Placement of a world map tattoo can be anywhere you would like. If you decide to get a globe to represent your world tattoo, then you can practically fit this piece anywhere that fits your style. You can get a globe on your wrist, ankle, arm, leg. The options are endless so just make sure you choose somewhere that you like or that goes well with your other work. If you decide to get a map to represent your world tattoo, then placing the tattoo on your back would be a great option not only for the room that you are allowed there, but also because it will be a large flat area. This large flat area will make it easy to get clean, crisp lines in as well as add to when you decide to fill in countries with color or symbols. If you don’t want to cover your entire back, consider getting this tattoo on one of your shoulder blades. This will still allow you to utilize the best flat space available. Unless you are getting a world tattoo on your bicep or thigh, you typically don’t want to get this tattoo anywhere that will bend or twist too much as that will distort your image. Just remember, if you do decide to get this tattoo, get it somewhere flat so it will look clear and concise.

There are many styles when it comes to world tattoos. A map and a globe are the most common ways to represent your world map in a tattoo. However, you can choose to get geographical symbols such as a compass, coordinates or arrows to represent your world map as well. Outlines of the map or detailed 3D images are ideas to help you get your map tattoo started. You can also get a 3D globe highly detailed with color or a simple black and gray globe. Both options are great when depicting your world tattoo.

You can choose to get this tattoo with just the globe or map. Another option would be to get a globe or map tattoo then incorporate some geographic symbols into the tattoo. An example of this could be getting an outline of the world map and then getting some north, south, east and west signs along with the tattoo. Remember that people who will commonly get this tattoo love to travel. So, incorporate some creative travel motifs into your tattoo as well to really make it pop. You can also get matching world tattoos with your favorite travel buddy. You can do identical tattoos that match each other or get half of the world map on one person and the other half on the other. Another idea for your world tattoo design could be to get a world outline with a globe intertwined into the map. This would allow you to have the flat layout of the world showing all of the continents and locations in the world, while also showing the roundness and depth of our world through the globe.
