Stewart Robson Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Being from the north east of England, I'm after a 'mam' tattoo one of these days ;) Yup, I have one. Also a heart and banner with my mother's name, from Scott Sylvia. Any sheet of flash I've painted with mother dedications has 'Mam' somewhere.

Hunter Morrow Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I always thought that was a really risky one. What if you wind up hating your mom? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2213-mothermummom-tattoos/#findComment-36346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cltattooing Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 So since pretty much forever, I'd been bugging my mom to get a tattoo. She can be really socially conservative and definitely came from the "tattoos are trash" generation. After enough bugging, it became pretty clear that she's never going to be tattooed, so I started bugging her to come with me to get a mom tattoo so she can be a part of the process and get a feel for how rad the shop environment is. That kept getting pushed back farther and farther until I realized again that it wasn't going to happen. So basically, I gave her the "you're going to be part of tattooing whether you like it or not" talk, and told her that if she wasn't going to participate as a third party, she can participate as a first party and tattoo me instead. So she did. :cool: isn't it terrible? I love it so much. It's supposed to be a bear, looks kind of like a weasel, 100% precious and motherly. Moms rule!

cltattooing Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Haha, thank you! It was really fun. I had her practice the design on pigs feet for a few hours to get a sense of how a machine runs and feels. It took about half an hour, she was really proud of herself and I could tell she enjoyed the experience a lot.

Kahlan Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 That's so awesome! I want very close people in my life to tattoo small ones on me. I love when people get involved artistically. Such a big part of life. cltattooing 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2213-mothermummom-tattoos/#findComment-66517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mom tattoos are really special, I'm glad that she got to see it before she passed. And in my opinion, tattoos don't always have to be technically outstanding to be good tattoos. A lot of it is in the intention of the tattoo and the personal meaning that you are embodying. Thanks for sharing that (: @guitguy she's 54 :p SacramentoDan and guitguy 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2213-mothermummom-tattoos/#findComment-66531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HettyKet Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't have a one and I don't think I'll get one either, our relationship is rather, erm, complex. I do really like them though, this one from Bob Geerts (@bobeus on instagram) is rather nice, I thought.

Zaftiggurl Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So my Mom is 70, and we also have a rather complex relationship. However, she very nearly died on me two weeks ago, was in the ICU, and now she's still in hospital. I've been visiting nearly every day. Despite the complexity of our relationship, I realized how devastated I'd be if I lost her (my father passed away when I was 16). Now I am considering (if I survive my first tattoo) getting something for her - not a literal "Mom" tattoo, but maybe a hummingbird, her favourite bird. As an aside, she's been delirious for a while, and I'm so happy that her mental capacity is coming back. Yesterday she suggested that instead of getting a tattoo, I should commission the artist to draw me something nice on paper. el twe, TattooedMumma and Hands On 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2213-mothermummom-tattoos/#findComment-112642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntTudie Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Bad pic, but have been wanting this for some time. Not so much for my mom, as for me being a mom.

Hands On Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 When I was young, my mom used to always sing while she curled her hair in the morning. Que Sera Sera was one of her go to songs and it stuck in my memory... now it's stuck in my leg. The Sly and the Family Stone version is way more my style than Doris Day though... https://youtu.be/v7G5MIpFui4 Tattoo is by Jill Bonny. It's not a portrait or likeness of my mom... i just asked for a gypsy with a bandana, curly hair, roses, the song title and let her do her thing. polliwog, ThatGuy, sophistre and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2213-mothermummom-tattoos/#findComment-112674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about ideas of alternatives to the traditional heart, but couldn't think of any that seemed fitting.

UglyButProud Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I got a "mom" heart tattooed on my wrist as an ode to the woman that gave me life. I also thought at the time, it would stop her from nagging about all the tattoos i was getting. See, I was inspired (sort of) by my dear mom having a small tattoo on her back a being in awe of how many people complemented her on it.... When I showed her the mom tattoo I got on my wrist "for her", she wasn't impressed and said... "I hope that's the last one" Love you mom!!! kimkong, ThatGuy and sophistre 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2213-mothermummom-tattoos/#findComment-114952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
