Snoop Dogg kept the memory of his West Coast brother Nate Dogg alive by tatting a picture of his face on his left forearm along with the words “All Doggs Go to Heaven.” The new ink by famed tattoo artist Mister Cartoon was done late Friday and serves as a lasting tribute to his lifelong friend.

“We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb,” Snoop previously tweeted. “One of my best friends n a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at poly high where we met. I love u buddy luv. U will always b wit me 4ever n a day.”

The G-Funk pioneer will be laid to rest in his native Long Beach, Calif., today. The Nate Dogg Memorial Trust has been set up in his honor with 100% of the proceeds going towards Nate’s family and memorial expenses. Donations can be made online.
