Tattoos have such a versatile application. Some are used as accessories, others are used as a form of expression. We tattoo ourselves to commemorate important people or events in our life. On top of that, we often get tattoos in honor of someone we are very close to and love dearly. Many couples, for example, often get matching tattoos to show their love for one another. Today, however, we are going to focus on the most important woman in your life – your mom. We have prepared a photo gallery of heartwarming mother daughter tattoos, so, go ahead and take your pick.

What are the most popular mother daughter tattoos?

  • Celtic knots. This symbol consists of interconnected loops. It is believed that it represents life and eternity, friendship and love. That is the reason why, many people choose this symbol to represent the bond with their family. So, if you and your mom get a matching tattoo of this symbol, you will be connected for eternity.
  • Infinity symbols. Another symbol representing eternity. It also looks amazing with an intertwined heart. There are so many different versions of this symbol that you have many options.
  • Mother and baby animals. Need we say more. Just like animals take care of their little cubs, your mom does too. Which is why, this type of tattoo represents the fact that she will always look out for you.
  • Butterfly. Sometimes people tattoo halves of a butterfly. It as often accompanied by the quotes “I gave her wings” and “She taught me to fly”. It is a great representation of the bond you share with your mom.
  • Like mother, like daughter. This quote is usually accompanied by two pieces that go together. Whether it is jigsaw puzzle pieces, or key and lock, they always look amazing.
  • Hearts. These are pretty straight forward. A beautiful expression of love.
  • Flowers. Blooming flowers, in particular. You can get a blooming flower, while your mom gets a fully bloomed one, showing the level of maturity in each of you.
