We love cats. Have 7 of our own, all adopted strays and some ferals. My coworker, Dana, showed me sketch he did of a nekomata and thought this would be the perfect tattoo for me. I love my nekomata or “forked cat”. “…they are said to dance and manipulate the dead like puppets…” Tattoo by Dana Helmuth of Independent Tattoo, Selbyville, Delaware, USA.
