9+ Best Family Tattoo Designs

Oct 08, 2018

Everything starts and ends with the family, and when the time comes for us to leave the nest (because we all have to at some point), we’ll want a memento, a token, a piece of them to take with us to remember them by. While some people settle on photographs on a frame or a wallpaper on their phone or computer, the hardcore ones go for the tattoo. And it’s awesome!

Family tattoo designs are popular among people who close bonds to their family or those who have lost a loved one or two. Tattoos are a great way to honor and express love to the family unit that has helped you become who you are. Here we bring you a select number of beautiful, affecting, and heartwarming tattoos that express the profound love that we all have for our family.

What Family Tattoo Design Should You Get?

First, consider the part of the body you’re planning to get inked. If you only want an ankle tattoo or a wrist tattoo, you’d best go for smaller designs. If you’re planning to have it on your chest area or back, then you can opt for bigger and more complex designs such as portraits.

Letter Tattoos

Most people who get family letter tattoos use the names of their family members or a short quote or line that sums up their love and devotion to their family. When you plan to get letter tattoos, make sure the text is spelled correctly and that the font matches the emotion you want to convey. (We have an archive of gorgeous font styles ideal for any kind of statement tattoos.)

Portrait Tattoos

If you’re getting an arm or leg tattoo, you can opt for single portraits or a more elaborate image of faces. Most get tattoo portraits of their mothers, sisters, or daughters in these areas. You can also explore our compilation of 3D tattoo designs, which are very interesting and something to behold.

The Family Motto

Families that are rooted, have grown, and remain growing in a single place usually have a motto or insignia of some kind. These wordings and images often make great material for tattoo designs. Family motto or quotes about the family are ideal designs for a back tattoo or a chest tattoo.

Symbols of the Family

A lot of family tattoo designs are images that symbolize the family. The most common is the tree; a nest of birds; a pack of animals; a rose; a hammer (to signify the family’s strength); and other such representations of beauty, solidarity, and love.
