47 Meaningful Tattoos For Moms That Will Melt Your Heart

Are you a proud mom who wants to pay tribute to your kids? Or maybe you want to honor your mother, the person who gave you life and who was always there for you?

Perhaps you want to pay tribute to your hero who sadly passed away, by doing something that’ll show how much you’re grateful to her for everything she did for you?

Then hurry up and book an appointment with a tattoo artist because the best way to do so is through body art, as tattoos for moms are deep and meaningful tributes.

Still, don’t hurry too much, because there is a hard part, which is choosing the perfect tattoo design.

If you want to make your tattoo meaningful, you can always personalize it with a name or a special date.

I advise you to carefully choose your tattoo artist and tattoo design, especially if it is going to be your first tattoo. As I like to say, think before you ink; after all, it’s going to be on your body forever.

If you are looking for the perfect mom tattoo, keep reading to find inspiration for the perfect design.

Tattoo ideas for moms who want to get inked

I know that all moms will agree with me that becoming a mother is the most special feeling in the world. We are so grateful to God for giving us the blessed privilege of becoming a mother.

We are also grateful to our kids for making us mothers and that’s why getting a tattoo to honor our kiddos has become a trend, especially with new moms and celebrity moms.

Here are some of the best tattoos for all moms and moms-to-be out there.

1. Stars tattoo in Heidi Klum’s style

Via Shutterstock.com

This large tattoo on Heidi Klum’s forearm represents her ex-husband and her four children. The name tattoo says ‘Seal’, her ex-husband.

The four stars after the name stand for her four children.

She also personalized the tattoo by putting the initial letter of each child’s name at the center of every star, so there is ‘L’ for Helene (whose nickname is ‘Leni’), ‘H’ for Henry, ‘J’ for Johan and ‘L’ for Lou.

2. The initial letter of your kid’s name behind your ear

Via bodyartguru.com

This simple tattoo is so Adele’s style. She has the letter A behind her ear, which stands for her son Angelo. If you want a small tattoo that’s not that visible, this is the perfect tattoo for you.

3. Your kid’s name tattooed on your hand

Via bodyartguru.com

Name tattoos are timeless and they’ll be a trend forever. You can play with the design, put it in cursive or something like that.

Again, we sought inspiration from Adele. She didn’t think that the letter behind her ear was enough so she had another tattoo for her son. This time, she tattooed his name, Angelo, on her right hand.

Adela also has ‘Paradise’ inked on her left hand. She explained once that those two tattoos are connected because this one symbolizes that her son Angelo is her paradise.

4. Your kid’s zodiac constellation tattoo

Via Instagram @jessicaalba

A small zodiac constellation tattoo is always super cute, as Jessica Alba knows because she has inked it on her left forearm.

If you’re a zodiac fan, you can use your children’s zodiac signs as inspiration for your tattoo. You can put it wherever you want because this tattoo is so cute that it’s impossible not to like it.

5. Birthdate tattoo designs

This is one of the most popular designs among all the mom tattoos. You can ink your child’s birthdate in Roman numerals or a pretty watercolor texture. The design is up to you.

Chrissy Teigen inked the birthdates of her kids, Luna and Miles, and everyone loves it and she also inked the birthdays of her mother, father and husband.

6. Coordinates tattoo

If you’re into geography, you can ink the coordinates of a specific location that means something important for you and your kids. For example, you can ink the coordinates of their birthplaces.

Angelina Jolie is one of the celebrities to choose this tattoo design. She inked the coordinates of the locations where she adopted each of her children.

7. Baby footprint tattoo

Newborn baby footprints are honestly the cutest things ever. If you get them inked somewhere on your body, you’ll get a lasting memory.

Oh, so sweet! This tattoo looks even cuter if you ink your child’s name or their date of birth alongside the tattoo.
