Lettering tattoo

Lettering is one of the most popular tattoo themes. Why are they so fond of boys and girls? There are many reasons for this:

• The ability to express yourself
• Convey to others some of your thoughts or some information about yourself
• Together with the image to "perpetuate" someone or something

And often these inscriptions are dedicated to the family. A tattoo about a family or a tattoo about parents is a great way to say to the whole world: "I love, respect and appreciate my family." People may not approve of tattoos, but they will not be able to appreciate such a sign of attention in relation to their closest ones.

Tattoo inscriptions about the family

Sometimes we don't have enough words to express our feelings. Sometimes we don't have the time or the courage to do this. And although our loved ones know that we love them, it will never be superfluous to say it again. But in order to accomplish this, there are many different ways, including tattoos.

And the popularity of such confessions is increasing year by year. Because for many, family and parents are a reliable stronghold, they are people who are ready to help and support even in the most difficult moments of life, these are those who deserve love like no one else.

Ideas for "family" tattoos

Do you also want to talk about your feelings, say thank you to your parents with the help of a tattoo? There are many options and ideas for this.

Images do not always manage to fully and accurately convey the full range of feelings and emotions we experience. And that's when words come to the rescue. On this page you can find a lot of tattoo ideas dedicated to parents. But this is only a small fraction of what can be applied. Your tattoo family may be:

• In the form of an inscription expressing the expression in your own words
• In the form of an aphorism that best reveals feelings, attitudes, emotions
• A phrase in absolutely any language (English and Latin are the most popular now)
• Image along with caption

The inscription is convenient in that it can be applied anywhere. If you do not want your confession to be visible to everyone, then you can get a tattoo on the body in the place that is usually hidden by clothing. Or, on the contrary, open it to everyone, tell everyone what you are experiencing.

Family tattoos are a manifestation of your personal initiative. Create and fantasize! And this post will just help you, push you to some original idea.

Each of us in life has such people whom we want to remember and feel near always. For some, these are parents, for others - a childhood friend, others can say this about their soulmate. A keepsake tattoo is a great way to keep a part of your loved one.

A memory tattoo will be your symbol of inextricable connection, love and respect. What plot to choose, where to place the future drawing and other issues we will consider in this article.

Tattoo for memory in the style of "Traditional"

"Tradition" is a popular variant of the style in which a keepsake tattoo can be done. Drawings in this style, with the aim of perpetuating the thoughts of someone close, have been made for decades. Even in the 60s, a sailor could be seen wearing a heart with the name of his beloved inscribed on his shoulder.

What options for a keepsake tattoo can be done in a traditional style?

1. The already mentioned heart with a ribbon on which the person's name is written. Most often, the composition is complemented by roses around. Most often, tattoos are done in honor of the mother.
2. The name, surrounded by clouds or wings, may indicate that that tattoo was done in memory of a deceased person.
3. Also, the person's name may be written on the scroll. Often this is supplemented with dates (birth or death).

Tattoo in memory of the deceased

The drawing, which is made for memory, should be personal, point to a specific person, reflect something that connected you.

But there are a number of "standard" symbols that are most often made in memory of a departed person.

1. A broken or pierced heart will immediately indicate that you have had to lose someone close in your life. Another option is that a piece of the heart can be chipped off and placed next to the name written on it.
2. A feather from which birds seem to fly out is another symbolic image. Below the design, there may be a name and dates of birth and death to indicate that this tattoo is not just for beauty.
3. A similar idea is a dandelion, from which helicopter seeds fly up. As in the previous version, the dates and the name of the person will look appropriate here.

Double tattoo for memory

You don't have to limit yourself to just one part of your body! The tattoo can be divided into two parts - on the right hand and left. When you close your hands together, the picture will come together.

What can be depicted in this way from tattoos for memory?

1. It can be a quote, a prayer that you divide into two parts and stuff on your forearms.
2. Unfortunately, quite often people lose two loved ones at once - their parents. In memory of them, their names and dates of death can be inscribed on the wrists of the right and left hands.
3. An interesting idea: on one hand, depict a baby with his hand raised up, and on the other, a flying balloon with the word "dad" or "mum".
4. Perhaps you wanted to get a tattoo for memory not by yourself, but together with someone (for example, with brothers and sisters in honor of deceased parents). Then you can choose a panoramic composition and share it for everyone. It is only worth considering that each tattoo individually also looks good.

Special symbols for memory

Having decided to perpetuate the memory of a person on your body, you can think about its features. For example, profession, hobby, etc.

What keepsake tattoo can be made from this category?

1. A racing lover can be immortalized on the body by simply filling the silhouette of a horse.
2. An athlete can be identified with a trophy.
3. With a fan of motorcycles, everything is obvious - it's either the "iron horse" itself, or a burning wheel, or a license plate.
4. Even for a confectioner, you can choose the appropriate symbol: for example, a cap, a rolling pin, or just a tattoo with a beautiful cake.

Words in memory tattoos

Various quotes- another good idea for a keepsake tattoo. For example, you can type the favorite phrase of the person you want to mark on your body. But just aphorisms that relate to loss, memory, or generally remind of this person are also well suited.

Miniature tattoos for memory

Your love and your longing for a person can be deep and quiet. This does not mean that it is necessarily important to make a large, bright and conspicuous tattoo! The drawing may be tiny and hidden from prying eyes, but it can be of great importance to you.

What might these sketches be?

• little teardrop,
• scattering of stars
• just a person's name
• palm or finger print,
• tiny butterfly.

Options for placing a keepsake tattoo

As a rule, memory tattoos are placed on prominent parts of the body. In this way, people show their respect for a person and remind others of him. For this purpose, it is worth choosing the front part of the torso, arms, legs, chest.

1. A complex composition with many details will take up a lot of space. To make the drawing come out of high quality, allocate space on the back, chest, hip or shoulder.
2. Small tattoos can be placed on the wrists, fingers, ankle.
3. If you want to hide the tattoo from prying eyes, place it on the back of the neck, behind the ear.

A keepsake tattoo is a good way to keep a piece of your loved one with you. But do not exaggerate your suffering: if you broke up with your soulmate, longing can seem incredible. But time will pass and you will feel better. But the tattoo will not go anywhere - the ink remains under the skin forever. So, take this step judiciously.

People get tattoos for completely different reasons, often substituting their skin under the needle of the master and completely for no reason. Some just want to stand out and express themselves, while others in this way want to show love to a loved one and always carry the memory of him with them. It is difficult to find a more sincere way to show your deep feelings for a person than to get a tattoo associated with him (well, maybe donate your kidney to him).

They loved to go on cruises together and my father was a Navy veteran, so he drew a ship. So he was just trying to say that he urgently wants to renew the lease and go on a cruise."

American Thomas Resk got a tattoo in memory of his deceased mother, who, as he himself says, was also his best friend. The drawing moved Twitter users so much that they almost all burst into tears and began to share their own tattoos, perpetuating the memories of loved ones.

A guy named Thomas Resk lives in the American city of Seattle. Judging by the accounts of Thomas in social networks, he is doing well: he is dating a girl, is engaged in bodybuilding.

But a few days ago, a tragic event happened in the life of an American: his mother died.

Thomas shared his feelings on Facebook, writing that he lost, first of all, his best friend, who was always there for him.

Thomas Resch

I'm so lucky to have you with me for 21 years. I have always been by your side. I remember how we went to a cafe together and took hot chocolate. I also remember sitting next to you while you were making scrapbooks and also making some of the stamps you gave me. And then you leaned over and looked at my work and giggled and said how good I was at it. You taught me to laugh, to be strong, to make the right choice, and most importantly, to love. You lit up the room with your presence and always did what you could to help the other. Life without you will be difficult, but I will never forget you and will always tell my child what a wonderful grandmother he had.

The guy really wanted to somehow perpetuate the memory of his mother in order to even more feel her presence nearby, and decided that a tattoo would be best suited for this. He is not the first to perpetuate the memory of a deceased relative in this way: there are people who, or even

But Thomas did not complicate his task and made an ordinary tattoo, but with an unusual content. On his chest, the American stuffed his mother’s last heartbeat and her note, which she left him when her son moved with a girl to a new house.

The fact is that this turned out to be the last thing his mother wrote to him, since she died a few days after the move, which Thomas was incredibly happy about.
