inside: amazing stick figure tattoo ideas that match your favorite people.
Stick figures are one of the first ways we learn to draw humans as children. they’re simple, effective, and leave plenty of room for personality.
children will often draw themselves with their parents and relatives, creating their own family portrait.
so parents can save those photos, put them in a frame and keep them safe that way. or… you can turn them into a tattoo and have them forever immortalized on you.
I think tattoos are an extension of who we are as people and what matters to us. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think every tattoo needs a deep philosophical reason to be on your skin, but most people choose their tattoo based on something they’re passionate about.
Your family falls into that category. A lot of parents get their child’s name or footprint tattooed, but I think it’s really special when you take their drawing, something they created, and make your tattoo out of it. With that said, let’s talk about the meaning behind a stickman tattoo.
what is the meaning of a stick figure tattoo?
A stickman tattoo has some amazing symbolic meanings that can vary from person to person. Like any tattoo, it all depends on the person who does it and their personal experience with that image. A stickman tattoo takes it a step further (when hand-drawn by a family member).
When this is the case, this tattoo will represent your love and devotion to your family. to keep them safe and with you at all times. it is something truly beautiful to dedicate yourself like this to the people you love.
can also be a symbol of childish wonder. stick figures are not only widely associated with children, but also have a childlike feeling of innocence. So if you don’t have kids and you decide to get a stickman tattoo, you’re essentially saying that you’re walking through the world in wonder and innocence.
what is the cost of a stickman tattoo?
A stick figure tattoo generally falls on the cheaper side of the tattoo world. since they are very simple drawings. I’d say you could pay anywhere from $50 to $400 dollars for your tattoo, depending on the size and detail. obviously, the bigger it is, the more it costs.
Most tattoo artists work on an hourly rate so they will tell you how long they think it will take and then figure out how much it will be that way. It’s always important to talk to your artist about the budget before starting your work.
will it hurt?
A stickman tattoo is lighter on the pain scale considering there isn’t much shading and mostly simple line work. but I will say that it largely depends on where you decide to place your tattoo. places in the body that have bones closer to the surface are more painful because there are more nerves near these areas.
The best place to get a tattoo if you’re trying to avoid severe pain would be your forearm, biceps, and thigh. plus, if you’re really interested in putting it in a bony spot, don’t worry! just ask your artist about numbing spray, most tattoo shops carry it.

stickman tattoos for women
While a stickman tattoo doesn’t necessarily scream femininity, there are definitely some that are more of our allies as women. I was considering keeping this list simple and sweet (which is a lot), but I don’t want all tattoos aimed at women to be just flowers and sun.
Don’t get me wrong, those things are great. but women also like to browse and watch rick and morty after a long day.
so if you notice there’s a good mix here, that was the intention.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the different styles of stick figure art that people can use for tattoos, and that you were able to find one that caught your eye.
Remember, if you have drawings of your children or someone you care about, you can have the tattoo artist copy and pass them on. the younger the child, the better the drawing looks.
It’s like immortalizing the child at that point forever, like one of those feet on wheels, but instead of seeing how much he’s grown physically, you get to see how far he’s come artistically!
