Dakota Johnson is preparing to expand her collection of delicate tattoos with a new piece that carries deep emotional significance.
The Materialists star, who already has at least 12 tattoos, recently opened up about her desire to memorialize a beloved family member through body art — her dog, Zeppelin, who passed away in December at the age of 17.
During an interview with MTV, Johnson revealed her intention behind the new tattoo. “I did want to get a tattoo while I was here but I haven’t had time. My dog, who was 17, is no longer with us so I was gonna get a little Zeppelin thing,” she shared.
While the final design hasn’t been decided yet, Johnson is clear on what she doesn’t want. “The cremation place — isn’t that crazy that I cremated him? — they gave me a little paw print of his, which I would never get tattooed, but maybe like a little Z or something,” she explained.
Reflecting on the loss, Johnson spoke of Zeppelin with affection and sorrow, calling him “the love of her life” and half-joking that everything feels “bleak” and that “nothing matters” without him.
In spite of the heartache, Johnson recently welcomed a new furry friend into her life. Speaking on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, she revealed that she had adopted a dog named Tokyo.
“We rescued her on Saturday from the Santa Barbara pound,” she said. “I didn’t plan on it.”
She continued, “I had a dog for 17 years. He was 17 and died in December. I was like, ‘Oh it’s going to be a while.’ But then I saw her and… she’s like an angel!”
Through her upcoming tattoo and her new adoption, Johnson is finding a way to honor the past while embracing a new chapter.
