There’s probably no better reason for a tattoo than to memorialize someone you love. That being said, a memorial tattoo is in no way the only means by which to remember a loved one.
Everyone knows that this can be done through photographs, music, or whatever works for you. The permanence and devotion involved in a memorial tattoo just make it seem that much more special.
Obviously, there is no right or wrong way to style a memorial tattoo. It can be simply a name or date, a small symbol, or a large and super detailed piece. Some people even choose to have photo-realistic portraits done. But it’s going to be your personal “I miss you” or “I love you” to an important soul. Maybe you need to be reminded of their presence now that they’re gone.
In memorial tattoos, it’s common to see flowers, religious symbols, doves, angels, or something that your loved one enjoyed. It can be as broad or personal as you want to make it.
Getting a memorial tattoo will illustrate your love and loyalty to this lost individual. It will be a way of having them always by your side, and a little bit of sunshine in your day.
A memorial tattoo is most commonly seen in areas like the upper arm, shoulder, or back. Ultimately though, there’s no guideline, template or requirement for a memorial tattoo. There are nothing and no one to say that you can’t design it the way that you feel best expresses your love.
It’s your way of honoring somebody special, which means that the options are endless, and it’s entirely up to you.
