Tattoos are usually permanent designs on your skin and depict your unique style. They are extensions of your personality and offer an insight into your thoughts. Hence, it is important to zero down on a design that not only represents but celebrates you as well. And with the help of astrology, choosing the perfect tat according to your personality only gets easier. Here is the best tattoo design, keeping your zodiac sign in mind.
How do astrological elements influence zodiac sign tattoos?
The zodiac chart is divided into 12 signs, each depicting its distinct qualities and quirks. But there is some common ground that could be established between the zodiac signs. They are divided into groups of three, into the zodiac sign elements of fire, air, earth and water. The zodiacs have tonalities and sensibilities according to their element.
Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) are action-oriented and impulsive. Hence, the best tats for them could be vibrant designs that inspire travel or success in life.
Meanwhile, air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) are intelligent, fun and flirty. So, they would much rather go for a progressive yet minimalistic design. Whereas, earth signs display traits of being stable and grounded. Therefore, their tattoos also must depict these traits. The best zodiac tattoo for them is something timeless and traditional like their own zodiac sign motifs.
Water signs are the most emotional among the zodiacs, representing fluidity of thought, empathy and deep feelings. Hence, the most appropriate tattoo for them could be a symbol that is nostalgic and personal.
Lucky zodiac sign tattoo design and its significance
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Aries, symbolised by the ram, is a fiery sign. They are spontaneous, ambitious and driven towards their goals. Their lucky colour is red, and they are not afraid to make bold statements. Hence, the best designs for them could be the Aries symbol of a ram, flames of fire or a motivational quote that could also serve as a perfect pick-me-up on dull days.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
This earth sign depicted by a bull is persistent and consistent. They display high levels of physical and emotional endurance. Ruled by the planet of beauty Venus, they are deeply connected to its roots. Besides going for an obvious choice of a celestial bull or constellation tattoos, they could try out delicate and floral body art, too.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
This air sign represents duality in the zodiac and is creative, free, fluid and very likeable. They also are naturally curious beings and like to read up on different topics, travel a lot, make new friends and dazzle everyone with their outgoing nature. They could opt for dual faces or motifs like the yin and yang symbol. Another option for them is a classic butterfly tattoo, which could be described as an exact representation of their social temperament.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
This crustacean water sign is branded as the most emotional sign on the wheel and a perfect design for them would be something delicate, dainty, small yet meaningful. For example, they could get a special date tattooed or maybe a symbol which takes them back to the best times in their life. They are not high on keeping up with the trends and would not necessarily go for astrological tattoos. For them, the design should be deeply personal.
Leo (23 July– 22 August)
The most flamboyant sign of all, Leo is denoted by the lion and ruled by the sun. They love to be in the limelight and would like their tattoos to be conversation starters with strangers. An ideal design for Leo is a lion or a symbol of the sun. They could also ink the map of their constellation on their arm to arrest attention.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Virgo is known as the earth goddess and is denoted by the Maiden. Slightly introverted, this sign likes to maintain a low profile while consistently focusing on their goals. They are sticklers for perfection. Hence, it would be great for them to get a neat and clean design like an astrological symbol of their sign. They can also go for a design of an earth goddess, as well as leaves, flowers or any element of nature.

It is possible to get easily spooked by their design choices.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
Adventurous from the word go, Sagittarius is denoted by an archer and ruled by the planet of growth and travel, Jupiter.

The best tattoo for Sags besides an arrow is a memory from their travel or even a globe or a world map.
Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)
The last of the earth sign, Capricorn, is the most serious sign on the zodiac chart. They are ruled by the Saturn, the planet of rules and regulations. They are also known as the bosses of the zodiac system. Denoted by a celestial goat, they are known for their work ethic, discipline and resilience. It is believed that Caps are steady climbers and very ambitious towards achieving their goals. An ideal tattoo design would be a mountain, besides the design of their astrological sign or constellation.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)
Aquarius is the most progressive sign and is ruled by the planet of revolution, Uranus. They are symbolised by a water carrier and are known for their intelligence and helpful nature. This air sign is described as unconventional and a bit whimsical. Hence, the best tattoo for them is freestyle, which involves various charms, flowers, stars and constellations in a multicolour.
Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
The last of the zodiac is Pisces, the calmest and peace-loving of all the signs. They are mild-mannered, non-controversial and always in their dream world, thanks to being ruled by the planet of fantasy, Neptune. The most obvious design for Pisceans is their symbol: Two fishes swimming in the opposite direction. Besides these, they could get a dove, which is a symbol of peace. Pisceans have an evolved spiritual side, and this trait makes them choose to ink a chant, angel wings or a dream catcher to help them manifest good fortune.
