at heart, but give her a minute, and she'll warm right up.

Nala — a 1-year-old Cane Corso, full of energy and slobber. She's also an exceptional thief, so keep your snacks and food well out of paw's reach — she will find them.
