Camping Tattoo Ideas

Pine trees, camp fire flames and a comfy camp chair just have an effect on us outdoor enthusiasts – the feelings those memories bring to mind are something pleasant to be reminded about as often as possible!

What better way than through a tattoo?

If this is your first tattoo, you may want to be on the look out for tiny tattoo ideas. These are low commitment, low pain level, and if you are “blank canvas”, it can be hard to adjust to a larger tattoo. And it’s more painful of course (I have eight myself now!)

Campfire Tattoos

One of the best camping tattoos if you love spending time around the fire at the end of the night! There are so many unique designs for this one – you’ll have to decide if you want a “realistic” style or a more traditional camping tattoo style.

Personally, I find it hard to find an artist I trust/know enough to do realism, so I LOVE looking for a more artsy/traditional style.

RV and Tent Tattoo Ideas

There’s always that one campsite that you wish you could just remember forever… and a great way to do that is with a tattoo! Capture that feeling forever with these cool camper and tent tattoo themed tattoos!

RVs and Campers

Tent Tattoo Ideas

Tent camping has the ability to take you all kinds of fun places – after all, they are not near as big and cumbersome as RVs and cars.

My family did a wonderful backpacking overnight in the Grand Teton range in 2021, where I was able to snap an absolutely beautiful picture of our tent that looks the same level as the clouds. I hope to get that special place tattooed on myself someday soon (and add it to this list!)

Quirky and FUN – Pets, UFOS, Bigfoot and more!

Though not technically camping related, lots of ideas for supernatural things that may have been *seen* while camping!

Nature Tattoo Ideas

If you love camping, no matter in an RV or a tent, it’s also likely that you are also a nature lover! These nature tattoos feature natural landscapes (prominent mountain ranges, evergreen trees in the design), animals and some pretty awesome full color animal illustrations.
