Looking to get your own matching mother daughter tattoo with your own mum or child? Here, we've rounded up some of the most stunning (and clever!) mother and daughter tattoos the internet has to offer, to provide you with a little inspiration...

Text tattoos make a sweet, simple statement

As do little matching symbols

See?

You can ensure you're always holding each other's hands

Or mark your favourite way to spend time together

Especially if the apple really didn't fall far from the tree...

It doesn't matter if the placement is different

Or the design

Or even if only half of the image is on your body

It's the meaning behind that tattoo that counts

Floral designs are a popular theme

As are pets you've shared in the past

But whatever mother daughter tattoo you choose

It'll always be the most important tattoo you've got

And one that you'll never, ever regret

Because it's for the most important women in your life

And what could be more beautiful than that?
