Travellers have long enjoyed collecting souvenirs to remember their adventures around the globe. But these days, many are opting for something far more lasting than a postcard, T-shirt or snow globe. It’s all part of a trend known as “tattourism”. Here’s what you should know about this highly personal and permanent shift in the world of souvenirs. What is tattourism?“Tattourism” – or tattoo tourism – refers to the practice of travelling with the intention of getting a new tattoo in a certain destination.“It blends self-expression with adventure, often creating lifelong memories through body art,” Julia Pandolfo, senior director of marketing for Moxy Hotels NYC, told HuffPost.While some travellers might choose to get inked on a whim, she explained that “tattourists” tend to travel specifically for the purposes of getting a tattoo – whether from a famous artist, in a culturally significant place or just as a meaningful way to commemorate a trip.“Some travellers might mark their life-changing trip with a photo or trinket, while others walk away with a piece of living art on their bodies as a souvenir,” said
