Right next to Han Solo, there never was a man like Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford’s iconic adventurer swung through our childhoods leaving an unforgettable impression that is well worth a tattoo commemoration.

From whip to Fedora, the figure of Indiana Jones is a wistful reminder to all men that true life awaits where others fear to tread. Whether you’re a lifelong devotee of the franchise or fellow wanderlust sufferer, an Indiana Jones tattoo is the perfect compass and companion.

Indiana Jones lead the kind of life most of us dream of at our desks during the day. Professor, world traveler, archaeologist, and all around badass, Dr. Jones embodied the best of all men. From Nazis to tomb raiders, there was no threat Indiana couldn’t suppress, and it’s worth mentioning that he always emerged with that hat intact. Whatever movie you wish to draw from, and in the rendering the best suits your own spirit and style, your Indiana Jones tattoo will no doubt draw the admiring eyes of passersby. The question remains, who is worthy of joining you on your journey?

We need our heroes more than ever, especially of the Indiana Jones variety. We need more intelligent, educated souls who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and knock out a few bad guys along the way. You no doubt carry some of the Indiana spirit yourself, and none deserve to wear that emblem more than you. Wherever life takes you, Dr. Jones will be right there, book in one hand, bull whip in the other.
