13 Gorgeous Mom Tribute Tattoos

It’s getting close to mother’s day, and you may be wondering what you could get your mom. Perhaps a fresh bouquet of flowers, or some nice perfume, or the old jewelry stand-by will do. Or maybe you’re looking for something a little different. Perhaps you want to pull a Bart Simpson and find the nearest tattoo shop for some MOM ink (does anyone else remember that episode?) All jokes aside, tattoos are a fantastic way to honor the mama in your life.

And in honor of mother’s day, I thought I would share some gorgeous mom tribute tattoos with you all.

Use them to inspire your next tattoo parlor visit, or show them to your own’ ma first and ask her what she thinks. One thing’s for sure, though””these tattoos are are varied as all their moms surely are.

1. Classic Heart

This person opted for a classic tattoo of a heart with their mother’s name on it. While it’s fairly simple, I really love the font and the small details around it.

2. Watercolor style

I love the work on these watercolor-style flowers surrounding the word “mom.” Hopefully their mama appreciates it, too.

Another great idea is to incorporate your mother’s handwriting into the tattoo idea, like this person did.

 8. Give thanks

Of course, you could always use your ink as a thank you note to your mama for all that she’s done (we know moms do SO much for us).

9. Little lamb big fan

Maybe you and/or your mom weren’t big fans of hearts, though. So why not try a little lamb?

10. Throw on the sweetness

Hell, even a cupcake will do! Bonus points if your mom just happens to bake badass cupcakes.

 11. Straight forward

 12. Hidden but purposeful

Although this one’s positioning is too cute and just slightly incognito.

13. Power of a quote
