25 Funny Instagram Location Ideas
Harry Styles' House. I mean, what'll catch more eyes than saying you're at this megastar's house? The singer sold-out seats for many concerts, and he's recently begun promoting his next album, "Harry's House." So why not jump onto the hype train?
The Lair of all Things Dark and Evil. If you're a Halloween or Horror fan, this label might appeal to you or your following. Maybe you can use this tag instead of the old "Home" location. Lots of ideas surrounding this label come to mind: Nevermore, Spooky Land, Halloween Town, Aisle of Terror, Haunted House, House of Terrors, and more!
Wonderland. Maybe instead of being a fan of Horror, you're a fan of Alice in Wonderland. The tag inspires awe and would be best used if you're in an area that feels like a different realm.
Feed Me Now. If you're more into the idea that your state of mind is a physical location, use tags that reflect that! This might be a good time to post a picture of a dish from a restaurant that you love with the location tag, "Feed Me Now."
Nowhere You Have To Know. If you're feeling sassy and not a fan of the Horror or Halloween-leaning tag, this one could work for you. Maybe you're at an address that you'd rather not post, but you want to make a catchy location tag.
Error 404. This one is super geeky and the entire error reads: Error 404 Location Not Found. This location tag is best if you're in a location you'd rather not disclose, but want to give it a creative tag.
Shrek's Swamp. Maybe you're at home and don't want the world to know about it. Or maybe you're a creature of comfort, similar to Shrek, and want Instagram to know that.
The girl's/guy's room. Maybe you're hanging out with a bunch of friends and want to tag it. This also works with Movie Night, Girl/Guy Club, or Shermer High School.
I Need Coffee. If you're a coffee lover, this location tag might speak to you. You can also use places like Central Perk or CC Jitters.
Euphoria. This location tag is a fantastic idea if you just want to share your beautiful state of mind with Instagram. You might use this tag if you post a picture of a certificate you've worked so hard for or a graduate degree that took longer than expected to get. Use this or tags like Shine Bright Like a Diamond or Unstoppable to show that you're feeling blissful!
Good Vibes Avenue. If song lyrics are too abstract for you, but you're feeling blissful or overjoyed for something, use this location tag! This location shows that you're in a great mood without tagging a real location.
Home Sweet Home. Maybe you're not going out for the weekend, but want to show that you're staying in without using the old "Home" location tag. Show off that you're spending a comfy staycation with this tag.
Planet Earth. If you're feeling that specifics aren't necessary, but you want to emphasize that you're somewhere, why not use this tag or similar ones, like Mother Nature or Mother Earth.
The Internet. Again, if you don't want to specify where you're at, you can use this vague, but funny, location tag instead.
The North Pole. When winter hits, icy and snowy surroundings might make you think of The North Pole. But if you don't like that location tag, you can try some fictional alternatives like Freezing Cold, Christmas Town, Santa's Workshop, Whoville, The Land of Sweets, or Winterfell.
Bikini Bottom. Maybe you have a killer tan that you want to show off to the world, or maybe you're at the beach and it's super picturesque. Use this location tag without spilling the beans on your actual location. You can also use tags like Fairy Tan Mother, Davy Jones Locker, or Lost at Sea.
Drink, Drank, Drunk. We've all partied at one point in our lives, but what if the party is in a secret location? Use this tag to imply that you've partied without giving away the specific location details. There are similar tags out there like Hangover Central, Alcohol Please, Drunk in Public, or About Last Night.
Carrie Bradshaw's Apartment. If you don't get the reference, you can use something more updated like Marshall's and Lily's Pad. But this is the perfect way to tag an Instagram post without giving away your actual location.
Bob Ross Studios. This is a funny tag especially if you're posting a picture on Instagram of you painting somewhere or if you've captured a majestic view of scenery. Similar tags include Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Over the Hills & Far Away.
Area 51. Maybe you're in a foreign land and want to share strange sights with your Instagram followers. This location tag with an image of something weird would be perfect!
Yellow-Brick Road. If you feel like you're on a path that's leading to somewhere magical and dangerous, this location tag would be a perfect fit! You can use this at the start of a great adventure, like taking a business trip somewhere, or even for menial tasks, like picking up your order from Pizza Hut.
Hogwarts. Use this location tag when you're someplace magical and wonderful. It's not just a location at Universal Studios, but also the home of millions of Harry Potter fans around the world, so you're surely going to get attention with this tag!
Almost there. Moving? Going somewhere? This location tag would fit perfectly with your on-the-move post. You can share a picture of your surroundings with this tag to indicate that you're not home or to your destination yet but will be soon.
A galaxy far, far away. Maybe you're away from home and missing it. Use this location tag to imply that you're away from home or use it when you're sharing throwback pictures to indicate that they were taken at a different time. You can also use tags like Help Me Go Home or I Miss You to imply nostalgia.
Grandma's Soul Food. Use this location tag if you're having the most Instagrammable meal ever. You can also suggest that the food is perfect with tags like "Work of God."
Booty Camp. Working out? This location tag might be what you're looking for! You can use other location tags like Sweat Like a Girl or Workout Twerkout.
Using Location Tags
Open Instagram and create your post. Tap the icon that looks like a camera lens on a gradient orange and pink background to launch the mobile app. Tap + centered at the bottom of your screen and then tap Reel, Post, or Story from the dial to select the content you want to upload. Adding a geotag to your Instagram post or Story increases the organic engagement rates, so more people have the probability to see it. For example, if you tag something as "Bikini Beach" people looking for Spongebob, cartoons, or beaches will find your post! Even funny geotags like "Feed Me Now" can get the attention of fellow foodies, and if they appreciate your humor, they may even follow you!
Geotag your post. This will only work for locations that exist, like Nowhere, Oklahoma, but the way you add a location tag varies depending on the type of post you're uploading. You can also use tags like "The Forrest Moon of Endor", which isn't actually a place that exists, but it's a location tag already on Instagram for you to use. If you're uploading a Story, tap the Sticker icon, then tap the Location sticker and enter your location. If you're uploading a reel or post, tap the Add location field and enter the location.
Upload it. Tap Share or Your Story to finalize your post and share it. Adding a location tag to your post on Instagram increases its chances of being discovered by a wider audience.
Creating Custom Locations
Open Facebook. You'll need to use the other app that's also from Meta to create a new location. Tap the app icon that looks like a white lowercase "f" on a blue background to launch the mobile app.
Create a new post. Tap the "What's on your mind?" box at the top of your screen to create a new Facebook post.
Tap Check In. You'll see this below the text field next to an icon of a map pin.
Type the name of the location you want to use. Don't tap on any results that appear.
Tap Add. It's at the bottom of the menu. Now that you've created a new location, you'll be able to tag it on Instagram!
FAQ
What's the most-used location on Instagram? English-speaking countries dominate the most popular Instagram tags, like the US. The second most popular tag is Brazil, and the third is the UK.
What's the best location for likes on Instagram? Tag more vague areas than specific places since tagging a local coffee shop will only garner views from people who have been there before or those who are interested in going there. Tagging a larger neighborhood or area will instead get views from everyone in that area!
Should I use real or funny locations? The answer depends on your Instagram goals. If you're a business or influencer, then you might use more real locations to appear more professional. Someone with less-formal goals, like a blogger or content creator, might aim for the laughs.
