Mom Tattoos to inspire you and help you come up with your own beautiful piece!
It’s been about a year now since I crossed off number 72 on my life list by getting a meaningful tattoo. I chose to get my kids names on my rib cage in cursive lettering and I adore it. I love all of these amazing mom tattoos I keep seeing and scooped up all of my favorites. If it didn’t hurt so bad the first time around, maybe I’d get one or two or a hundred more.
I bought a pack of Tattify DIY Temporary Tattoo Paper and actually got to wear my tattoo for a few days to see if I liked it! This stuff is so genius if you’re contemplating a tattoo.
Names | Mom Tattoos
1. Chelsey has this pretty script font of her daughters name on her forearm.
2. My kids names on my left rib cage. (The font I used here is CK cursive.)
3. Another forearm tat with kids names in a script font. This is beautiful.
4. This simple script font on the wrist is lovely.
5. Here is another cursive font, this one on the shoulder.
Birth Dates
6. Children’s birth dates on the back of the neck. Beautiful!
7. I like using roman numerals for dates and this one on her collar bone is gorgeous.
8. I wouldn’t have thought to spell out a birth date but this is a unique and adorable idea.
Sayings & Symbols
9. I adore this E.E. Cummings Quote that AP from I Love You More Than Carrots got for her three boys. This is pretty popular right now and for good reason. Here is another version of that same poem.
10. And another.
11. Danty black birds, each one symbolizing a child.
12. This sweet tattoo is the Celtic symbol for Motherhood.

I aidn’t get my first tattoo till I was 38 years old. I was going through a divorce and had been married to my ex since I was 19. I realized he never took the time to know anything about me. He hates tattoos abound thinks women with tatt ‘ s are tacky. The day I realized they was zero hope for our marriage I got my favorite flower on my ankle, a daisy. He commented my favorite flower was a rose whtattoo’ss trying to get me to forgive his infidelity. The day I signed my divorce I can a flower on my toe,.a gift to myself, my freedom flower. This past year I lost my father and had lost my mother a year before my divorce. In honor and respect for them I got a “violet” on my back. My mother’s name. I love them all. Do I worry about what they are going to look like when I get older, NO!! Right now unless I point out my tattoos, people rarely notice them. They tell me I look classy and that they just don’t notice the tattoo’s. I think tattoos can be beautiful and classy and lovely. I also think you can over do them. I think Angelina Jolie is beautiful, I think her tattoos are tacky. So anything you do can be beautiful or tacky. Think it through, choose a good artist, ask to see his previous work, and be sure because they are permanent. Good Luck!!
My first tattoo was the one that symbolized my motherhood. I got it in my early thirties (!!)
It’s mother nursing. She’s my absolute favourite. I knew the moment I saw her I wanted her (and I still waited years to get her)
That “i carry your heart” shoulder tattoo is mine!
I have the tattoo that looks like a heart on my wrist. It is the Celtic symbol for motherhood. 🙂
I have my daughter’s birth foot print on my foot. Reminds me everday what I’m fighting for.
My son & I have had this thing since he was 4…..now 17yrs old we still say it…..I say I love u, he says I love u more then I say I love u most. A year ago a dear friend & nurse who I work with beat breast cancer so we got a pink ribbon tattoo. We each had our own design where the ribbon was incorporated into it. Mine is on the top of my right foot & says “Hunter, I love you most”. The “e” in his name is the pink ribbon. I’d love to share a picture.
