Zodiac Tattoo Designs

Are you looking for a tattoo with meaning? Do you want your design to incorporate something about you? A tattoo incorporating your star sign is one way to do this.

There are many tattoo designs to consider in your quest for your ideal art work, and zodiac symbols are some of the more popular.

The beauty of these tattoos is that you do not have to stick to a certain style. These are tattoos with meaning, so you can incorporate your zodiac symbol in any style, whether it be tribal, Japanese, Aztec, Polynesian and a simple old school design.

Some basic info on the zodiac

Briefly, there are a number of viewable constellation patterns of stars on a belt, or strip of constellations, on a path of the earth around the sun. We've all seen them in the sky, we've been taught about them since childhood.

There are 12 sections of the belt and each section has a constellation with a pattern and a story or myth behind it. They are all well known and are as follows:

1. Aquarius the Water Bearer
2. Pisces the Fish
3. Aries the Ram
4. Taurus the Bull
5. Gemini the Twins
6. Cancer the Crab
7. Leo the Lion
8. Virgo the Virgin
9. Libra the Scales
10. Scorpio the Scorpion
11. Sagittarius the Archer
12. Capricorn the Goat

We have all been taught our specific zodiac symbol (based on our birthday) since a young age. There is a hell of a lot more information on the internet regarding these symbols and star signs. I don't want to go to much more into that in this article as we are supposed to be talking about tattoos.

If you've set your heart on a zodiac tattoo design, be creative. If your star sign is Aries you don't necessarily have to have a big bull tattooed on your chest! What are you going to do if you're a Sagittarius? Get Robin Hood emblazoned on your back? Who fancies a crab on their forearm? You get the picture.

All of the star signs are associated with the elements and are grouped as follows:

1. Fire - Aries/Leo/Sagittarius

2. Earth - Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn

3. Air - Gemini/Libra/Aquarius

4. Water - Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces

So, if you're a Leo, and you don't necessarily want a lion tattoo, you could created a zodiac tattoo design based around fire and flames. Like I said, be creative, there are a plethora of designs already out there to get you motivated. Speak to your local tattoo artist and he/she will be able to give you even more advice.
