One of the most symbolic tattoos, of course, is the body image of the family tree.

This is a huge direction that can include both classic minimalist sketches and sophisticated avant-garde works.

The family tree is a visualization of related relationships, an image that reflects complex and deep relationships.

The most common depiction of the family tree is a tree with roots representing ancestors and branches of descendants. However, other obvious options are possible. The tree of family connections can be very detailed and include information on birth, marriage, divorce and death, containing detailed information about each family member or whole genus.

The tattoo depicting the family tree has a deep symbolic significance of the close connection of man with his ancestors, the history of the family. In addition, the tattoo with a family tree testifies to the priority of family values for its holder, responsibility to children and future generations, the desire to preserve family traditions.

Tattoo with family tree can be made in a huge number of techniques.

It is difficult to imagine what style this image would look bad or inappropriate. Here are just some techniques:

• Watercolor. The watercolor tattoo looks refined and airy. It is often supplemented by various elements - colors, birds or other symbols that are close to you and your family.
• Blackwork. Tattoo family tree in this style can look incredibly spectacular and stylish, very graphic and minimalistic - due to the predominance of black in the drawing. Working with negative space will make this image very unusual.
• Minimalism. Family tree in minimalist style is the image of a small tree with branches and leaves. Family names can be written on the branches. Another great option is to style the names as branches or roots of the tree. Minimal detail and simple lines make this style ideal for those who do not like too bright and catchy tattoos. Colors are usually used muted and quiet, which allows a sense of harmony and peace.

• Lettering. Lettering is a style of writing that is characterized by the use of voluminous and expressive letters. In this style, the tree may be in the form of an inscription, where each branch is a name. The letters are executed in different styles, from classical to modern. Colors - bright and rich to emphasize the individuality of each member of the family.
• Realism. A realistic family tree is often depicted with many details such as leaves, branches, roots, and even animals that inhabit a tree. The colors used are vivid and realistic to create the feeling that the tree really exists. The contours can be very thin and detailed to convey each branch and leaf.

• A Celtic-style tree is usually depicted as a complex pattern consisting of intertwined branches and leaves. The pattern can be made in the form of a spiral, symbolizing eternity and continuity of life.
