Let’s hope this Family Guy ‘RIP Brian Griffin’ tattoo isn’t real

One Family Guy fan was so moved by the death of fictional combination of squiggles and colors Brian Griffin that they went and got him inked on their skin for life.

The world (read: inteet) was hit surprisingly hard by the dog’s abrupt demise in last week’s episode of the cartoon, with petitions being launched in support of his reanimation and even hoax sites being set up teasing his retu.

This ‘tattoo’ could be a Photoshop job (though if it is they’ve done a wonderful job on the smarting, red skin) but appears to show the extent of fans love for the character, who is pictured holding his trademark martini.

Brian has since been replaced on the show by a new family dog called Vinnie, voiced by The Sopranos actor Tony Sirico.
