Rip Tattoos to Remember a Loved One

Losing someone you care for can be heartbreaking, so getting a tattoo as a memorial to them and to their memory is a meaningful way to commemorate and pay our respects.

Flying Dove RIP Tattoo

A flying dove symbolizes that the soul of a deceased individual has found rest in heaven, making this design ideal for a rip tattoo.

Cross RIP Tattoo

An angel wings or dove tattoo can be an elegant way to remember a loved one who has passed. A cross tattoo can be created as a simple design, or it may include hearts, poems, and flowers to express our sympathies for their passing. This RIP tattoo displays a cross with wings that extend from it.

Grandma RIP Tattoo

This tattoo features an image of a grandma of someone who has died with “RIP” written under it. Not only will this be a constant reminder for family members who miss them dearly, but it can also add style and sophistication.

Angel Wings RIP Tattoo

Angel wings tattoos are an increasingly popular way for those wanting to remember someone special since people believe angels were sent from above to keep us safe and protect those closest to us. Tattoo ideas that memorialize loved ones often feature a black cross with two intricate angel wings attached; the focus of this tattoo idea is “RIP, Mom.” An attached banner reads:

Forearm RIP Tattoo

Forearm tattoos are one of the most sought-after spots for placing a RIP tattoo due to being visible and accommodating more intricate designs. Additionally, getting one in this location tends to be less painful than getting a tattoo somewhere else on the body.

Angel Wings and Hearts RIP Tattoo

Tattooing angel wings and hearts to commemorate those who have passed is an excellent way to remember their memory since angel wings represent protection and hearts stand for love.

Birds RIP Tattoo

For those wishing to honor a loved one who has passed on, bird tattoos are an elegant way of remembering them. A bird can stand for any deceased friend or family member and often comes adorned with hearts, flowers, or other designs as a vibrant tribute.

Bob Marley Inspired RIP Tattoo

This tattoo was inspired by Bob Marley’s uplifting song “Every little thing gonna be alright” to show that love and music can bring peace and happiness into life, even during times of hardship and heartache. The sketch-looking lines give this tattoo its traditional American style.

Crow RIP Tattoo

Crows are often seen as bad omens that portend tragedy and death, perhaps due to being carrion eaters themselves. An attractive crow tattoo could be an appropriate symbol to remember someone who has left us, physically or otherwise.

Daggers RIP Tattoo

Dagger tattoos are an ideal way to symbolize death and represent its aftermath. Daggers can convey power and strength and commemorate someone special who has died, with each material carrying different associations – iron may stand for simplicity and humility, while marble symbolizes royalty and status.

Black dagger tattoos make an impactful statement and suit almost any body part, including clavicle or finger knuckles. A striking cobra with its fiery face and dagger piercing through signifies deceit; consider getting their names and death dates written out similarly for an exquisite visual tribute as part of your RIP tattoo design.
