Dedication Tattoos
Signing your love with ink
From photographs in our wallets to charm bracelets, humans have a habit of carrying their favourite memories around with them.
Sometimes, this memory is simply a person, someone you love so dearly that a photograph is enough to bring a smile to your face. And sometimes, the memory might be a place or an experience, often found nestled within a tiny trinket that we carry around like a secret pick-me-up.
Some people prefer to put aside the photos and trinkets, however – their preference lies with body art. They tell tales of their joy with their body as the canvas.
Dedication tattoos can range from family portraits to pet tattoos to tattoos dedicated to one’s love for certain hobbies or passions. They’re extremely versatile that way!

From entire family portrait tattoos to parent-child tattoos, from sibling tattoos to couple tattoos – and even pet tattoos! – the family tattoo is a beautiful way to immortalize your love for those most precious to you.
