Matryoshka dolls are also known as Babushka dolls and have always caught my attention. In my opinion, they look like generational dolls, that is, they transmit the birth of the different generations between women (great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, daughter…). These dolls are very popular throughout Russia.
These Matryoshka dolls They are made of wood and very folkloric by the colors that are usually painted. There are people who tattoo Matryoshka dolls, but they really have cultural roots that it does not hurt to know to understand that people decide to tattoo these interesting dolls.

Colors
This doll is usually painted as a peasant woman with many flowers, and it really is quite a work of art to tattoo on the body. Why do I consider it a work of art? Because there are no color limits, but to be consistent it is better to focus on three or four colors at most, so the impact will be greater.
Some great colors for Matryoshka wrist tattoos are black, pink, ivory, red, blue, yellow, white, green, red, or purple.
Tattoo ideas
An idea to tattoo a Matryoshka doll is to do it so that it represents the siblings of a family, going from oldest to least, with the eldest son being the one with the largest design and the youngest being the one with the smallest design. Thus, the size of the tattooed wrist will depend on the order of birth. It is an excellent idea!
The parts of the body where these dolls tend to be best are: on the forearm, on the biceps or on the leg, so if you want to tattoo more than one doll you will have space to do it.
Which represent?
These dolls represent friendship, family, fairy tales, travel, and culture. Would you get your Matryoshka dolls tattooed?
