Birds
Next to airplane, a travel tattoo of birds indicate freedom, and ability to move and hover around the world while perching where seems promising for a quick rest. Birds live in the sky, so as an obsessed traveler, if the sky is your home, then go for this tattoo.
Elephant

This travel tattoo of a simple arrow compass really makes a bold statement on how you’re influenced by the desire to travel to the four corners of the world when the wind of obsession comes blowing.
World Map

Anchor

Mountains
If your best places ever are dominated with beautiful mountains, relive your travel experience every day by getting a travel tattoo of mountains. Also, if it’s in a snowy area, get some snow above it or even the sun and some trees – for some more fun.
Space Objects
The sun, moon and stars are well above us and that’s what you’re mostly staring at from the plane as you travel the world. How about you get a travel tattoo of space objects to bring back their beautiful sights to your memory.
Beach

City
Wanderers and travelers always miss home. If you need a constant ‘home call’ or a reminder of your roots and where you come from, get a travel tattoo of your city. Well, you can also get a travel tattoo of a beautiful city you love so much, whether it’s your home or not.
