Space, the final frontier…. OK, don’t worry, this isn’t a list of Star Trek tattoos, we’re not quite that nerdy. That being said, Captain Kirk had a point when he opened the program with that monologue; space really is the last undiscovered territory for man. We have always been fascinated by the cosmos thanks to its vastness. This list of space tattoos features ink that pays homage to those who have attempted to explore space and the natural beauty of the universe. Enjoy.

In these matching tattoos a space shuttle is paired with one of Sagan’s most famous quotes.

This tattoo is a star map from the Voyager satellite showing extraterrestrials where Earth is located in case they come across it.

This nebula tattoo is out of this world, literally.

On one foot all of the phases of the moon, on the other all of the planets of the solar system (and Pluto).
