Travel Tattoos with Meanings

Every traveling must have some interesting stories and memories to bask on.  While photographs and videos are the best ways for remembrance, we cannot carry them with us for 24x7. That’s where tattoos win over them since they became a part of our body and remain forever. People who are obsessed with traveling embellish their bodies with impressive wanderlust tattoos for this reason. Here are a few travel tattoos with meanings that travelers around the world submitted on request.

Aeroplane Tattoo

This tattoo of a flying aeroplane speaks the mind of the bearer to embark on a journey of discovery.



Earth & Compass Tattoo

The earth is a big continent, and one can easily lose his or her way. If so, this compass will help to navigate.



Merging passion with career

The bearer of this tattoo works in travel and says she grew up traveling. She got inked on her ribs before she headed for a backpacking trip to South America for six months.


Wear what you believe

The reason for getting inked with the word “GO” on the forearm is to show solidarity  with one's belief. That's what the bearer of this tattoo has done. For him, it serves as a motto, mantra, and inspiration. It reminds him of whatever he does; it is for some reason.


No matter how tough life gets, or how bad the day is at work, he has to bear it for the luxury of the traveling and to witness all the “firsts” life has stored in.


Home is where the heart is

This traveler has lived away from his home country for 10 years, and believes home is where the heart is. That’s why he printed the picture of a globe with the title on his back.



Thai Tattoo

Traveling doesn’t just need money, but good luck and protection against disease and evil as well. So for luck and protection, she got a tattoo with bamboo on a trip in Thailand, which is a Thai tradition.



Coordinates Tattoo

The coordinates of Hawaii on the side of her ribs reminds her about the beautiful two months she spent there. For her, the tattoo is about finding herself, in case she is lost.



Latitude and Longitude Tattoo

This tattoo on a biceps that shows latitude and longitude with a map reminds the wearer where he comes from and where he is going.



When souls meet

It’s amazing how traveling brings two souls from a different background together. The submitter of this image says she went to a Contiki Trip (Europe) in 2013 where she met her Australian friend and soul sister. A year later, she visited her again in Australia and they both decided to turn their friendship for life with this tattoo. Since they are from different continents, for one the tattoo represents Sun and for another, the moon.


Symbolizing one’s nature

When the heart longs for “wild,” what’s a better way to remind one by inscribing the word “Wild” on the forearm?



Tattoo signifying love

When you love something, why not get it tattooed and have it on you for lifelong. The wearer of this “Palm” tree tattoo has done exactly that. He just loves palm trees and got it inked in Sri Lanka for free from a French Guy living in Thailand.


Aren't these tats enough to incite you to pack bags and dash out? So next time you embark on a trip, get it inked about something special of that place as a remembrance for eternal.
