What Does Family Tree Tattoo Mean?

There might not be a more attractive way for people to show off their pride in their roots than through family tree tattoos. They are often extremely attractive tattoos that are very meaningful to their owners, and very personal in most cases. On this page we will take a look at why so many individuals choose to get family tree tattoos and some of the meanings that are attached to those designs.

One of the main reasons why family tree tattoos have shot up the rankings in recent years is because it’s a great way to show exactly where an individual comes from. Each branch can represent a different family member, and the trunk of the tree can embody the family itself. To some people this is about as meaningful and as important as a tattoo can be since it represents who they are and where they’ve come from.

Another reason why people get family tree tattoos is because they want to create a memorial for those who have passed away in their families. In these cases every single branch is a memorial that needs no name, though some people do choose to write the names of family members on them. This is a great idea for anyone who wants to honor more than one person in their family in a single tattoo design.

Many people opt to include text in or around their family tree tattoos to specify who is being represented in the design. This can be tough to design in those cases where many family members are being represented, though it can be done. If you opt for one of these family tree tattoos then you might want to use initials rather than full names to keep the image from looking too muddled. Of course, if you are only honoring a few family members you can include their full names and maybe even their dates of birth and death.

To add even more meaning to family tree tattoos, some people will pick out tree varieties that tell outsiders even more about them. For example, an oak tree represents courage and strength, which could be a meaning that someone wants to use for themselves and/or for the family members on the tree. It’s a good idea to look up the meanings of different tree species even if you weren’t planning on using a specific type of tree in your design.
