Travel tattoos

Let your skin tell your travel story

Journeys don’t always begin with a suitcase. Sometimes, they start with a feeling — that quiet pull toward places unknown, skies untraced. For those who dream in flight paths and live for border crossings, our travel tattoos are wearable postcards of your wanderlust. Illustrative, expressive and entirely temporary, they offer a way to mark the milestones without permanence. Perfect for romantics, explorers and anyone who’s ever fallen in love with the world.

Symbols with soul: travel tattoo meanings

Every tattoo in this collection carries meaning — whether it’s for guidance, reflection, or the thrill of open skies. Here’s what some of our most loved designs mean to the people who wear them:

Compass

More than just a navigational tool, the compass represents inner direction. It’s for those who trust their gut over maps — a reminder that even when you feel lost, you’re right where you're meant to be.

Plane

Sleek, simple, celebratory — the plane tattoo captures that take-off moment. Ideal for wanderers and long-distance lovers alike, it speaks of distance travelled and dreams still in the air.

Map

A subtle nod to the geographer within, the world map design is popular among those who’ve stamped their passport one too many times... or not nearly enough. Paired beautifully with shoulder or thigh placement, it whispers adventure from every angle.

Suitcase

There’s something charming about a worn suitcase: scratched corners, hidden mementos. In tattoo form, it becomes a symbol of collected memories — small and expressive, it's lovely worn on the wrist or collarbone.

Designs inspired by the elements

Not all journeys happen on land — or even with a destination in mind. For those drawn to nature’s rhythms, our collection includes ethereal echoes of the natural world:

• Mountain tattoos: For the hiker, the climber, or anyone who’s ever gazed up and felt something stir. These grand designs look inspiring on the back or upper arm.
• Wave tattoos: Fluid, reflective, meditative. A wave on your ankle or ribcage brings the sea to you, wherever you go.
• Anchor tattoos: Ideal for lovers of the coast or anyone in need of grounding energy. Timeless on the forearm or inside wrist.

The mood of the season

Our designs shift with every season — just as your travel dreams do.

Summer escapes ☀️

Think palm trees, paper planes, sun trails over water. Summer-themed travel tattoos shimmer on tanned skin, perfect for festivals, city breaks or beach days.

Winter longing

Even in stillness, there’s wanderlust. Our winter motifs — snow-dusted peaks, distant cabins — are contemplative and quiet. Wear them like stories, warming your skin all season long. See more in our winter tattoos collection.

Moments worth marking

Milestone trip? First solo holiday? Perhaps a long-awaited reunion? Mark the memory with a globe, city stamp or small clock tattoo — a personal emblem of where (and when) your heart travelled.

Where art meets skin: placement ideas

Where you wear your tattoo matters. Some stories need space; others whisper in smaller corners.

• Wrist or inner arm: Ideal for compasses, maps, or symbolic quotes. An everyday glimpse of your journey.
• Back or shoulder blade: Suits larger pieces like landscapes, world maps, even crowns to mark a triumphant return.
• Ankle or calf: Think waves, footprints, anchors — a trail following you with each step.

Packing light with purpose ✈️

All our travel tattoos are vegan-friendly, waterproof, and crafted for comfort — with designs delicate enough for subtle statement or bold enough to stand alone. They last around 5–7 days, easily applied at home, and safe for all skin types. Whether you're searching for a hand tattoo to spark conversation abroad, or something discreet for a festival weekend, Temporalis goes where you go.

Go on then — pack your soul in symbols. Discover the travel tattoos collection and ink the spirit of adventure, with art that feels like a memory already made.
