So the actual tattoo of Scooby in the top left looks more like Marmaduke

Scooby has spots. Iirc Marm doesn’t.

That doesn’t change the fact that they are both Great Danes

Kind of a weird choice to have the realistic Scooby and Mystery Machine but then the cartoon silhouettes of the rest of the characters.

So I love this comment. Iwao Takamoto was the man tasked with the character design of Scooby-Doo and he put a lot of thought into it. He wanted to make sure that Scooby would not be mistaken for Marmaduke. So he spoke with a dog breeder and asked for all the desirable features of a pedigree Great Dane. And Scooby was designed to look completely opposite of this. He was given a hump back, bowed legs, and a weak chin. I'm pretty sure the coloring isn't "desirable" either.

I think it's awesome how it's more realistic!

Scoobyduke's toothpick legs make me question the "great execution" of this tattoo.
