Meaning Behind Family Tree Tattoos
Family tree tattoos can have a myriad of meanings depending on the individual who decides to ink this piece on their skin
We will be discussing just a few of the meanings behind this timeless tattoo
In some cultures the family tree is also known as the tree of life as it is a symbol of a persons heritage and legacy
This tattoo design can celebrate an individuals lineage and symbolize the deep connection and bond between family members
Sometimes it is also used to represent the many reasons why people are separated from family and loved ones who seem to be scattered all over the world
To these people it may be a sentimental symbol of that separation but a testament to the deep roots that still keep them connected no matter how far away they are
It can be a great representation of the family bonds that can never be broken and carry a special connection to the wearer and family
Family tree tattoos can also be used to memorialize those lost loved ones who are no longer with us
Although they could be depicted as a typical “tree” design, there are many other ways to depict your family or family tree
This extremely personal tattoo can represent the past, present, and future representing the bond tying you to family who have come before you
These tattoos can also serve as a reminder of the strength in numbers and how family always comes together to overcome hardships and difficulties
Some other meanings behind this popular design are:
- Strength
- Durability
- Bonding
- Perseverance
- Love
- Longevity
- Endurance
- Power
Best Placement For A Family Tattoo
The most popular place people tend to put this design is on the back as it is the largest canvas on your body
In doing so, it allows for the tree to grow or additions to be made in the future
Family tree tattoos come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles
These tattoos can be just as unique as the individual who chooses to get this design
This makes for truly unique designs in each case
Just as in nature where two trees are never the same, the same rule applies to family tree tattoos
Even if done by the same artist it is terribly hard to mimic the exact same design twice on two different people making each tattoo specifically unique to that person
Different Styles Of Family Tattoos
There are many different styles of family tattoos, such as traditional, modern, abstract, numbers and symbols
They can also be done in a variety of colors or black and gray
Dates
Some family tree tattoos forego the use of names and instead choose to use dates
Blossoms and Branches
Instead of using names or dates, some people will use many buds or blossoms to represent each member of the family
The same can be done with branches or roots
This allows for tattoo designs to be done in smaller proportions and put in places where they can be discreetly hidden
Watercolor Family Tattoos
Watercolor family tattoos can be done in many different ways
The tree can be done in a simplistic style with the splashes of watercolor representing different family members
The trunk of the tree can be done in black and grey with only the leaves having color making the design really pop
Or watercolor can be used in the shading of the tattoo to give it more depth
Different Types Of Trees Used For Family Tree Tattoos
There is no one tree that is particularly used for family tree tattoos
It is up to each individual to decide what tree holds special meaning and value to their family
Some people choose a tree from childhood or a tree that was in their grandparents home that they remember climbing as a child
To each their own, which truly makes each tattoo unique and special
Minimalistic Outline Family Tattoos
Minimalistic outline family portraits are a modern take on the traditional family portrait
Instead of focusing on posed poses and intricate backgrounds, minimalistic outline family portraits focus on the outlines of each family member, with a simple background and each family member’s unique silhouette
The end result is a portrait that is both abstract and contemporary, but still holds the same sentimental value of a traditional family portrait
Minimalistic outline family portraits are a great way to honor the unique bond and connection that each family has, while also creating a modern and stylish piece of art
Blackwork Portraits
Blackwork portraits are often considered to be a more modern interpretation of the traditional portrait tattoo, which typically features a more realistic and detailed representation of the subject
Blackwork portraits, on the other hand, tend to be more stylized and abstract, and often focus on the subject’s most striking features such as the eyes, mouth, or nose
Blackwork portraits can be done in a variety of different tattooing styles, including dotwork, linework, and stippling
Each of these styles has its own unique characteristics and can be used to create a different aesthetic
Symbols
Symbols that are used to represent family can vary depending on the culture and the particular family
Common symbols used are hearts to represent love, hands to represent unity and commitment, and birds to represent freedom and hope
These symbols help to convey the feelings of family emotionally rather than visually
