Tattoos that make you want to travel might just be the best kind of tattoo to consider! It is the kind of tattoo that you get as a reminder to travel, to see the world, to go exploring. I have a tattoo specifically placed on my right forearm right above my wrist that says ‘smile’ as a reminder to always smile. Travel tattoos have the same idea. Check out my faves below.
Tattoos That Make You Want to Travel
The World

‘Phoebe got the whole world’ remember that line from Friends when Rachel and Phoebe got tattoos? I wasn’t always in love with this one, but it’s growing on me. Something about seeing all the countries ‘flat’ on my wrist or somewhere I can see it all the time would be a constant reminder of my need for travel and how I am going to get there. It doesn’t have to be big, something simple, like just the outline in a place you will see it all the time.
The Airplane

This might seem like an obvious one, which might not be appealing to you but hear me out. I am all about placing those things that you want in life, right in front of you. What better way than to make it permanent? Airplanes get us from place to place faster than any other way. It might even be the symbol of travel. I am not saying you have to get a Boeing 747 from Southwest on your forearm but think about a simple outline of a plane on your wrist, or ankle.
A Compass

I love old, vintage images. A compass is a vintage image of travel that is still used today. What does a compass do? It guides you to where you need to go. Think about that for a moment.

I was not always a big fan of tattooed words. I preferred an image that represented what I was trying to say. However, there is something powerful about words. You have endless options as well. I like simple reminders such as ‘live fearlessly’ and ‘wanderlust’. The great thing about tattoos is that no one other than you needs to know what it means!
‘GO’

I absolutely love this one! It might just be my next tattoo. The ‘O’ could also be the world and signify travel (obviously). If it were me, I would put it in a place I could see all the time, small but visible. A constant reminder to just ‘GO’. Travel where you want, life is too short and the world too big to be putting it off until the planets align just right. That is my favorite thing about tattoos that make you want to travel, they give you that inspiration every day.
I love tattoos, and especially ones that have special meaning to you. My favorites are the tattoos people ask you about because it is not obvious as to why you have it. I have yet to have a tattoo symbolically representing the travel I have done and still have to do, but I may be making my next appointment soon!
Those are all so lovely! I like the detail on the compass!
You’re right, those tats do make me want to travel. I’ve had traveling on my mind since the start of a new year.
These are some great ones. I really like the world map. That one would definitely be a good reminder.
These are all beautiful. I love the airplane looks like i want to have this on my back
I do not have a tattoo at this point. I really would like to get one but more for my family not travel. I do like the tattoo that says go it’s so simple I love it.
I Have a lot of tattoos, but they are personal things to me, not random travel related ones. I like that plane one 🙂
What cool tattoos! I really love the compass one.
Those tattoos looks cute and cool! Love the script.
These are awesome! I have been thinking about getting a travel tattoo. This makes me want to get one even more.
I like to travel but I don’t like tattoos. The thought of someone drilling a needles in my skin hurts already.
love that airplane and Go tattoo! would love to have one if im brave enough haha
These are beautiful. I’m not one for tattoos, though. I don’t like needles lol
I love tattoos! I have 8 of them. These are great! They all mean something to me and symbolize something special.
These are some great looking tattoos, though I don’t love having a tattoo on my skin anytime. I love the World Map theme & that cute compass that relates to travel so much.
These are cute! I am not a Tattoo person, but I would love a print of some of these. I love the world one on the back and the little airplane! That would be great on a silver bracelet! Thanks
