For some people, traveling is a once in a blue moon experience that people overly plan and stress over in the weeks and months leading to takeoff. For others, travel is a way of life, a state of mind, and a major source of inspiration and awakening for the soul.

People who belong to this latter group often approach travel in a different way than the rest of the general population, going so far as to get off the grid for weeks, months, or even years at a time. Or perhaps they travel as a lifestyle, jetting off here, there, and everywhere on a whim.

Some travel enthusiasts choose to wear their travels on their sleeves—quite literally. We found @traveltattoos on Instagram, an account dedicated to people who have inked worldly symbols on their bodies that attest to their love of adventure.

Check out our picks for some of the coolest designs below:
