Some fathers and sons are fortunate enough to have incredibly close bonds. Their relationship goes beyond the boundaries of being family…they’re best friends. These are the kind of people who genuinely enjoy spending time together and are there for one another through thick and thin.

To memorialize their unique connection, they do something extraordinary — they get father-son tattoos. That way, they always have a reminder of who truly has their back and loves them unconditionally. These 30 tattoos are so special, you can’t help but to admire what these fathers and sons share.

Some of these match, others are similar but yet different, and then some are inked on just the father or the son.
