my sister and i want to get matching tattoos--a bonding thing--any ideas? i already have two and she has one.

Question

our tastes are similiar but not completely the same. she likes fairies --i like stars and moons. we have been looking on some sites but nothing has grabbed us both. i have one chinese symbol, and a star sun moon combo, she has a playboy bunny--any suggestions or websites would be helpful. Thanks

please do not tell me not to get one...whats the point.. i already have two--i have had my first one for 7 years and i dont regret it yet so what makes you think i will regret one that i got with my sister???

Answer 1

My only suggestions would be to take your time and not to rush it.

Find something meaningful to the both of you that you both feel compliments both of your personalities and absolutely love, even if only you two understand it;

*your initials of your last name
*first name's initial
*each other's name
*heritage piece (ex. 4 leaf clover for irish)
*religious (ex. cross)

Or maybe you could both get flowers of your birth-month, and put them in the same place on each other's bodies.

Don't limit yourself to the internet and finding pictures of someone else's tattoos, I've always taken bits and pieces from all over and incorperated them into mine, and mine are all one-of-a-kind. A good tattoo artist should be able to take all of your ideas (whether on paper, or in your mind) and work them into something spectacular.

Good luck.

Don't listen to Michael. One regret is not enough of a reason to preach to others.

I have drawn alot of tats for other people and most of mine were custom pieces I drew. Have you ever seen the sad fairy painting? i don't recall who painted it off the top of my head (you can google it!) but it was the first thing that popped into my head when i read your question. (except maybe a fairy that isn't sad!) unless you'd rather go that route

my brother and i are polar opposites (i'm all punk and covered in tattoos and piercings and he's straight up country) we dont' aggree on anything. but we love each other very much. and we're in the same boat. you don't want to do something as overdone as the whole yin and yang bit, because you want something totally original. something personal. Which means that you and your sister are the only ones that can come up with anything that will make any sense. even if it only makes sense to the two of you

Answer 3

This chick that I work with has the absolute coolest tattoo I've ever seen in my life... she lived in Hawaii for a long time and when she moved, she got this in memory of her best friend that she was leaving behind.... it's two palm trees, bending into each other, overlapping. It looks like the trees are "hugging" each other. It's really nice. The neatest thing about it is that it's on the top of her foot so you can see it when she wears heels, sandals, flip flops, etc.

I think that I'm going to get a smaller version of it on my shoulder.

Good luck! Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Don't listen to Michael. My brother and I have a couple of tats that are the same. It's a good way to bond if you are into getting ink. Here's a link for a site that has a ton of different ideas. Just be sure to get an original tat for you and your sis. Don't copy others.

Answer 5

You know what would be cute, if you thought of something you both liked, and combined it into one. Like, for example have the tattoo artist draw up a fairy catching a star or something like that. So it's a little bit of both of you together, and then you'll both have it

Answer 7

why not something like a mizpah or something similar if you are not religious... or one of you get the chinese symbol for crisis and one get opportunity..

Answer 8
