Tattoos are permanent but so is the love shared between a mother and daughter, which is why mother-daughter tattoos are such a beautiful way to express your relationship. If the two of you are ready to take the plunge and get inked, there are a few things to consider.
What kind of design do you want? You could opt for symbols, text, song lyrics, or animal designs that have a special meaning to you both. Your tattoo could be poignant or humorous, whatever expresses your bond best. And depending on how visible you want them to be or what your pain threshold is like, you should also bear size and placement in mind. Our diverse mother-daughter tattoo ideas will help you make the perfect selection. It is, after all, forever.
