I'm not a big fan of tattoos in general anyway, but I think family history is a particularly bad theme for a tattoo, because what if you find a (relevant) mistake in your tree after you have the tattoo done?

Good point!

I have a (not yet complete) family history charm bracelet. The charms represent me, OH and our children and my parents, and then the occupations of my grandparents and great-grandparents and the rest of the spaces will be other occupations that are heavily represented in my tree.

Unfortunately don't have photo's for most of my tree, in fact a few empty lines lol.

I didn't want to print off my tree until I'd filled the gaps but DNA hasn't helped as I hoped.

I had an image of a normal tree tattooed onto someone. That is different though.

I'm not a fan of tattoos but for those that are it is a novel idea.

You'd need a very large body to fit my family tree on!

And you would need a very strange shaped one to display mine! One branch back to pre Domesday, most of the rest hitting brick walls round about 1800.

In the Harry Potter films, Bellatrix has her family tree painted on the wall. But I live in a small flat - I haven't got a wall large enough!
