Matching tattoos connect two or more people with one shared idea: siblings, a parent and child, friends, partners or a whole group. There are three ways to match. The simplest is the same design on everyone. The second is a pair that completes itself, such as a sun and a moon, a lock and a key, or two halves of one heart. The third is a shared theme drawn differently for each person, like birth flowers in one style or the same wave at different sizes. The designs above are AI-generated examples, on skin or as flat designs, so you can compare how a pair looks side by side. Small designs on the wrist, ankle, finger and forearm are the most common, because they are easy to line up when you stand together. Agree on the size and style first, then let each person choose a placement that works for them; the same design can sit differently on every body, and how a session feels varies from person to person. Booking together makes the day part of the story.

- Identical, pair or theme: Agree on how you match: the same design, two halves of one image, or one theme drawn for each person.
- Same style, own placement: Keep the style and line weight consistent, then let each person choose where it goes.
- Line it up: If the designs should join when you stand together, test the placement with the stencils side by side.
- Questions for your artist: Ask whether they can tattoo everyone in one visit and how they would adjust one design for different placements.
