Although the above mentioned classic zodiac images are widely known and instantly recognizable, you should not limit your options to such because there are other countless designs and styles to choose from. The allure of zodiac signs stems from mythical symbolism and their corresponding astrological meanings. To intensify that inherent magnetism in your tattoo, you may consider incorporating other symbolic undertones in your design. Here are some suggestions:
You can choose black ink or colors, and bold tribal-style designs or lines with an Asian or Celtic flair. You can also incorporate zodiac symbols into larger or more intricate designs.
Each zodiac sign has its own color, although astrologers still disagree about the matching of colors with the signs. For instance, Taurus is represented by pink, white, or blue, depending on what reference you use. You may want to use one or a combination of those colors to tattoo your design.
You can also choose your tattoo’s colors according to your birth stone. Birthstone charts vary according to the culture where they originated as well. But these charts give you a few color options while still being technically correct.
Aside from gemstones, certain flowers are also connected to each sign. The Aries’ flower is tiger lily. Cancers might choose a tattoo integrating honeysuckle and pomegranate. Astrologers may again have different lists on this, so be sure to research carefully on your own. You could also incorporate the element earth, air, fire, or water.
