16 Celebs With Tattoos For Their Kids
Truth be told, there are some seriously questionable celeb tattoos out there (Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner's matching tats of each other's names immediately spring to mind). But one type of ink stars will never, ever regret is the kind that honors their children. In fact, there are perhaps a surprising amount of celebrities who have tattoos for their kids: portraits of their offspring, ink of their children's names, or any type of design that somehow represents their kids. It's a permanent reminder that their kids will always be with them, and a permanent way to show their children just how much they mean to their parents.
Forget whipping out a faded school photo from their wallet like an average parent — these stars instead show off their proud parent status by inking reminders of their children on their bodies for life. No matter what fame and fortune, incredible career heights or great successes these celebs have achieved, without a doubt, their proudest accomplishment will always be their kids. Permanently.
