44 Tattoos to Honor Where You Come From

We like to think that every time someone gets a tattoo, there is deep thought behind it. Of course, there's the occasional rushed (ahem, drunken) mistake, but if you're in the process of doing your research, thinking about what kind of ink you want to get, and what event, moment, or memento you want to honor, we have some ideas.

You could choose to get a personal motto or a tribute to your favorite artist, like Selena, but we suggest showing your love for your Latinx roots in a more obvious way. Ink your skin with the flag of your family's home country, get the outline of its map or its name, or go hardcore and get permanently etched with the face of a national hero.
