These tattoos draw inspiration from family symbols, children’s art, birth details, nature images and more.

Each tattoo idea is specifically for moms with four kids who want tattoos that highlight “four” and their unique family size. I like the simple tattoo ideas that subtly pay tribute to each child’s birth, like a bouquet birth month flowers.

Let’s check out the tattoos!

1. Minimalist four foxes

I love the minimalist sketch style of this four fox tattoo. It looks cool and is a subtle way to symbolize having four kids in your “pack.”

2. Number 4 tattoo

Simply using the number four as a tattoo is an obvious mom of 4 tattoo idea. What I like about this straightforward idea is that the number four can be personalized in endless ways. Here, the 4 is made feminine with a flower and vine.

3. Birth times

Children’s birth times would make a tattoo that is unique only to you. It could also be done in endless fonts to match your personality or style. I like that it is also a minimalist tattoo that could be done small and on anywhere on the body.

4. Four kids

Next is a tattoo that shows four children. The tattoo above uses simple stick figures holding hands. Want a more simple mom tattoo? Use only the children’s images and not the surrounding design.

5. Four elephants

Elephant tattoos feel timeless and I like the simple line sketch style of the elephants above. The tattoo could be personalized by changing the size of the elephants to match ages, like the one above symbolizing two old kids and two smaller young kids.

6. Children’s art

Using children’s art is meaningful and also an absolutely unique-to-you tattoo design. In the example above, each child draws a tree to make a “forest” to represent the four kids. The trees also have a cool nature vibe.

7. Four seasons

Another way to honor having four kids is to use symbols that traditionally come in fours. I love the example above that is a tattoo of the four seasons. This could also be done where you use the symbols for the seasons of each child’s birth.

8. Four small hearts

If you’re looking for a simple and small mom tattoo, four hearts is an obvious option. I like the version shown here with the hearts in a vertical line instead of horizontal — it’s a little more unexpected and fresh.

9. Four daisies

Flowers always make for beautiful tattoos and you’ll find a few variations on this list. Here, four daisies represent four children.

10. Four minimalist flowers

Another flower tattoo design for four kids could be to do more simple and minimalist flowers. These could be personalized by using birth month flowers too.

11. Baby names

Using your children’s names as a tattoo in a pretty font is such a classic mom tattoo idea. I made this example because I loved the motion and interest of this handwriting font.

For moms with older kids, I really love the idea of using their own handwritten names instead of a font. I find the early preschool handwriting names so so heartwarming.

12. Morse code

Morse code could be a chic and unique tattoo, and also could be done as a small mom of four tattoo since the style is so flexible.The design above is morse code initials for each child.

13. Four birds

I love a bird tattoo. They feel very on trend, with a cool nature vibe. Here, each bird represent a child, but you could vary the type of birds to match your kids unique personalities.

14. Four leaf clover

Here’s another example of using a “four” symbol to honor having four kids. A four leaf clover highlights the luck and specialness of four. It also flexible and would make an easy small mom tattoo.

15. Children’s handprints

Using miniaturized versions of your kids’ handprints would be a very meaningful and truly unique mom tattoo since only that mother would ever have those prints.

16. Four connected hands

If you can’t get your kids to sit still for doing handprints, you could also go with four hands as a symbol of your kids. Here the hands are connected to symbolize the connectedness of the family.

17. Birth weights

Using your children’s birth weights in a pretty font is a subtle way to celebrate their births. Plus, it is definitely unique since no one else would ever have the same birth weights.

18. Four animals

A set of any animal in fours is another mom of 4 tattoo idea. Here, we revisit the foxes as more realistic drawings instead of minimal sketches. You could also do each of your kids favorite animals if they make sense as a set.

19. Birth month flower bouquet

A bouquet of the birth month flowers is a subtle and feminine tattoo for a mom. A flower bouquet is a cool idea if you want to progressively add to the tattoo after each child’s birth too.

20. Four elements

Finally, we close the list with a tattoo of the four elements — earth, wind, water and fire. This is another “comes in fours” set tattoo and it could highlight the uniqueness of each of your kids.
