More and more parents are deciding to commemorate their offspring with not just a baby book, a simple photograph but with something more permanent…a tattoo.
Here are 10 interesting ways to commemorate your kid with skin and ink.
The Foot Tattoo Baby feet are just so damn cute. Tiny, soft and adorable the foot is a popular imprint to keep as a memory of how tiny your baby once was. Generally these are done on paper or clay but occasionally the parent wants something a bit more permanent like this foot, with name, tattoo.
The Hand Tattoo If feet aren’t your thing, you can get your kids handprints on your body. It’s like the child got into an inkwell, soaked their paws and gave Daddy a great big push. Then the proud Dad went to their local tattoo parlor to have the moment saved for prosperity.
A Portrait Tattoo of your kid But if that’s the risk you’re up to taking, this is a great idea. However, when the child hits the independent pre-teen years, the tattoo of them as a baby on your arm will probably be incrediby embarrassing.
A Portrait of Someone Else’s Kid If you don’t have kids, or just are not that fond of your own, get a tattoo of someone else’s kid. We know of one parent who opted to get a tattoo of Angelina Jolie’s adopted son Maddox on their body.
A Portrait of your Kid’s Self Portraits Charming, sweet and whimsical, these tattoos of your kid’s self portraits can be an artistic, impressionistic memory of your child’s early years. The Bonus points come if your kid has actual talent.
The Baby Was Here Tattoo For those who really loved being pregnant and wished that there was a little one in (or in this case- on) your belly forever, some tattoos pays homage to fertility and the ability of the body to create bones and a being. ..with a baby tattooed on the belly.
The ‘I really like my kid’s name’ Tattoo If you watched the 3rd season of Project Runway, then the neck of Jeffrey Sebelia would be very familiar to you. His calligraphy covered neck Sebelia shows an homage to his infant. His son’s name is boldly etched onto his neck. Poor kid, every time he talks to his dad he’ll have to see his name staring back at him.
‘I have not 1 but 6 to honor’ Tattoo If you have more than several kids, getting something like a portrait of each would be pretty confining space wise. Getting something a bit more subtle spacewise would be a better decision. Angelina Jolie has the map coordinates of where each of her children were born as a tattoo.
A Portrait of Your Kid’s Favorite Toy Maybe it’s a stuffed animal, a favorite dolly or a My Little Pony. You have the option of paying tribute to your child’s favorite toy instead of just the child themselves…with a tattoo. This tattoo makes a great conversation piece at the playground.
A Keep Your Kid Busy Tattoo Tattoos can be a cool way to commemorate your child, but how about one that will actually keep them busy? Now that’s some double duty idea for skin art for sure. Someone got a connect the dots tattoo…when all the dots are comnnected it turns into a cute giraffe. This is a perfect way for little Jimmy Joe or Janie Ann to pass the time while in line at the five and dime.
