A tattoo that commemorates the relationship between siblings will hold a great deal of personal meaning for the wearer. There are many ways to execute a design that will symbolize this relationship, including text.
Text Tattoos
A tattoo with text can mean whatever the wearer wishes, since the words convey the meaning. Text tattoos can be simple and stand alone or be paired with a design. Text can be English or in another language, including those with different alphabets such as such as Arabic or Cyrillic.
For tattoos that are symbolic of brotherhood, a brother's name or date of birth can be used either alone or as a part of a larger design. Text can also be paired with a portrait tattoo using a picture of the wearer's brother, though this complicated design will require a skilled tattoo artist for its execution.
Symbols
There are several symbols that can be used to denote brotherhood. Asian symbols such as the kanji symbol for "brother" are simple, straightforward and translate well as a stand-alone tattoo or as a part of a larger design. "Brotherhood" is another, similar symbol that can be used to symbolize the same concept and that can also be extended to encompass brotherly ties not necessarily linked to a blood relationship.
Matching Tattoos
Getting a matching tattoo is suitable for blood brothers and those who have declared brotherhood for other reasons. This method allows the wearers to choose almost any design to serve their purpose.
Designs such as police, fire and military related pieces are often used to convey brotherhood among members of these organizations. A matching design can be given to every member who wishes to convey their brotherhood.
