Easily the most important part of making baby name tattoos is figuring out what type of font to use in the design. You might want a silly font that makes the design pop a little bit more, or you might want to keep the design a bit more serious. In either case you will want to look through the huge catalog of fonts that are out there right now to find the perfect one. That sounds like a daunting task, but all you really have to do is find a category of fonts you like and then look through that list. You also want to make sure that it can look as good on the skin as it does on your screen or on paper, which your artist can help you with.

Another potentially important part of baby name tattoo designs is figuring out what type of images to include in the tattoo. You might want to include symbols or detailed images in the design to make it that much more meaningful, but you’ll need to find ones that blend in with the names in a satisfying way. An example of this is including a specific type of flower that has a meaning (like “love”) that fits perfectly behind, above, below, or next to the name.

Rather than include an image with the baby name tattoo, some people instead opt to get their designs made in a specific shape. For example, a popular version of this is to make the name in a heart shape, which both holds the name and makes the meaning obvious to people who see it for the first time. Believe it or not, doing this type of thing can actually make the design smaller, allowing you to make it fit wherever you want to place it.

One cool idea for parents interested in getting baby name tattoos is to get matching designs on the same parts of their bodies. You can get the exact same designs or you can each get the tattoo in a different color.

Choosing a location for baby name tattoos can be a bit tricky for some people. Do you want everyone to see it or is it more of a personal tattoo that you don’t want to be exposed while you’re at work? You’ll want to answer these questions before you start designing the tat to ensure it will work wherever you end up deciding to place it.
