Astrology has become an integral part of our modern-day zeitgeist. It is widely believed that your sun sign determines many aspects of your personality traits, so it should come as no surprise that many people turn to their astrological signs when choosing a new tattoo. Astrology tattoos are a timeless choice, meaning you're less likely to change your mind about the design years down the line.
Drawing body-art inspiration from your birth chart can be highly personal. Zodiac tattoos can be completely customized based on your shape, size, or ink color preferences. From astrology symbols and scripts representing your moon, sun, and rising signs to stunning constellations and celestial pieces, the sky is the limit.
If you're having trouble making up your mind or want something a bit more tailor-made than a standard astrological tattoo, you can try incorporating more than one zodiac detail into a single design. You can include your birth year or date alongside your zodiac symbol or merge the signs of your loved ones into a special tribute piece. And we haven't even delved into the infinite ways you can approach a single design with different ink styles, such as fine-line, colorful, and traditional.
If you're looking for the best zodiac tattoo ideas, you've arrived at the right place. Ahead, we rounded up the most stunning astrological tattoos to help get you started. Let the stars guide you to your perfect match.
Animal Zodiac Tattoo
Getting your zodiac animal tattooed on your body can serve as a pretty bold statement. As shown with this Scorpio tattoo, you can get it done in any ink color you choose to make it even more you.
Floral Astrology Tattoo
Floral tattoos never go out of style, and framing your astrology symbol with these delicate design elements will surely earn you some compliments. You can also customize your piece by weaving in your favorite flower or the one from your birth month. This Pisces tattoo features multiple elements and looks great.
Crescent Moon Tattoo
A simple celestial design is an equally chic option for an astrology tattoo. Ink depicting various moon phases, for one, can be a powerful piece, as it symbolizes the eternal nature of transformation through time.
Floral Zodiac Tattoo
Behind the ear is a great location for an astrology tattoo that you want to keep to yourself. You can have your tattooist punctuate the final piece with dainty petals or stars to add more character, like this Capricorn tattoo.
Constellation Astrology Tattoo
A dainty constellation tattoo not only looks beautiful but it's also a great way to inject some personality into your ink collection. You can even add tiny stars and the moon for more detail.
Zodiac Symbol Tattoo
Proudly flaunt your zodiac sign with a design representing your personal sign, and, as an extension, your unique personality traits, like this Aquarius tattoo.
Script Zodiac Tattoo
One-word script designs are always a chic go-to for minimalist tattoo lovers, and what better way to incorporate your astrological sign into your body-art collection than with a beautiful cursive font? This Leo tattoo is minimal but still chic.
Birth Chart Zodiac Tattoo
If you're unsure where to place your tattoo, take inspiration from this planetary piece that depicts astrological elements of a Gemini's birth chart. Discreet location aside, these symbols are a classic choice and make for a cute Gemini tattoo.
Ornamental Zodiac Tattoo
A delicate, ornamental design looks extremely chic, especially on the hand, like with this Taurus tattoo. You can add the moon, stars, sun, and even your date of birth to make it as personal as you'd like.
Zodiac Symbol and Sign Tattoo
If you can't decide between your star sign's symbol and zodiac animal, this piece proves they can beautifully co-exist, like with this Cancer tattoo.
Zodiac Symbol and Constellation Tattoo
Why choose between your zodiac symbol and constellation when you can have both? The fine-line constellation tracing can serve as a perfect backdrop with your star sign taking the main stage, like with this Sagittarius tattoo.
Simple Astrology Tattoo
If you're not a fan of detailed artwork, you can opt for a simple line tattoo of your zodiac symbol, like this Virgo ttattoo. You can also opt to add your favorite illustrations to modify it to your liking, or keep it simple.
Intricate Zodiac Tattoo
If you're someone who likes a lot of detail, why not opt for something like this Libra tattoo? It's done with a single needle, but the scales are done so intricately that you'll be sure to get lots of compliments.
Abstract Zodiac Tattoo
This is an Aries tattoo, but if you aren't familiar with the symbol, you might not know it. The design surrounding it makes it look like a simple piece of gorgeous art, which we love.
