The tradition known as the way of the traveler was practiced by the Bosph species, involving the application of tattoos onto their skin. These tattoos depicted maps and star-charts that symbolized the locations they had journeyed to. This custom originated during a time when the Bosph were primarily nomadic, utilizing these skin-based maps to navigate the vast plains of their homeworld, Bosph. However, even after the Bosph's existence became known to the broader galaxy, they continued this practice while venturing beyond their planet of origin. For Force-sensitive Bosph, particularly those deemed Ela b'Yentarr and members of the Bosph government, wearing these tattoos was a mandatory aspect of the way of the traveler, whereas it remained optional for other Bosph individuals. A notable example of a Bosph who adhered to this tradition was the smuggler named Bora Boru.
