Get Up and GO!
This is part two of my whole series of travel tattoos! I have quite a few more…I guess I’m a little obsessed.
Why I Got This Tattoo?
This was such a random, spontaneous tattoo. I was looking at tattoo ideas on Pinterest and one idea stuck out to me. It was a “GO” tattoo but the “O” was replaced with a globe.
Then it hit me! How about I put the London eye I place of the “O”!? It was such a brilliant idea to me. I figured that since I was already in New York, and the tattoo shop I normally go to is 30 minutes away, why don’t I just get it now?
Thankfully I was able to get this tattoo as a walk in with my normal artists, and I haven’t regretted my decision!
My Love for England
Did I mention how much I love London? It has always been a dream of mine to travel there, and I was able to do that in college! Since I didn’t get a tattoo while I was in London, I figured this tattoo could also represent my study abroad time.
Either way, this tattoo illustrates my love for England and how my dream became a reality for me!

What This Means To Me
Who ever said spontaneous tattoos can’t be meaningful? I beg to differ! Even though this was a spur of the moment tattoo, it means everything to me. It means that I can do anything I set my mind to, that you have to be patient with yourself, and to never give up on the things you want to do in life.
This tattoo reminds me to think to myself, “where there’s a will, there’s a way”, and I am willing to go all the way to make things happen! The tattoo is in capital lettering, which screams at me to “GET UP AND GO!”. Sometimes in life you have to do things in the moment, take it for what it is right now, and that you’ll never accomplish anything by being idle.
That’s exactly what I did with this tattoo and that is what I’m going to do from now on. When I can, I’m going to GET UP AND GO!
The London eye is a great homage to a wonderful city!
It is. You should see my other London related tattoo 😏

Yes we must get up and go! Everyday we must enjoy life and make the most of it. Life in the moment moves quickly – don’t miss it.
Absolutely!

I love England and always feel like I was meant to be there for some reason. I had the chance to visit London a couple of years ago and loved it! My friend and I debated getting tattoos there, but didn’t end up having the time. Love the idea of changing the O to the London Eye 🙂
Thank you, I feel the same way! it’s as if I was born in the wrong country lol.
That’s super cool! Love the tattoo! London is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit one day. Thanks for sharing!

I loved how you created this tattoo and share your love of England and travel!

I loved London Eye! I visited in October. If I were to get a travel-related tattoo, it would probably be of a compass.

I travel to London once years ago, but didn’t have the time to ride the London Eye. I definitely want to next time I’m there!
You definitely should!
