Get Inspired by These Thoughtful and Tender Sister Tattoos!

Love You

“Love you most” and “Love you more,” these sister tattoos say. While these designs are similar the shading on the flowers is slightly different for each. It’s important to make sure your tattoo appeals to you on its own not just when you’ve got it next to your sister’s design.

Face to Face

How extraorinary is this very minimalist tattoo of two sisters’ faces? It looks both emotional and heartfelt as well as sophisticated and cool. Work with an artist who can capture both your likenesses and you will not regret it!

Two Sparkles

For sister tattoos, you don’t have to get overly sentimental or put too much thought into it. Something that you both like and can share is the name of the game. These tattoos are more symbols of shared love than anything else.

The Trio

These matching heart and roses tattoos belong to two sisters and a mom! If you want to get mom in on the ink action, you should ask. Simple yet elegant and beautiful, these are some winning designs.

Twinning with the Twigs

The color-coordinated shoes really did for us. These delicate twig tattoos in differing colors look fantastic and would be easy to hide should one of you need to.

Tarot

Tarot tattoos are a huge trend today. We find two sisters with them here in contrasting sun and moon schemes. We think these would be really fun as sister tattoos and you could get really creative with them.

Bountiful Bouquets

Here’s another way to go about it. These sister tattoos are also nature-inspired with differing colors for added interest and personality. Get your sister’s favorite color tattooed on you and it will remind you of her each and every day!

Kid Sisters

Find a pleasant photo of the two of you and ask your artist to riff on it for you. We find these minimal line drawings of two sisters here which just looks so charming and sweet.

I & II

If you’re not looking to make a huge commitment, consider getting something as simple as Roman numerals. While it might be just a numeral to onlookers, these sister tattoos will be meaningful for both of you.

Do Your Thing

We find two Mandala-inspired sister tattoos here one with a sunflower and the other with a friendship-yellow rose. As you can see, the artist has completed both with plenty of care and made each design look so wonderfully special.

More Sun and Moon

Here are a couple of truly remarkable sister tattoos. One is a beautifully ornate sun with the words “energy never lies” written below. The other is an equally decorated moon with the words “trust your vibes” underneath. These are definitely words to live by!

You Make the Rules

If you and your sister dance to the beat of your own drum, get weird with it. We find matching sister tattoos here of a wolf and a penguin. These designs are likely very meaningful to these sisters but they are opaque for onlookers.

Double Roses

As we said with the star sister tattoos earlier, as long as you both love the design it does not need to be overly specific to feel meaningful. We find two line-drawing roses here with the word “sis” tattooed into each “stem.”

Nesting Dolls

A very good idea for sister tattoos is to get some nesting dolls with your BFF or sisters. These magical-looking dolls are so full of whimsy and that quality definitely translates into tattoo form.

Rainbow Koi

While most of the sister tattoos we have looked at thus far have been black ink, you can go the complete opposite direction. These sisters chose to go full-on color and their tattoos look like a blast.

Promises

Of all the sister tattoos we came across there were a ton of these pinky promise tattoos. We imagine that you and your sister are thick and thieves and you don’t even need to worry about those pinkies for kept promises but it’s a very cute sentiment!

Heart Anchors

How cute are these little hearts? We find each attached to an anchor which can symbolize so many things to so many people. If your sister is your rock, sister tattoos like these will be perfect for you two!

Stylish Butterflies

Wow! These butterfly sister tattoos look completely original thanks to the weird, wavy thing happening inside the wings. If you’re going to do something as common as a butterfly, it’s wise to make them unique somehow so that fit you.

Take My Hand

These sister tattoos are some of the most sentimental on the list. We find each carrying the promise to always be there. With just simple lines, you can have yourself designs that truly come from the heart.

Opposites

Blue and orange are opposite each other on the color wheel but they look so good right next to one another! We love the sister tattoos that match but feature different colors because they express a degree of individuality. You’ll be happy with something similar, no doubt!

Bring It On

“Come what may,” these sister tattoos say. A touch sentimental but touching this simple message echoed is a great idea.

Burning

We love these sister tattoos because if you did not see them together, you would think it’s just a cool tattoo. But, together we see that they are flipped with the flames in black in one and skin tone on the other. That’s straight fire!

The Lighthouses

Aren’t these lighthouse tattoos stunning? There’s so much going on that it’s hard to choose just a couple of things to point out.

These two knocked it out of the park!

A Family Portriat

There’s just tons of sweetness in this tattoo of mom holding her two little girls. If you and your sister want to get something to celebrate your mother, something like this would absolutely be cherished for life.

Meow!

Feel free to get weird with your sister tattoos. These two did and we must admit they are some of our favorites on our list. Yes, we love a good cat tattoo but when it’s shared between BFFs or sisters it’s even more precious!

To the Heavens and Beyond

The message, “I love you to the heavens and beyond… forever and ever,” is duplicated in these sister tattoos. The message sits above a flower for each which helps bring personality to these designs. It keeps them from being too matchy.

The Disney Girls

Did you and your bestie grow up loving to watch the same movie together? Perhaps it was a classic like The Lion King. Disney tattoos remind us of being kids which is why they are so very popular among adults. Timon and Pumbaa look fantastic here in silhouette for these sister tattoos!

Blue Dream

Watercolor tattoos are a huge trend at the moment so it came as no surprise to find sister tattoos that feature the cool style. Bleeding blue “paint” looks otherwordly on these two buggy tattoos.

Red Will Do It

If you’re going to go all in, go all in! We find this pair with matching red butterflies up their necks. You’re lucky if you have a sister or bestie that’s this committed as most just want something small. Red always looks fantastic and we recommend using it over black ink!

For Luck

How about these super-fine lines for these tiny tattoos? They turned out extremely well. We imagine these sister tattoos bring good fortune.

These Two

We find “one of two” in a beautifully crisp font for these two sister tattoos. If you’re going to get script, make sure to take plenty of time to choose the one that’s going to look the most unique.

Ice Cream Dream

Ice cream is just the greatest thing on earth and these two know what’s up! We find two ice cream cones that are similar but not exactly the same for these dairy-loving friends. If you want to be reminded of the best days of summer with your sister, you should do something similar!

Stamped

Beaming with Pride

These sister tattoos are so special as they both express Pride. Just simple bars of rainbow color make these designs look so vibrant and full of self-acceptance. We live!

So Much Love

Of all the sister tattoos we saw, hearts were the most ubiquitous designs. And, we mean that in a good way! Hearts are symbols that express love and you don’t need to reinvent the wheel for great designs. We find two hearts formed from flowers in these very pretty tattoos.

The Prints

Among family tattoos, thumb prints worked into a heart shape are popular. It’s easy to see why. These tattoos look sweet and are very personal with an actual indexical image contained in each. It is a common design scheme but still a good one.
