Astrological Tattoos
Astrological tattoos are a great way to show the world that you believe in who you are. To begin choosing your design, start with the month in which you were born.
If you don’t know your sign already, here is a quick rundown: Capricorn (December 23 thru January 20); Aquarius (January 21 thru February 19); Pisces (February 20 thru March 20); Aries (March 21 thru April 20); Taurus (April 21 thru May 21); Gemini (May 22 thru June 21); Cancer (June 22 thru July 22); Leo July 23 thru August 22); Virgo (August 22 thru September 23); Libra (September 24 thru October 23); Scorpio (October 24 thru November 22); Sagittarius (November 23 thru December 22). Once you have found the sign that corresponds with your birthday, you can begin to look for astrological tattoos that match.
Capricorns are generally represented by the goat; Aquarius is represented by the water carrier; Pisces is known as the fish; Aries tends to be known as the ram; Taurus is generally represented by the bull; Gemini comes in the form of twins; Cancers are often symbolized as crabs; Leos can be found in the form of a lion; Virgos are often depicted as virgins; Libras tend to be represented by a scale and balance; Scorpios take the shape of a scorpion; and Sagittarius is often represented by an archer.
While you don’t have to go for the traditional astrological tattoos, these signs are largely universal. So, if you want the entire world to know that you are a Virgo, having a picture of the Virgin Mary tattooed on your body is the way to go. There are also numeric symbols that represent various signs of the zodiac, so take a look at those too if you want something a bit different. These tattoos are some of the most common out there, since so many people believe in their zodiac sign. Whether there is any truth to the zodiac has not been proven, but the character traits that go along with each sign tend to be rather realistic.
Learning about your sign is a lot of fun especially if you mix the traditional explanation with those of other cultures. Take a look at the Chinese zodiac for an altogether different opinion regarding your particular sign.
You will find that most tattoo shops have an abundance of possible astrological tattoos to choose from. Select one that has been pre-made or create your own for a truly unique sign.
