In Loving Memory Tattoos

Last updated on November 30, 2017 By David 44 Comments

In loving memory tattoos although very popular will simply never go out of style. They are a great way to remember a loved one, honor them for the rest of your life, and have them be a part of you for eternity. Getting in loving memory tattoos are no doubt emotional, but the joy, pride, and remembrance they can give you make them well worth it. Often people get tattoos to recognize a defining moment in their life. This could be a number of things from getting married, a new job, a new baby; the list goes on and on. It’s unfortunate that the world we live in can’t always be perfect and often people that lose a loved one have an extremely difficult time letting them go. In loving memory tattoos are a great way to hold on to that person forever. It could be a husband that has lost his wife, a mother that has lost her son, a best friend passing away, or the memory of a pet. In loving memory tattoos are very personal and thought about extensively when coming up with a design making them a tattoo you will never regret.

in loving memory tattoosIn loving memory tattoos help commemorate and remember the loss of a loved one and help you keep that person alive in you forever. Tattoo styles and designs come and go like anything. Koi fish, tribal tattoos, lower back tattoos, butterfly tattoos, whatever they may be. All hit their peak and eventually die down. In loving memory tattoos will never go out of style. It will always remain fashionable to remember the ones in your life that you cared for and loved the most. You simply will never regret a tattoo with such deep meaning.

With in loving memory tattoos the amount of effort and time you will put into your final design will allow you to love your tattoo and never regret it. Thinking about how to represent a loved one should play into your design which will make your tattoo original to both yourself and the person you are remembering. It’s also worth noting that having an in loving memory tattoo can almost be a therapeutic experience. Of course, it won’t help right away but eventually it can help you with closure and the healing process can begin. With an in loving memory tattoo you will have that constant reminder of that person, the influence they had on your life, and how much you truly did care for them. Many of us start to feel guilty when we stop thinking about a loved one we have lost, we feel like they have been forgotten. With an in loving memory tattoo you will always have that reminder and will never have to worry about guilt. Of course it’s important to move forward and progress in life but remembering a loved one can give you inspiration, memories, and remind you every single day of how much you loved that person and the impact they had on your life.

    Hi! I would just like to say I have been searching the internet for ideas for a few weeks now and have not come across anything close to the amazing detail I have seen here on your site. I would love to have an idea from you as to what to do for my son. I am a 31 year old mother that has thought for many many years about getting a tattoo. However, even in my younger years I always thought there would come a day that I would regret it. Therefore that and my fear of needles kept me from ever doing it. Having lost my beautiful baby boy to a heart condition at only one month and 4 days old (after an open heart surgery and numerous promises from doctors that he would be okay) I have decided I could live to be 90 and not regret having him a permanent part of my body! Sooooo, could you please give me an idea? I love the picture I saw of the baby and the one of the baby laying in the hands as well. However if I didn’t do the picture I would like something representing what he went through during his short time here on earth and the strength that he portrayed through all the pain he endured. Also like something referencing his heart problem and representing his passing. If you could give me an idea and also let me know where you are located. I might just save up and make this a trip for him and come to “you” to get it done should you come up with something unique and special…I definately wouldn’t just take it somewhere else that’s for sure. I have more respect than that. So, email me this information so I can see if you are within a considerable distance to travel to do this for my son…thank you…

    Okay I do not want this to sound rude AT ALL as I am still (as I said in my previous comment) very impressed by your work. However, I am wondering how this site works now. Because lookin at the picture of the baby Jaiden…it is AMAZING!!!! Then the picture of the guys wife (1st picture 4th row down) I know there is no way the same two people did those two tattoos. So, do people post pictures of their tattoos on this site as well? How do I know what is “your” work? The picture of the baby Jaiden that is large on the main page and the picture of the baby laying in the hands on the second row are both amazing detail and that is the work I am interested in!! Therefore, please let me know who it is that does this work and where they are located. The details as to what I am looking for is in my previous comment. Thank you very much for your time and I really hope to hear from you!

    I will be back home from my first deployment in a couple of days and I trying to come up with the perfect design to honor my brother who passed in a fatal car wreck a few months before I left. He was just beginning to turn his life around and had no idea how proud i was of him. He was the oldest and always had my back which I know he is stil protecting me and my two sisters. If I could get something to add I know I want his portrait but would like to add something else to it.

    I have a tattoo of a cross already on my right shoulder blade and I would like to add to it. My grandmother just passed away and if possible I would like to add “in loving memory” “Grandma and Grandpa” and the years of there life to it. I was thinking about adding a banner going around the cross but not sure how to do that. Please help me out.

I want to get something that means as much to me as he did… I was his baby girl, and he is the 1 man i compare all others to… i love and miss him so… Anyone have any ideas? I also don’t want something everyone else has, it needs to be as individual as he was. Thanks Jennifer
