Tattoos of the Zodiac

#15 Taurus

Most Taurus tattoos tend to be all raging bull with fiery horns a-blazing. It's kind of nice to see a sweet little Taurus calf.

#14 Gemini

Here's an interesting yet minimal take of Gemini using both the symbol and its image.

#13 Cancer

We've seen a lot of Cancer tattoos that use the symbol in the body of the crab, and while that's clever, we appreciate the sweet subtlety of this one.

#12 Leo

This Leo piece would be gorgeous even without its astrological meaning. And if you look close, you can see the snake in the lion's claw forms the shape of the Leo symbol.

#11 Virgo

Some zodiac signs are easy to represent, like that last Leo the Lion. But Virgo the Virgin? Not so easy. We appreciate this beautiful and unique tat.

#10 Libra

This tattoo obviously represents the Libra scales, but it also depicts the scales of judgement from Egyptian mythology, in which the heart of the deceased was weighed against the feather of truth.

#9 Scorpio

Scorpio tats tend to be either highly stylized tribal designs or hyper-realistic images detailed enough to make you do a double take. And possibly shriek in a not-un-childlike fashion.

#8 Sagittarius

Part horse, part man, the archer, the stars - this gorgeous piece has got it all.

#7 Sagittarius 2

Where the previous tattoo is realistic and detailed, this is stylized and minimal. It's nice to see the difference.

#6 Pisces

Hold up, we have a contender. A major contender. How is that even real?

#5 Capricorn

This unique design is ornate without being over-the-top, and utterly original. Sidenote: who looked up at the stars and thought, "Hey, you know what that looks like? A half-goat-half-fish thing. Yeah, let's go with that."?

#4 Aquarius

A new twist on on old classic. This image is based on Alphonse Mucha's painting "Painting" (no seriously, that's actually the title,) but with so minor adjustments. Like the inclusion of the water jug for Aquarius.

#3 Aquarius 2

Okay, even if this weren't a zodiac tattoo, we'd still post it. Because how amazing is that.

#2 Aries

Aries tend to have pretty hardcore personalities. What's more hardcore than ram horns piercing out of your back?

#1 Cancer and Leo

And a mash-up for funsies. Water for cancer, Fire for Leo, and can you spot the symbols in there?
