Actor Cheyenne Jackson has gone under the needle to get a tattoo tribute to his beloved dog following his sudden death earlier this year.
The 30 Rock star's adopted pet Rottweiler mix, nine-year-old Zora, died in his arms in March after losing his battle with cancer, and now the actor has gotten the first letter of the mutt's name inked on his right forearm in honour of his beloved pooch.

Jackson isn't the only celebrity to get a tattoo tribute to their tragic pet - actress Jennifer Aniston got the name of her Welsh Corgi-Terrier mix, Norman, permanently etched on her right foot last year.
