Travel is a magical experience that opens you up to new experiences and allows you to meet people you’d otherwise never have a chance to know.
Tattoos can serve as beautiful permanent reminders of the places you’ve been and things you’ve experienced.
World maps or the outline of states and countries you’ve visited can serve as a reminder of the places that hold a piece of your heart. You might even want to start with one corner of the world and add to your tattoo as you build your travel experiences.
Other people might prefer a more general travel-themed tattoo as a way of celebrating their spirit of adventure and exploration. You might choose a symbol of travel that is especially meaningful to you.
Ships, planes, trains and motor vehicles can all make for powerful travel designs when incorporated into a tattoo.
For a more minimalist approach, why not try a compass? The four-star compass has been the guide of world travelers for centuries. It’s perfect for a discreet tattoo on the inner wrist as a daily reminder to keep north as you go about your life.
Other travel tattoos build on the theme of specific travel destinations. Think of all of the features that draw you to your favorite place in the world, then imagine them adorning your body with their permanent beauty.
Palm trees, ocean waves, pine forests, colorful sunsets, tropical flowers and even enigmatic wildlife can all capture the spirit of travel and allow you to carry a little part of your adventuring with you always.
For an even more personalized touch, why not work with your tattoo artist to render a favorite vacation snapshot into a piece of body art to treasure forever?
