Zodiac Tattoos

For some of us, zodiac tattoos may be a great choice of tattoo image, while for others, it may turn out to be a tattoo you regret – it all depends on your personal relationship with astrology. Do you consult your horoscope on a regular basis, and have you gone so far as to have a personalized chart done? That indicates that astrology is part of your personal belief system, and that you take it seriously enough to consider zodiac tattoos. If you only consult your horoscope as a joke and have no real belief in the significance of your star signs, however, you may end up being embarrassed by Libra or Taurus tattoos. You are better off choosing another image – one that is more meaningful to you personally.

If you do end up deciding to look into zodiac tattoos, however, there are a lot of styles to choose from. They can be simple and spare – some very attractive ones we have seen feature the constellation that gave rise to a specific zodiac sign, with the drawing of the ‘sketched’ very lightly. Other tattoos inspired by astrology are a lot bolder, of course – some are stylized, and some may even be cartoon-ish. It all depends on the style that appeals to you, and that blends well with any other tattoos you may happen to have (or plan to get in the future).

If you do decide to look into zodiac tattoos, don’t overlook the many classic or gothic renditions of these classic signs. They are ornate and very beautiful, suitable for an upper arm or ankle tattoo. While getting a tattoo with your own zodiac sign may be the obvious choice, some people also choose to get a tattoo of a loved one’s sign – a subtler version of the classic tattoo of a lover’s name that so many of us end up regretting! You may also find that several people who are important to you have the same sign, so a single tattoo could be a tribute to all of them.

Some zodiac tattoos are more open to interpretation than others, in terms of the images used to portray them. Gemini tattoos, for example, are open to a variety of interpretations. The sign is that of the twins, but there’s almost endless variety in the artistic representations of twins that you can find. Others, like Libra or Taurus tattoos, are more limited in their representation, but can still be depicted in a variety of styles.
