More and more parents are choosing to commemorate their offspring with not just a baby book, a simple photograph but with something more permanent…a tattoo.
Here are 10 unique 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.
Hand Tattoo If feet are not your thing, you can always get your kids handprints on your body. It’s just like the child got into some ink, soaked their hands and gave Daddy a great big push. Then the proud parent went to their local tattoo parlor to have the moment saved forever.
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.
The Portrait of Someone Else’s Kid If you don’t have kids, or just aren’t that fond of your own, get a tattoo of someone else’s kid. One consenting adult 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.
A Baby Was Here Tattoo For those who really loved being pregnant and wished that there was a little one in your belly forever, some tattoos pay homage to fertility with a baby tattooed on the belly.
‘I really like my kid’s name’ Tattoo If you are familiar with Project Runway, then the neck of Jeffrey Sebelia will be very familiar to you. His tattoo covered neck shows an inking of his infant. His son’s name is boldly tattooed all around his neck. The poor kid, every time he talks to his dad he will see his name looking 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.
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…when necessary? Now that’s some double duty idea for a tattoo for sure. A guy we know got a connect the dots tattoo…when all the dots are comnnected it turns into a cute baby animal. This is a perfect way for little Jimmy Lee or Junie Ann to pass the time while in line at the five and dime.
