Zodiac symbol tattoos or astrology symbol tattoos are some of the most popular tattoo designs ever. Mainly because many people associate themselves with their zodiac signs and what the signs mean. Since different astrological signs describe different characteristics of a person, zodiac tattoos are great ways for you to express yourself and to show the world who you really are. These symbols are also beautifully created and highly artistic, further enhancing their appeal.
There are two main types of zodiac symbol tattoos. They are the western zodiac symbols and the Chinese zodiac symbols. The western symbols or glyphs are very versatile to work with and can be combined with other design elements to create truly stunning tattoo patterns. The Chinese symbols, when done in the style of traditional Chinese paintings are highly artistic.
The western glyphs are as follow:
Taurus – represented by a circle with two horns
Aries – represented by a V shape with the two ends bent or curled outward.
Gemini – represented by the mathematical symbol for Pi.
Aquarius – represented by two horizontal wavy lines, one on top of the other.
Scorpio – represented by a symbol similar to the capital “M”, with the right tail curled upward and ending with a triangular barb.
Pices – represented by two similar curved lines with their convex sides facing each other. These two lines are connected through their middle by a single horizontal line.
Capricorn – represented by a “V” similar to the Aries “V”, but the end is extended downward to form a “J” and with an oval attached to the middle of the “J”.
Virgo – represented by the “M” shape similar to the Scorpio “M”, but its right tail has an elf’s pointed left ear attached to it.
Leo – represented by a circle on the left. With a winding tail, that curls up and then down, on the right.
Sagittarius – represented by an arrow pointing in the North-East direction, with a short perpendicular line cutting across it near its middle.
Libra – represented by a sign similar to the mathematical sign for “approximate value”.
Cancer – represented by the number 69, rotated 90 degrees to the right.
The Chinese zodiac symbols are represented by twelve animals. Each animal determines the year that a person was born. The animals are the: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and boar. Even though simpler in their designs, they are by no means less artistic than the western symbols. You can also opt for the Chinese calligraphy versions of the symbols, which are equally stylish and beautiful.
However, if you still have trouble with regards to which combination of designs appeal to you, then you can check out some of the online tattoo galleries. They offer thousands of tattoo patterns and designs that are updated regular.
