Name tattoos allow you to remember or celebrate a life by honoring them on your skin. Some may say a name tattoo is questionable, but you are simply telling the story of your life, good and bad.
Also, the name of a loved one doesn’t have to be merely a plain name. The lettering can say as much as the name itself.
If you are worried about a name not standing the test of time, get it tattooed in a super flowery or ornate calligraphy letters so only you know what it says at a glance. A name tattoo can be just as artistic as any other type of tattoo.
Placement is also an important issue when getting a name tattoo. Do you want the world to see it, or do you want to keep it private and just for you?
The back is a great place for women to get name tattoos, as only you will know it’s there unless you go to the beach. However, if you want to yell your name tattoo to the world, a hand, wrist, or upper arm tattoo is more appropriate.
You can also personalize the name tattoo with the favorite colors of the person you are celebrating. Make it even more special by adding symbols that remind you of them, like flowers or birds. Better yet, you can ask them how they would like to be honored in your tattoo! They will no doubt be flattered at your devotion.
A name tattoo design can be a beautiful way to remind you of who is important in your life. It can also let a special someone know how you really feel. Make it count with these popular body art ink ideas below!

For most women, the perfect spot for any name tattoo is the forearm, either outer or inner. I love this soft, black ink script which reads Katharina ever so delicately. It’s a wonderful memorial piece of body art that is so simple but can have such a major impact on the woman who bears the name on their skin.
How cool is this matching, half black ink line heart and half name words tattoo? I love how creative women are when it comes to turning words, phrases and names into everyday symbols and objects, and this tattoo is a beautiful example. Placed on the upper back just below the neck area, this tattoo truly warms the soul.
There’s nothing quite like a mother’s love for her child, and this upper shoulder name tattoo is a stunning tribute of those special moments. I love the female character who is gently snugging her baby on her chest. Both appear to be so peaceful, while a heart symbol gives the added impression of so much love being shared between the two. A simple Benjamin script name design can be found below the two.
Let’s face it, flowers are a beautiful way to remember or celebrate a loved one, but if you want a name tattoo, then you might be split on which one to go with. Here’s an awesome way to combine a flower with a name design by using the stem as placeholder for words.
When it comes to name tattoos, typography is literally the name of the game. Check out how creative this heart shaped text design is, featuring the word Alicia bent to fit the shape. While I love the creativity here and the brilliant use of typography, I also really like the wrist placement which suits the shape very well.
Just because someone means so much to you and has had such as big impact on your life doesn’t mean you need a billboard ad sized tattoo to show it. Here’s a tiny, super small tattoo which combines a rose flower and name together as one. The minimalistic black ink outline offers plenty of detail to convey a cute rose flower.
If you’re looking for a unique spot that’s out of the ordinary for your name tattoo, then consider the side of the foot. This design is easily concealed and will rarely be seen by anyone but yourself. Unless, of course, you are wearing sandals at the beach or pool.
