Self-expression and honoring relationships are at the heart of tattooing, making family tattoos eternally meaningful
The term ‘family’ originates from the Latin word ‘familia,’ which comes from ‘famulus,’ and further derives from the Oscan word ‘famel,’ meaning servant. This can be traced back even further to the Sanskrit word ‘vama,’ which translates to room or house.
Tattoos Symbolizing Family Unity
Historically, the concept of family included not only the lord of the house but also the group of people and slaves living with him. Today, family refers to those connected by marriage, kinship, or adoption.
