30 Cool Dudes With Sweet Mom Tattoos
It's hard to imagine many people who have more of an impact on our lives than our moms do -- and that goes for women and men ... even men who like to pretend they're the toughest, coolest guys around. Plenty of men out there get tattoos for their moms, because what better way to pay tribute to her than with a little permanent art?
All of these tattoos are mom-approved -- because they are all for mom. There is something about a guy with a mom tattoo that just melts the heart and makes even the toughest-looking guy seem like a softie. We've rounded up some of our favorite mom tattoos on men just so we can say "Awww... love that."
Though many guys end up opting for the more traditional "mom" tattoo -- the one that features a heart, the word "mom," and sometimes a little something extra -- there are so many ways to make that tattoo (or something totally different) stand out from the rest, representing their own unique bond with their own moms forever.
And after seeing all these cool designs, we noticed is that mom tribute tattoos can be anywhere -- chest, arm, hand, neck, or even face -- and they all give us the same warm and fuzzy feeling. We can't even imagine how much it must have meant to these men's mamas when they saw the tattoos for the first time!
Read on for some of the most awesome, gorgeous mom tattoos out there that represent that special, unbreakable bond between a mother and her son. Try to pick a favorite. it might just end up being impossible!
Don't Forget the Veggies
This one is definitely nontraditional, but pretty adorable nonetheless. Sure, the "mom" banner is usually going over a heart, but here, it's going over broccoli ... and we're sure that it's something meaningful between this son and his mom.
Keeping It Simple
Not every tattoo in dedication to a mother needs to be brightly colored and designed -- sometimes, like in the case of this super simple tattoo, just the word "mom" can convey exactly how much that woman means to her son.
Vintage Love
This black and white tattoo is giving us all the vintage vibes! A play on the traditional mom-in-a-heart style of tattoo, this one includes an arrow and plenty of flowers, which might happen to be something meaningful to the mom in question.
A Sweet Message
This tattoo includes a sweet quote straight from mom herself: "I love you to the moon and back." Combined with the green Hawaiian plumeria flowers, this tattoo definitely stands out from all the rest, but probably would still make this mom proud.
Elaborate & Ornate
Another take on the traditional ... but this time, it's helping this son proclaim his love for his mom loud and proud! Bright colors, birds, roses -- this tattoo has it all, so it's no wonder his mother showed it off on her own Instagram.
In Bright Colors
Everything about this particular tattoo is eye catching, isn't it? The design itself is traditional and clean, but what we really love is the bold color choices and how they look like they were spray painted onto the arm itself.
Mom & a Heartbeat
This tattoo includes love for a mom and a heart, but in a different way entirely. The pretty font says "mom," which fades into a heartbeat ... which fades into an actual heart. Super cute, and says a lot about this son's love for the most important woman in his life.
Mom, But Make it Dangerous
Here's another mom-in-a-heart tattoo, but with an extra hint of tough guy flavor. The heart in this tattoo is made of barbed wire (a popular traditional tattoo element), because even the toughest men out there can love their moms.
All the Love
OK, how cute is this? Yep, that's a cactus in a flower pot, but it's pretty perfect the way it comes together to form a heart, along with the traditional mom banner running across it at the same time. Even better if mom loves plants and cacti!
