Here are some various tattoo designs with their meanings :


Angel Tattoos :

Angel tattoos hold a high amount of spiritual significance. Throughout history, angels have been depicted as God's messengers and soldiers, delivering His word and carrying out His punishments on mankind. They are also presented as protectors of mankind and harbingers of love.


Aquarius Tattoos:

Aquarians are known for being very spiritual, calm and collected. They seem to be very connected to the world around them, so blues and greens are the colors that suit them best. Naturally, this works out quite well because Aquarius is known as the water bearer.


Aries Tattoos:

Aries tattoos can be just as bold as the personalities they are designed for.Aries represent the "can do" people. Simply put, they don't let anything get in their way. They tend to act in the moment based on the info immediately in front of them, and this gives them the reputation of being a bit hasty or impulsive at times.


Butterfly Tattoos:

Not only are butterflies beautiful, but a butterfly tattoo allows for plenty of experimentation with color and shape. A butterfly is an extremely versatile design. It is popular on any part of the body, particularly the lower back. A butterfly tattoo can be designed from a real butterfly or an imaginative butterfly.


Capricorn Tattoos:

Show some pride in your astrological sign with Capricorn tattoos. Capricorn are known for their solid, dependable personalities. Capricorns are steady as a rock, and since they are so grounded their best colors tend to run in shades of brown through black.That's not to say that Capricorns aren't colorful. Their sudden bouts of wit can make them seem rather capricious, but this only adds dimension to their personalities.


Cross Tattoos:

The cross has been used as a symbol in ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures, as well as by the Aztecs, whose culture of human sacrifice was actually quite shocking.
So why are cross tattoos so popular? Many people getting their first tat tend to choose crosses for their initial foray into body art. It's a fairly safe design that is usually deemed socially acceptable, where other tattoo designs may not be as welcome.
Celtic crosses can be masterpieces of body art, and even the most simple cross can be embellished with other design elements such as hearts, flowers, angel wings, and nearly anything else you can think of.
Like religion itself, the cross holds whatever symbolism an individual intends it to, and everyone interprets it's meaning in his or her own way. One person may get a tattoo of a cross because of deeply held religious beliefs while another just thinks it "looks cool."


Fairy Tattoos:

Women choose fairy tattoos because fairies are a part of the natural world and extremely beautiful. Fairies are more sensual than angels and have a more mischievous history. Often fairy tattoos are depicted with butterfly or moth wings. Fairies usually have a free and earthly tone to them. These tattoos can also depict a variety of moods such as grace/beauty, sadness, anger, mischievousness or joy. While fairies are more often chosen by women, some men choose masculine fairies.


Foot Tattoos:

foot tattoos are the ultimate way to express themselves. Flowers, scrolls, and tribal designs are all popular choices. It isn't uncommon to find a foot tattoo that begins on side (or bottom) of the foot and continues onto the top. Some people get frogs, lizards, and other animals "crouched" on top of their foot, while others prefer "hidden images" on the soles of their feet. Foot tattoos can be as varied as their owners, and just as beautiful.


Gemini Tattoos:

Gemini zodiac tattoos are huge phenomena within tattoos circles, and seem like Gemini tattoos are getting more and more popular. They carry with them a deep and rich symbolic meaning as well as they look good and make great tattoo designs. The design of Gemini zodiac tattoo is really a unisex design. (Thanks to its duality). That means that almost any choice you will choose will be a good choice. Since it is such universal and dual most of the designs can suite both sexes.

Leos are quite gregarious and tend to find themselves in the limelight. Perhaps this is why so many find themselves attracted to the theater and other performance arts. After all, this sun sign thrives on drama.

Lower Back Tattoos:

The lower back is one of the most erotic and sensual areas women can get tattooed. Lower back tattoos are easy to cover up as well, which is great for those who aren't allowed to have tattoos at work. Unlike other areas of the body, the lower back is completely covered up by a shirt. With the lower back - you only show the tattoo off when you want.

Taureans are known for their sheer determination. A Taurean generally knows what he/she wants, and won't let anything stand in the way of achieving it. The bull is the best known image associated with Taurus.

Virgo is actually a fascinating sign. It represents intelligence and a stronger than usual ability,to reason their way through any situation. However, as logical as Virgos can be, they often find it harder to deal with emotions, and sometimes cover up what they're really thinking.


Zodiac Symbol Tattoos:

If you think astrology is a fringe science, think again. It's actually one of the original sciences and was once nearly inseparable from astronomy. Our ancestors gazed at the cosmos and saw order in the infinite chaos, leading to the discovery of the constellations. And as you may already know, the constellations are the basis for the signs of the zodiac.
Interest in astrology is definitely on the upswing, and tattoo enthusiasts who feel a natural affinity for their personal zodiac sign haven't failed to see the artistic merit in each design. Naturally, this has led to the creation of a lot of great tattoos.
