Get Creative with Map and Globe Tattoos!

A map of the world is a super classic design that always looks good. So many of us keep globes in our room and maps on our walls, why not take it one step further and get a tattoo?!

The greatest thing about map tattoos is the image of the map can remain constant, while everything else changes around it. This means that maps can fit in to bicycle wheels, compasses, and abstract designs. A simple map outline tattoo looks great, but so do more complex designs that incorporate shading and/or color. And what's more, you will never be geographically confused again, as you can always refer to your personal map!
