Zodiac Tattoo Ideas

Since ancient times, astrology has been a fun way to look at our personalities and how they intertwine with our birthdates and the positioning of celestial bodies. There’s something romantic about believing we can divine our fate from the stars in the sky. Some astrological readings offer introspection, hints at what the future may hold, or ideas about how certain tendencies are holding us back. For many people, their zodiac sign represents an essential piece of their individuality, fortune, and compatibility with others. A zodiac tattoo can be a story that merges and makes sense of the events of your past, present, and future. Check out some zodiac tattoo ideas below.

Zodiac Tattoos for Any Signs

The zodiac signs are grouped into four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Some people relate more to their larger sign category than to their specific sun or moon signs. It’s also a subtler way to connect your ink to your astrological sign. This fine-line fire tattoo hits the balance of pretty, delicate, and a little dangerous all at once.

Earth signs might like this colorful, traditional tattoo of a globe.

This realistic, splashy black tattoo may appeal to water signs out there.

The symbol for air signs is a triangle with a line through it, and it is simple and lovely at the same time.

Specific Zodiac Sign Tattoos

Aries Tattoos

Aries, symbolized as the ram, is a fire sign that backs up their blaze with determination. This understated Aries tattoo of the ram symbol in the sky is dreamy and cosmic.

Taurus Tattoos

The sign of the bull is what represents unwavering, devoted Taureans. This neo-traditional Taurus rib piece is floral and cool as hell.

Gemini Tattoos

Geminis are the life of any party, and they are typically represented by twins. This color tattoo is a fun way to signify the sign.

Cancer Tattoos

Next on the list is cancer, the sign that the crab characterizes. This ornate little crustacean is perfectly at home on the thigh, and he blends so well with the other tattoos, too.

Leo Tattoos

Leos, the lovable lions, tend to gravitate towards the spotlight, just like this tattoo below does.

Virgo Tattoos

Practical and logical, Virgos might want a tattoo that represents the order and attention to detail that they like to have in their lives. Below, the leg piece weaves in both the word and the symbol for Virgo.

Libra Tattoos

Fair, orderly, and balanced, a scale embodies the character of Libras. This bold arm piece has a lot going on, and it shows how many different elements you can incorporate into a zodiac tattoo.

Scorpio Tattoos

Scorpios, represented by the scorpion, are dedicated and creative, but they also pack a punch. This affectionate scorpion is a cute addition to the rest of the leg pieces.

Sagittarius Tattoos

Enthusiastic and idealistic, Sagittarians love freedom and exploration. This pretty red linework piece is eye-catching and bound to be the center of attention, just like most Sagittarians.

Capricorn Tattoos

Reliable and stubborn with emotions that lie just under the surface, the goat with a fishtail is a perfect symbol for Capricorns. This neck piece of a sea-goat captures the paradoxical nature of Capricorns.

Aquarius Tattoos

The glyph for Aquarius is the water-bearer, or sometimes a wave or jar of water. The flowing nature of Aquarians is hard to miss in this black line tattoo.

Pisces Tattoos

Pisces is the last symbol in the zodiac, and two fishes swimming in opposite directions represent Pisceans’ indecisive and quickly changing nature. This pretty, peachy Pisces piece done in the neotraditional style with koi is a fun take on the sign.
