Where You Should Get a Tattoo Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pitt chapter.

A tattoo is a big decision. It’s artwork, or a couple of words, inked onto your body permanently. So, it’s not a decision to make lightly. And that being the case, that it’s too big a decision to make on your own, shouldn’t you leave it up to the fates to decide?

Read on to decide where you should get your next tattoo based on your Zodiac sign!

Aries (March 21 – April 20): Bicep

The Aries is strong, both physically and in responding to and recovering from tough times, so it’s perfect for the Aries to have a bicep tattoo that she has to flex to show off. Some Aries are natural athletes due to born capabilities and a fierce competitive streak, so her arms will be perfectly toned and tanned from practices in the sun and ready to show off! Others are competitive mentally, eager to learn and better themselves, and these Aries, too, should pride themselves in the strength they’ve shown through what they’ve overcome.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21): Sternum

The Taurus is detached and shows a cool exterior to the world, so she doesn’t want a tattoo that invites conversation. But the lucky few who do see her tattoo find her very sexy, aware of her body and the pleasures of touch, taste and smell. She should get a small and sexy tattoo between her breasts that only her partners will see – and love.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21) : Top of Foot

Gemini women love exploring and can’t sit still – they always want to see new places, meet new people, and experience new things! As women always on the move, their perfect tattoo spot is on the top or tops of their feet which carry them onto their next adventures.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22): Inside Wrist

The Cancer is the nurturer of the Zodiac, so she wants to make sure her tattoo will be appropriate for the children she dreams of having and the young people she works with – likely as a nurse or a teacher. A modest wrist tattoo that can be covered with sleeves or makeup is perfect for her.

Leo (July 23 – August 21): Down the Spine

The Leo, the lion, the born leader, loves setting trends and making heads turn. She’ll choose something fierce and stylish like a tattoo running the length of her spine. It also doesn’t hurt that anyone who sees this show-stopping tatt is bound to compliment her, which she loves.

Virgo (August 22 – September 23): Back

A Virgo is practical and doesn’t want a tattoo that she’s going to have to stress about hiding – nor does she want to spend last summer’s savings on a single tatt. And, because she’s shy, she doesn’t want anything flashy that’ll make her the center of attention. She’ll go with something small and simple on her back.

Libra (September 24 – October 23): Neck

Libra women are graceful and appreciate the elegance of a small, properly placed tattoo, such as at the nape of the neck. Libras are some of the most social people, so this tattoo can be hidden by her long hair when she’s with more conservative friends, and then she can tie her hang back to show it off when in relaxed company.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22): Thigh

The Scorpio is nothing if not dramatic, and what’s more dramatic than a tattoo that takes up half your thigh? But, Scorpios are also reserved, so this tattoo allows her to be bold while being only in the face of those that know her best.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 22): Lower Back

A Sagittarius is a free-spirited woman, who can’t be tied down to one place, one person, or one lifestyle for too long. While the lower back tattoo has become a bit of a taboo and a cliché, the Sagittarius woman will be unafraid to make it her own and make it into something beautiful.

Capricorn (December 23 – January 20): Inside Ear

Capricorns are fiercely dedicated to success. They try hard in school, network well, and try and move up in the world and build sizeable careers. For a career woman such as herself, the Capricorn doesn’t want a distracting tattoo, so she decides to get something she’ll never even need to wear sleeves to cover – an inner ear tattoo.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 19): Collarbone

An Aquarius marches to the beat of her own drum, so she’s not afraid her tattoo will be exposed to the world. She wants it to be a one-of-kind and aesthetically pleasing, as she doesn’t follow trends, but she tries to set them. A collarbone tattoo – especially a TWO collarbone tattoo like this one – is perfect for her.

Pisces (February 20 – March 20): Ribs

Pisces often feel conflicted, so first of all, she won’t be sure about getting this tattoo. But Pisces have vivid dreams and imaginations, and she’ll want something out of her dream world on her body, like this colorful, yet easily hidden, tattoo on her ribcage.
