Your daughter is your friend for life — the one who’s got your back no matter what, sees you exactly as you are, and somehow knows just when you need a hug. If you and your girl are thinking about matching ink to celebrate that forever bond, here are 22 ideas that feel personal, sweet, and totally you.
