Mums share beautiful tribute tattoos to their children
Mums took to our Facebook page and our forum to share their body art - featuring their children's faces, names, birth dates and other symbolic images...
Here at MFM HQ, we have to say we LOVE ex-TOWIE star Dan Osborne' tattoos of his kids, Ella and Teddy.
And we know lots of you have used ink to pay tribute to your little ones - not always with detailed portraits like these, but in so many other creative and equally beautiful ways.
Here are some of our mums' amazing tribute tattoos for their children...
