All Name Tattoos – Can You Spot Your Name?

Your name, your loved one’s name, the name of someone who has died: all the name tattoos that are fit to print!

Tattoos are permanent pieces of art that people get on their body. They are a person’s unique way of expressing themselves; or they can be used as a powerful reminder. One of the most special tattoos are name tattoos.

What is so special about a name? A name presents a person; his or her identity. Our parents have probably spent days picking out the perfect name for us. The names of our loved ones mean so much to us, because they remind us of them.

A name tattoo is very special, and should be thought of properly. Many people get name tattoos and regretted them after a bad break up. But, if you are sure your loved one is the one, or you want to dedicate your tattoo to a friend, family member or a deceased person, then getting a name tattoo is the best way to show them and everyone else how much they mean to you.

 

Here are some of the best name tattoo designs.

20. Date and Name Tattoo

Getting a simple name tattoo is a great option. But, name tattoos go well with other symbols, and also with dates. For example, if you want to get the name of your significant other as a tattoo, you may also get your anniversary date or the day you two met tattooed underneath the name. I believe this particular name tattoo is dedicated to a child and its birth date.

19. Beautiful Name Tattoos

Name tattoos can be done in all sizes, fonts, and even colors. But, you do not have to only get a tattoo of one name. Multiple name tattoos are also a great choice. If you pay attention to this tattoo, you will notice that these names and the beautiful pink heart actually form a bigger heart. Am I right?

18. Name Tattoos for Mothers

Mothers (and fathers) are the only human beings who will be there for you and always be on your side no matter what. Mothers are usually very, and sometimes even too proud of their children. But, that is not a bad thing. It is just their way of showing love. And, if they want to perpetuate their love, they get a tattoo. This tattoo with a beautiful lotus flower and a symbol of mother holding a child are the perfect supplements for name tattoos.

17. Pet Name Tattoos

People who are pet owners consider their pets as family. Some people have more than one pet, and it would be unfair towards the others to miss out their names. This is a great tattoo idea for people who own more than just one pet. For those who only have one pet, it would be a good idea to get the name of the pet in the middle part of the paw, or to get a small paw next to the name of the pet.

16. Simple Name Tattoo

There is a beauty in those simple tattoos, especially when it comes to name tattoos. This is one of the examples of simplicity at its best. The tattoo would maybe be too simple if there wasn’t for this cute heart that is connected to the letter ‘a’.

15. Amazing Names Tattoo

This tattoo may belong to a mother who tattooed the name of her children, or of a sister who tattooed the name of her siblings. Or maybe even something else! But, that is not as important as the beauty of this design. The tattoos are elegant and feminine, and the location is subtle. Even though the tattoo looks pretty simply, it is also sophisticated thanks to the font and the heart shape that the first and last letters of the name form.

14. Classic Name Tattoo

If you only want a name tattoo, then get only a name tattoo. You do not have to add any symbols, dates or anything else. Just pick out the appropriate font, size, and the location of your tattoo. This tattoo is a great example of a well-done classic name tattoo.

13. Stylish Name Tattoo

This tattoo looks so stylish! Maybe it is because of the girl’s ring, or hair, but it just does. The tattoo is done on an not so common place for the name tattoo, and that is what makes this tattoo unique. I’m a big fan of simple, yet meaningful tattoos and I believe this would be the perfect choice for those who love this type of tattoos.

12. Arrow, Heard and a Name

This is a great example of a tattoo for parents. There is a name, and a heart, but what is with the arrow? An arrow has to be pulled back before it is launched into something greater. Now, this mother got the heart as the arrow tip, because her child has a heart defect. She also believes that this is life pulling her baby back and preparing him/her for great things. What a beautiful story told with the help of a tattoo, right?

11. Shoulder Name Tattoo

Now, this tattoo has almost all the things I mentioned combined. Interesting location, beautiful font, symbol, date, and a heartbeat. Most likely, this is a proud mother marking possibly the happiest and most important day in her life with a beautiful tattoo.

10. Heart-Shaped Name Tattoo

Have you ever seen a name tattoo like this before? I haven’t. The font is unusual, not script, but capital letters. And, they also form a heart. Maybe this tattoo is only suitable for the name Alicia? What do you think, could other names form a heart like this name does?

9. Arrows and Names

You’ve just read about the heart-touching story about the mother who got a baby with a heart defect and dedicated him/her a tattoo. Well, other mothers also get tattoos dedicated to their children. One of the most inspiring tattoos are name tattoos combined with arrows. As I’ve said, arrows need to be pulled back before being shot into something great. Well, our mothers are the ones who make sure that life shoots us into the greatness.

8. Infinity Name Tattoos

You must have heard the “To infinity and beyond” expression at least once in your life. When you care so much about someone, you may say that you love that person to infinity and beyond. Two names may be connected with the infinity symbol and create the perfect name tattoo for two lovers, or even family members.

7. Handwriting Name Tattoos

If you are looking for the perfect design for your name tattoo, you may think about getting the name written in the handwriting font. The font in the image above is a font in longhand writing and it is perfect for simple name tattoos.

6. Foot Names Tattoo

If you feel that it would be unfair to get a name of only one person as a tattoo, then take a look at this one. It is the perfect way to combine multiple names in one tattoo. With the heart symbol in the middle, and the names combined with the infinity symbol, it is clear that your love is infinite and eternal.

5. Heartbeat Name Tattoos

Does your heart beat only for Hunter? Or, does Hunter make your heart beat fast? Well then, take this picture and bring it to your tattoo artist. You can also bring this picture to your tattoo artist if you would like the same tattoo design, but a different name.

4. Arrows Name Tattoos

We have already shown you a few arrow tattoos with names in the middle of the arrows. This tattoo is one of the best tattoos of this kind. You can notice that every arrow is different and probably characterizes that person in a way. This is a perfect tattoo for mothers, or a matching tattoo for siblings and/or friends.

3. Capital Letter Tattoo

I know this is not a name tattoo, but it looks pretty good, too. This is one of the most simple tattoos I have ever seen. You may get a capital letter of a person’s name instead of getting the full name. Tattoos like this are way more mysterious than full name tattoos and I think they are more modern. But, that is only my opinion. What do you think?

2. Family Tree Names

Our family should be the most important to us. Some people appreciate and love their family so much that they even dedicate a tattoo to them. If you feel that getting a one family member’s name as a tattoo would hurt others, then you have no choice but to get a family tree names tattoo. Or, you can incorporate their names into a paw.

1. Name Tattoo for Parents

When couples get their first child, their entire life gets a new meaning and sense. Their baby becomes the center of the world. Most of them are in love with their baby. And some of them want to make a special, and in a way eternal, dedication for the baby. That is why they get beautiful, matching name tattoos. Of course, you do not have to get a matching tattoo. You can use this design with beautiful butterflies on your own. If you want to find out why did these parents choose a butterfly out of all other symbols, check out our posts about meanings of butterfly tattoos.
