Daddy’s girl tattoos aren’t nearly as popular as other love and family tattoo designs, but there are plenty of people out there who get them or are interested in getting them. These are definitely considered to be women’s tattoos, though that’s not necessarily set in stone. Below you will find all of the information you’ll need for daddy’s girl tattoos, including reasons why people decide to get them and some of the most popular styles.
Before we get into the most popular daddy’s girl tattoo designs, we should take a second to go over the “appropriateness” of the term daddy’s girl. In some parts of the world, girls and women don’t call their fathers “daddy,” so the tattoo can look a bit odd to some people.
Add to that the fact that “daddy” is sometimes used as a sexual term and it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that some people think that daddy’s girl tattoos are a bit inappropriate. Actually, though, 99 percent of the daddy’s girl tats that you’ll see are simply representative of the owner’s love for their fathers. Therefore it is in no way inappropriate to get a daddy’s girl tattoo.
The classic daddy’s girl tattoo can be placed anywhere on the body and includes a heart and the literal text “Daddy’s Girl.” There is no set style for this, so anyone who chooses to get this type of tattoo can make it look however they wish. The heart can be tweaked a bit to make it unique and you can also choose to use any font you want. On top of that, you can choose any size to use to make it fit wherever you want it to go.
If you do opt to go with the classic Daddy’s Girl tattoo design, then you will want to think about what you want the heart to look like. Do you want the text going through the heart? Do you want the heart to be red or some other color (you can choose your and your father’s favorite color if you have one)? Do you want it to be a simple heart or do you want there to be extra detail, including shading? Those are the types of questions you should be asking yourself before you commit to a classic daddy’s girl tattoo.
The text in these classic designs is also quite important because you want to choose a font that suits the design and that looks good on your skin. There are thousands of fonts to choose from, which is great but also makes the decision that much tougher. You should have four or five in mind for your design before you get a look at what the final result might look like on your skin. Remember that the text is the most important part of these tattoos so you want to choose something that draws the eye and is attractive.
Some people forgo getting the heart included in their daddy’s girl tattoos and instead just get the text. The fact is that the meaning comes through whether you include a heart or not, so you should only include one if you think it makes the entire design look better. If you do choose to go with the text alone, think about where you want to get it placed and how large you want the text to be.
There are also plenty of other symbols you can include in Daddy’s Girl tattoos that can add to the meaning or just be there for decoration. Some examples of symbols and images you can include are locks and keys, ribbons, birds, tools, butterflies, and anchors. All of these further show your love for your father, whether through the symbols meanings or through memories you have of your father.
Many women will add wings to their daddy’s girl tattoos if their fathers have passed away. These are generally larger designs, but you can also add smaller wings to a tinier tattoo. In either case, you will want to have your tattooist or an artist draw up some beautiful wings to go outside or above the text. They can be as detailed or as simple as you want them to be, but you will definitely want them to fit with the rest of the design.
Choosing a location for your daddy’s girl tattoo can also be a bit tricky. It’s true that they work well as shoulder, wrist, back, or even neck tattoos, but it’s going to depend on your design. A lot of people think of the location first and then come up with the design, but it often works better of you design the tattoo first.
Even if it’s just a text tattoo, you will want to make sure that the words fit well wherever you want to place them. Most tattoo artists will help you through this process, but most women want to be sure that their daddy’s girl tattoos fit perfectly before they even get to the shop.
Even though many daddy’s girl tattoos are quite simple to design, you should still work with a top tattoo artist if you are going to get one of these tats. A good one will recognize that it is a very important tattoo to you and will ensure that you walk out of the door happy no matter how simple or complex the design is. It’s a good idea to check out reviews of tattoo artists in your area.
If you design a daddy’s girl tattoo that can truly show your love for your father, then there’s a great chance that you will love your tattoo for years to come. These are the types of tattoos that women wear with pride since they are expressing how they feel about one of the most important people in their lives.
Just be sure that you take your time throughout the design process and that you find an artist who can make your design look amazing on your skin.
