The bond shared between sisters goes deeper than blood. Its strength comes from shared experiences, a collective history, and an unbreakable love. Even those who did not grow up together feel a sense of connection that surpasses space and time.
A sense of sisterhood can occur outside of the family, too. Many women describe their closest friends as sisters. When this word is used instead of simply "friend," it denotes a deeper connection. It describes unconditional love and a soul friendship that cannot be replaced.
This is why tattoos are such a popular way to commemorate this sacred relationship. They provide a permanent reminder of the strength and love between them. And they allow sisters to express their bond in a truly unique way.
There are endless tattoo designs that would be perfect for you and your sis. Today we’ll share our top 10 sister temporary tattoos!
#1. Matching 'Big Sis' and 'lil sis' Tattoo
Simple and to the point, there will be no mistaking the relationship between you and your sis with these tattoos. A sister's place in the family often shapes her personality, and this design reflects that. The elder is often seen as the protector and leader, while the younger is viewed as the innocent one who needs guidance.
This design reflects that you value your roles and appreciate how they have shaped your personalities. We have two options for you to choose from: 'Big sis' 'lil sis' temporary tattoo or the 'Big sis' 'lil sis' semi-permanent tattoo (lasts up to two weeks!).
#2. 'Sister' Word Tattoo

You might choose to get this tattoo on your own or get a matching one with your gal(s). Try out our handwritten ‘sister’ sticker tattoo or the 2-week version for a design that lasts much longer.
This tattoo can be as simple or embellished as you like. You can choose any font, size, and color that represents your relationship. For those who want a design with a special touch, we recommend our 'sisters' love fake tattoo, which includes a heart for a whimsical touch.
#3. Infinity Symbols
The infinity symbol is understood worldwide as a representation of an eternal bond. It can represent never-ending love, loyalty, and friendship. What better way to commemorate your sisterhood than with a tattoo that symbolizes eternal bonds?
