Foster dog mom Diem told Newsweek that she picked up the stick-on tattoo from a bakery for dogs.
The temporary tat was of a little cartoon dog giving the finger with the cheeky words, "Fetch this."
She shared a clip to TikTok showing her putting the tat on her little puppy's belly and explaining the process.
The clip boasts over three million views and counting!
Many viewers weren't sure if the temporary tat was a good idea.
Veterinarian Linda Simon told Newsweek that she isn't surprised to see people putting fake tattoos on their pets.
After all, many pet owners paint their pooch's nails and get their animal's hair styled.
Foster dog mom says that the tattoo was dog-safe

Veterinarian Simon isn't a huge fan of temporary tattoos for dogs because she's worried they will lick at the body modification and ingest potentially dangerous chemicals.
She also worried about the animal's skin getting irritated.
That said, Simon noted that animal shelters sometimes use permanent tattoos to show that an animal has been neutered.
Diem emphasized that her puppy's temporary tat wasn't dangerous and was made of plant-based ink.
