Tattoos inked in remembrance of a dear one who has departed for his/her heavenly abode have been in practice for long. Referred to as RIP tattoos or rest in peace tattoos, the carvings on body parts are done as a mark of respect or to show how much the individual, who is no more, is missed. RIP tattoos are of various designs and patterns. People like to add a personal touch in them as they are very special and close to their heart. Some keep it simple and somber while some go for colorful ones. Dates, prayers and names can be also seen inked as part of the design.
At times, funny elements and cartoons are added to tone down the sadness factor. Nevertheless, a RIP tattoo remains close to the wearer regardless of the form it has. The tattoo is a way of strengthening the emotional connect with the soul resting in peace. Do you want to pay your tribute to someone?
