The travelers tattoos They are as different as the travel what can we do. The best way to remember how special a trip has been is to mark our skin forever either with something único of the country we visit or with a more general design, such as a compass or a map of the world.
In any case, in this post we will see some traveling tattoos to inspire you on your next trip around the world.

The travelers tattoos give for many stories and anecdotes. I remember ten years ago when I was studying Chinese in Taipei, I met a guy who impressed me. I was going on a trip to the south of the island, where my friends were waiting for me. To get there as soon as possible, I took a night bus. On the bus, rattling and sliding down the dark roads, I met another Westerner. I was going tattooed from top to bottomexcept one arm, where it had a world map. Some countries were only outlined, others colored.
Another good way to show that we like traveling is with a compass tattoo.
When asked about his traveler tattoo (I was not tattooed at the time, but I was already very attracted to tattoos), the man went through the colored countries with the nail. United States, South Africa, Chile, Norway, Madagascar. I've been to all of them, he said, and someday I'll get to paint the whole map. There was a hint of pride in him in the yellowish light of the silent bus.
Endless roads
In addition to making you a map and paint the countries that you visit (I thought it was a great idea, I often wonder where my traveling companion is and how many countries he has already colored) there are many other good ideas if you want to do travelers tattoos. You can, for example, tattoo a suitcase, or a plane, or something else metaphorical. For example, my partner and I are very fond of road trips. After a trip of more than five thousand kilometers, we decided to tattoo something to remember it: a ball of roads. He has it on his leg and I have it on his ribs.
My tattoo with a ball of roads. It looks a bit weird because taking a selfie on the ribs is not easy.
These are just a few examples of travelers tattoos with whom you can inspire you. Without a doubt, these types of tattoos are like traveling: only. And you, do you have any traveling tattoos? What would you like to tattoo on to remember your next trip?
