Cartography Nerds: 10 Awesome Map Tattoos

WE here at frankylicious are big tattoo fans and urgently need more ink ourselves. Recently the attention was drawn to this gorgeous whole back world map tattoo and today we have some more cool map tattoos to show you.

The whole world, tattooed over both feet is a great concept and it looks ace. Too bad that Britain is barely visible and Eurasia and Africa need both feet. Ace tattoo though.

In the same spirit this world map spread over both cheeks. It is not clear if this is a tattoo or a temporary airbrush, but no matter what it is this makes anyone want to explore the desert.

If you prefer it more old-style this original world map is for you. Again both cheeks are needed.

Cool colours, not too clear what Western part of the world in this image. It looks like distorted Britain, with a splash of Scandinavia or something like that.

Awesome Australia map tattoo.

The Galapagos Archipel.

The Philippines, together with the surname of the owner.

The last ‘cheeks map’ in this list. Again it is hard to see if this is a real tattoo. My bet goes to a temporary airbrush. It does clearify that the Middle East is in shit though.

This is how our galaxy would look from a distance.

The last tattoo map is a tattoo for all geeks. Better than a map of the Middle Earth this is the map of Thrór, the King under the Mountain at Erebor.
