Travel Tattoo Inspiration

Travel souvenirs can range in price and permanency. This travel tattoo inspiration is perfect if you’re looking for something that will remind you of your trip forever. Over the last few years, more of our travelers have wanted to culminate a Group Trips with a travel tattoo.

After our first group trip to Cuba, one of our travelers got FGT (Fat Girls Traveling) tattooed on her arm. After our Juneteenth Mexican Retreat, one of our travelers got a native Mexican flower tattooed on her wrist. I have line work of my home state, California tattooed on my wrist. While traveling in Thailand pre-COVID, I linked up with an FGT Member who also had a travel tattoo that honors her California roots.

Twinning Tattoos
Last year, on the final day of the Iceland Tour, half of our travelers scheduled tattoos at a local queer woman-owned tattoo shop, Feyrún Tattoo in Reykjavik, Iceland. Two travelers who became fast friends during the tour got matching travel tattoos.

I’ve always considered tattoos a form of art, and the body a one big, beautiful canvas. There are so many unique experiences that can inspire a travel tattoo. From a delicious meal to a dreamy sunset, this travel tattoo inspiration will get you excited to commemorate your next trip.
