Loveliest Family Tattoo Ideas You’ll Ever See
Inside: Family tattoo ideas that show your favorite people how much you care.
My mom has FINALLY agreed to get a tattoo with me and my siblings, and I could not be more excited. To be honest, I started to fear that it would never happen… but it is! This is not a drill!
So naturally, I broke out the big guns (aka my laptop). I began the worldwide manhunt for our perfect tattoo, and I found SO MANY to choose from, I am not sure how we are going to do it. But hey, that’s a problem I am happy to have.
I figured it would be a waste to have these ideas stay in their respective corners of the internet, so I went ahead and created a list of the loveliest family tattoo ideas I’ve seen. I mean it; these are amazing. But before we get into the designs, let’s chat about the pain level here
Will It Hurt?
When I was getting my first tattoo, I was TERRIFIED of how it would feel. I was worried I would scream, cry or, heaven forbid…pass out. But for me, it wasn’t that bad!
I think it’s essential to keep in mind that while there is some pain associated with getting a tattoo, many people find the experience manageable and worth the end result. I will describe the pain as someone drawing on you with a hot needle.
Also, keep in mind that the body releases endorphins during the process, which can help in reducing discomfort and create a feeling of euphoria. It knows what to do! There are many different things that go into how painful a tat is, including:
- Individual pain tolerance – Everyone’s pain threshold is different, so what may be painful for one person might be more tolerable for another.
- Tattoo placement – Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. Bony areas or places with thin skin and nerve endings, like the ribs, ankles, and wrists, can be more painful.
- Tattoo size and complexity – Larger and more intricate tattoos may require longer sessions, which can lead to increased discomfort.
- Tattoo artist’s technique – An experienced and skilled tattoo artist can often minimize pain and discomfort by using the right techniques.
- Personal mindset – Feeling nervous or anxious about getting a tattoo can increase the perception of pain.
If you’re considering getting a family tattoo or any tattoo, it’s crucial to choose a reputable and experienced tattoo artist who follows proper hygiene and safety protocols. My biggest fear in life is getting an infected tattoo, no thank you. A good tattoo artist can guide you through the process and provide tips for managing discomfort during and after the tattoo session.

I have some good news for you, Family tattoos don’t cost any more than other tattoos! But I can’t give you an actual amount because tattoo cost is a highly changeable thing. Some of the key factors that influence the cost of a tattoo included
Tattoo Size –
The size of the tattoo is one of the most significant factors determining the cost. Larger tattoos generally require more time, effort, and ink, and thus tend to be more expensive than smaller ones.
- Tattoo Design Complexity – Elaborate and intricate designs often require the artist to spend more time and effort to create the details, leading to a higher cost.
- Tattoo Artist Experience and Reputation – Highly skilled and well-known tattoo artists typically charge more for their services.
- Tattoo Location – The placement of the tattoo on the body can also impact the cost. Tattoos on sensitive or challenging areas may take longer to complete, affecting the overall price.
- Geographic Location – Tattoo prices can vary based on the region or city. In more expensive areas, you may find higher tattoo costs.
- Tattoo Shop Policies – Some tattoo shops have a minimum charge regardless of the size or complexity of the tattoo.
- Color vs. Black and Grey – Color tattoos may cost more than black and grey tattoos due to the extra time and skill required for color shading.
Honestly, the only way to get an accurate idea of the cost for your specific family tattoo, it’s best to consult with tattoo artists directly; they will have all the info you need, my friend! Many tattoo artists offer free consultations where they can discuss your design ideas, provide an estimate, and answer any questions you may have.
Keep in mind that while cost is a factor to consider, it’s essential to prioritize quality and safety when choosing a tattoo artist. This goes back to my infected tattoo fear, and I am going to pass it along to you.
Going for the cheapest option may not always result in the best outcome, as the skill and experience of the artist are crucial in achieving the desired look and ensuring the tattoo heals properly. I am going to sound like a boring old grandma when I say this, but it’s true: tattoos are permanent.
Make sure you are getting a tattoo that you are going to enjoy 10,20,30 years into the future!
We have our consultation booked, so my mom can’t back out now. Remember that even though these tattoos are amazing, it’s important that you make them your own, if only a little bit. You don’t want to just copy-paste!
Whether that be by adding your favorite colors or your family name, make this tattoo personal to you! This is going to be an awesome experience to do this with the people who I love the most while home foe the holidays.
