Tattoos are becoming more popular than ever and new designs are being added to online tattoo websites and studios every day, meaning thousands of potential designs to choose fro

One of the most popular themes are tattoo designs of zodiac signs. We have been fascinated by these dots connecting stars and constellations for ages. While there's some romanticism to the idea that our actions and lives are under the influence of planets and other celestial bodies, the desire to have such a tattoo doesn't necessarily depend on your personal relationship with astrology. Even if you don't consult your horoscope on a regular basis, you can find that zodiac signs can become truly unique and personal tattoos.

In terms of imagery, some zodiac symbols are more open to interpretation than others. If you’re considering getting a zodiac tattoo, here is a little collection of basic designs in various styles that will get your creative juices flowing:

Here are some other zodiac related ideas: you could have a tattoo of the animal related to your constellation, or of one of the 4 elements each zodiac is connected to (earth, wind, water or fire). You could also combine your element and sign, or the element and the animal. Each zodiac is also connected with a color. One way add symbolism to tattoo is by making that color dominant. If you are more into abstraction, you could include your animal or sign in a tribal design, or have it stylized.

If you want the tattoo to match what's in your mind, you can always have a professional artist create the whole design from scratch. Only remember that designing a custom piece at a tattoo studio can take up to several hours and cost as much as $150.00 or more, depending on the size and detail of the design.
