Having a tattoo with strong symbolism is one of the things that people look for, and family union tattoos are a perfect example of this.

Family tattoos are classics since getting a tattoo is about expressing yourself and respecting a relationship.

The Latin term “family” derives from “famulus”, which derives from the Oscan word “famel”, meaning servant, and, further back, from the Sanskrit word “vama”, meaning room or dwelling.

Family unity themed tattoos

This etymology suggests that the group of people and slaves who shared a home with the lord of the house were considered a family in the past. A family is a group of individuals united by kinship, adoption or marriage.
