Family Tattoos Tree Tattoos

A stylishly sentimental acumen is prudently unlocked with a noble family tree tattoo. These innately artful displays enable a monumentally rousing path toward basking in the wonders of kinship.

Family tree tattoos offer a divine outlet for lavishly showcasing an affinity to your human heritage.

These ravishing imprints will sleekly reflect on your past, present, and future. This kind of brilliant tattoo art will forge a permanent bond with all the people who have come before you.

Supreme discernment is naturally indicated by a regally influenced family tree tattoo. These streamlined logos adeptly capture each loving bond that preceded one’s own existence. They serve as an enduring reminder of a man’s integral background and core identity.

Another advantage of traditional family tree tattoos is their inherent ability to become a loving memorial for those who are no longer with us. The memories of lost loved ones can be immortally preserved via this stellar form of body art. These linear arrangements are vastly customizable, but the striking content remains the same no matter what. Each name on a tree branch can even be enhanced with its own original calligraphy.

Celebrate your lineage with one of the following family tree tattoo ideas that expound on the attractiveness enshrined within this cunning concept.

1. Family Tree Tattoos With Names

When committing to a family tree tattoo, there are obviously some specific members of that family tree who matter to you. Having their names in the piece just goes that much further toward honoring them. There are many appropriate options, some commonplace, others a bit more creative.

Names can be carved into swirling branches and above branches. They can be first names with the family name at the roots. A particularly nice touch can be designing the names in negative space complemented by white ink outlines on a black and gray tattoo. Others choose to go more American Traditional in style with name banners wrapping around the tree.

  

2. Color Family Tree Tattoos

Color is a bold choice to differentiate yourself from the broad strokes of black and grey that dominate family tree tattoos. It doesn’t have to be over the top, either. A simple coloring of the tree itself can really make the piece pop. This is particularly relevant if the tree itself has a special meaning or connection to your family.

If you have a specific tree in mind, it can be a great idea to nail the coloring. You can opt for an oak tree, pine tree, willow tree, or any tree that might hold deep meaning for your family. You can also choose a small tree if you limit your tattoo design to your immediate family. Spring, autumn, or evergreen – all will work appropriately in providing your family tree tattoo an extra dimension. Color lends itself well to many different styles also. It can work for anything from cartoons to realism.

3. Script/Quote Family Tree Tattoos

Some people prefer to go for a general homage to family rather than a specific family tree. But just because you’re not using names doesn’t mean you have to forego script entirely. A simple “family” in a tattoo design is both respectful and deep, adding an appropriate oomph.

Stylistically, the roots of the tree can be molded into a script, the script can be made of leaves in a windswept impression or it can simply be in a traditional lettering format. Apart from “family,” popular quotes include: “The family is one of nature’s masterpieces” and “Like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one.”

 

4. Large Family Tree Tattoos

You know how they say go large or go home? Yeah, they don’t say that about family! Nevertheless, some do go large, and if you want to represent significant numbers of names on your body, then chest, back, or wrap-around body art is the way to go.

A great tattoo idea is going simple fine line black and gray but over a large area. That way, you have the impact of the size as well as a lot of the clean space attributes this style offers. Large is also the way to go if you want to fully embrace a multifaceted family tree tattoo design.

 

5. Simple Family Tree Tattoos

The meaning of a family tree tattoo is simple. Sometimes, simple matches with simple. Thick black lines for a tree or fine lines for the outline of a tree can ably convey the message. The key to a good simple tattoo is to have a powerful message that can be instantly interpreted. Cutting out the detail means it’s easy to take it all in fast.

Simple tattoos are also great for those who don’t want to commit hours to the tattoo artist‘s chair or don’t want to give up a great deal of their canvas. It can also help with privacy if you’d like to carry that message just for yourself.

6. Abstract Family Tree Tattoos

The tree itself has represented many things over time, and that gives enormous scope to combining it with other imagery in your design. The family tree can be part of a larger family motif, or it can work eclectically as well.

Because trees are so recognizable as an outline, they can be beautifully rendered through negative space. Family tree tattoos can also form part of a larger piece that is working with negative space. Other family-themed symbols like hearts can work. And you can always go completely off-piste and mix the family tree in with your own personal preference of style and theme.

7. Family Tree Tattoos On Arm

The arm is the mostly widely tattooed area on the human body. It’s the perfect placement for a piece you want to be seen. Celebrating your family tree in ink is a public declaration of feelings, if ever there was one, and is well suited to a forearm or bicep placement. Anywhere above the wrist is suitable for someone who wears long sleeves to work but wants to show off in their casual wear.

8. Family Tree Sleeve Tattoos

If you’ve got a lot to say about your body art concept, then a sleeve tattoo is for you. While it’s not a large, blank sheet of canvas like the chest or back, the sleeve does allow for some large and complete pieces.

A sleeve is a real commitment. It’s painstaking, time-consuming, and often expensive, so you have to really want it. The sleeve itself can be a beautiful work of tattoo art that you carry with you everywhere. That makes it very well suited to a family tree tattoo design.
