Travel tattoos

A tattoo, if you do not subsequently remove it from your skin, connects you with amazing events in your life, with the most dear people or with significant events, the memory of which is not enough. I would like to tell others about what is most dear to you.

A traveller's tattoo associated with a specific meaning is embodied in hundreds of ideas. There are both standard and original solutions. Let's start with a description of the typical ones.

• World map or image, contours of the country with a dot, next to which is written the name of the capital. Or maybe the contours without an inscription - for example, an image of the Philippine or New Zealand archipelago. For some people, many countries are so familiar that it will not be difficult for them to guess that you, for example, depicted Cuba or, say, the state of Hawaii, even without an accompanying inscription.

• One or several cities you like from the satellite. Do you know how, for example, New York or St. Petersburg looks from above? Then the meaning of the outline of the city plan can be made hidden by drawing a city line with the main avenues and the first kilometers of entrance routes, but not everyone will guess what kind of city it is.

• Bird image. Free birds include dozens of species that live in Russia. If a person comes from the Caucasus, then you can depict the coat of arms of a city or republic, on which, for example, there is an eagle or a falcon - but without a coat of arms about what kind of place it is. However, some depict a bird as well - without the emblem.

• Compass, clock, piece of map of an unknown area - a reference to the fact that human time is precious, life is fleeting and you need to hurry, otherwise you will not see and learn much.

• If you are a trucker, you are already partly a traveler. You have traveled a lot of cities, you know all the settlements and stops, for example, on the automobile Trans-Siberian of Russia, at a glance. You can emboss the image of "Scania" or "KamAZ", which is associated with a number of years of your life, in which you fell into different stories.

• Itinerant cyclists emboss the image of a bicycle - and next to them are several names of the cities they liked the most, in which they visited, where they found a lot of subscribers and viewers of their adventures on the Internet. If such a traveler - by interests - met and met his (later) wife, then he will indicate her name, meeting place, date and city (locality) in the tattoo.

In fact, travel tattoo ideas are endless. Some people, not bothering to make a specific choice, emboss on themselves the image of an airplane, a steamer, a favorite car model, a boat on the waves - or themselves as a hiker and adventurer, equipped and ready for new paths-roads.

Unlike men, women are more sophisticated in their choice of tattoos. It can be a heart symbol (either two hearts, or small and large hearts), symbolizing love. Both men and women can accidentally meet their life partner while traveling. Often this happens in all well-known resorts, although there are other places where there are a lot of people.

If you are a lover of hiking alone or a small company, hiking with overnight stays in the forest or mountains, then your theme for a tattoo can be unity with nature, for example: the shore of a lake or river, a cliff with a beach below, etc. The tattoo can be and small (in the form of a thematic icon), and large - several icons, a complex, extensive image (including with one or more inscriptions).

Men most often, tattoos are applied to the area of ​​the projection of the pectoral muscles, on the biceps and triceps of the arms, thighs (below the level of the panties), thumbs and toes. On the back, this can be a projection of the scapula or latissimus dorsi. Unlike men women sometimes tattoos are applied to the belly, upper chest, or one of the breasts. But supporters of tattoos in the area of ​​the muscles of the press (the vicinity of the navel) are also among men. Otherwise, women use all the same places on the body as men.

The general trend is as follows: You don't have to hide the traveler's icon chosen as a tattoo - let others see it. One of the characteristic places is the hand, forearm, or wrist. By doing this, you seem to show the world around you that your credo is openness and easy, interesting acquaintances. After all, without realizing it, some people are ready to help you, especially when you are away from home, and a travel-themed tattoo is one of the easiest ways to demonstrate this.
