Astrology and tattoos share something magical: they both allow us to express our individuality and connection to the universe. Whether you’re a fiery Aries, a grounded Capricorn, or a dreamy Pisces, there’s a tattoo idea that perfectly captures your zodiac essence. From celestial constellations to symbolic representations of your element—fire, earth, air, or water—this list has something for every astrology lover.
Explore these 27 inspiring astrology tattoo ideas to celebrate your sign and connect with the cosmic forces that guide you!
Aries Constellation
A good go-to for astrological tattoos is getting the actual constellation of your zodiac sign. “Celestial motifs like constellations and planets are one of the most trendy astrological tattoo designs now,” says tattoo artist Missy Chu. Flecked with oversized stars, this Aries design has a bit of whimsy and originality.
Aries Geometric Ram
Just because Aries is the ram doesn’t mean you have to go too literal with your inky homage to the sign. Consider getting a minimalistic geometric tattoo that breaks the idea of the ram down to basic shapes. The thick lines and dots at the end of the horns give this otherwise basic tattoo a sophisticated sense of design.
Aries Symbol
If you’re looking to get a truly minimalist tattoo that conveys your Aries pride (but doesn’t punch you in the face design-wise), try getting inked with the basic Aries symbol. This specific tattoo has a very delicate feel due to its thin lines, and the finger placement makes it feel even cuter.
Taurus Bull
Taurus is represented by a bull, so why not get a bullish piece of body art? This ink features a Taurus bull’s face with intricate pattern work. Finishing touches include stars, leaves, and the Taurus zodiac symbol.
Taurus Symbol
If you’d rather keep your Taurus tattoo simple, try breaking it down into a symbol design. This one is very minimalistic and has a hand-drawn feel. Its placement on the finger also makes it feel discreet and personal.
Taurus Floral
A Taurus is very grounded, but sometimes we all want a bit of whimsy. This bull tattoo combines astrology with a winsome design. The macabre animal skull stands in stark contrast to the ethereal floral and crescent-moon designs, demonstrating the true complexity of a Taurus.
Gemini Faces
Another take on the “two-faced” idea of Geminis, this sketch-like design uses overlapping lines to show two faces looking in different directions.
Cancer Symbol
This Cancer tattoo uses a minimalist zodiac symbol as the base of its design. It also has celestial elements—a moon and a star—to give it some astrological oomph. The tapering lines make the design feel delicate and dainty; it almost appears to float.
Cancer Crab
The crab is the symbol of the Cancer sign, and crab tattoos can be easily customized. Choose your own color, style, and size! This crabby tattoo has a cartoonish spin—and it’s all the cuter for it.
Cancer Constellation
Constellation tattoos are the white t-shirt of the zodiac sign tattoos: They’re basic, but beautiful nonetheless. “I really like the minimal constellation tattoos out there right now,” says tattoo artist Dillon Forte. “On Instagram, I do see a lot of users getting constellation tattoos, so clearly, some celebrities or influencers are spurring a lot of interest in that.” The artist of this particular constellation tattoo kept the design very basic, using small dots to connect little “x” marks, which show the placement of the stars in the Cancer constellation.
Leo Geometric Lion
This intricate body art is Leo through and through. Not only does it feature a lion, which is the quintessential symbol of the sign — it also has the zodiac symbol, the Leo constellation, and the sun, which rules this particular sign.
Leo Symbol
Customize your small Leo symbol with a splash of color. This tattoo used red ink for its delicate lines. “It’s nice to keep things small and more intimate, almost to remind yourself of your strength as a Leo, or your tenacity as a Capricorn, for example,” says Chu.
Leo Constellation
Want the look of a constellation tattoo in a creative spot? Try it on the upper thigh area. This tattoo is made to look like thorns on a rose stem, coming together to create the shape of a Leo constellation.
Virgo Symbol
If you want a larger design that incorporates your zodiac symbol without making it the whole tattoo, consider something like this Virgo design. The biggest aspect of the tattoo is the flower. However, the Virgo symbol is centered underneath the focal point.
Virgo Maiden
Virgo is symbolized by a maiden. This tattoo uses a mixture of different black-ink techniques, including varying line thickness and heavy shading, to depict a maiden. While the woman features many details, it’s easy for the eye to instantly find the Virgo symbol at the center of her forehead.
Virgo Constellation
This constellation tattoo features a gorgeous rose and two stars. We love how the constellation seems like it’s a part of the rose stem.
Libra Scale
Libra’s symbol is the scale, which represents balance and harmony. This delicate depiction of the symbol has dotted shading to give it a clean and crisp look.
Libra Constellation
This constellation uses small, doodle-like details to give the tattoo a sense of whimsy. A combination of dots, stars, and hearts make up the design, which also features a zodiac sign.
Libra Minimal
If you want to keep your astrology tattoo as minimal as possible, this is the perfect design. By drawing the Libra constellation using only thin lines, the design highlights the star sign’s scale in minimalistic detail. “Beyond the personal meaning and attachment, it’s also a great conversation starter if your tattoo isn’t painfully obvious on what it is,” says Forte.
Scorpio Constellation
A simple constellation tattoo can reveal so much about your personality. We love how this tattoo artist dressed up the design by peppering it with tiny hearts, stars, and planets. Plus, the pink ink adds a whimsical pop of color.
Scorpio Symbol
Sometimes the best tattoos are the simplest; this design is just a small, yet bold depiction of the Scorpio symbol. The boldness and size of the design make it stand out, though the lack of any other adornment or details makes it feel classic and effortless.
Sagittarius Constellation
Here, the artist uses a thin outline for every design element, so that no one aspect overpowers another. While the Sagittarius constellation design is front and center, the floral embellishments get just as much attention.
Sagittarius Arrow
Because Sagittarius is represented by the archer, any bow-and-arrow imagery can be used in an astrology tattoo paying homage to the sign. This arrow has a simple base design, but the shading and linework details give it additional charm.
Sagittarius Snake And Crossbow
While this design is based on the crossbow, the artist uses a snake in place of an arrow to customize the symbol. The dot composition also gives the design a unique, intricate look.
Capricorn Woman
Capricorn’s symbol is the horned goat. Here, the artist uses black outlines to create a woman with two goat horns. The shading is done with dots so as not to overwhelm the already complex design.
Capricorn Symbol
The design of this Capricorn symbol is dominated by one thin line. It gets a modern, feminine touch with a burst of leaves.
Aquarius Water Bearer
Aquarius is Latin for “water carrier,” and the sign is represented by a water bearer. This astrology tattoo uses a small water bearer that’s chock-full of dotted details to make it look like realistic pottery. It also cleverly uses the Aquarius symbol as the water pouring out of the bearer.
Aquarius Wave
Here, the design takes the Aquarius symbol’s base structure and turns it into waves. The dainty tattoo has a watery vibe that suits the astrological sign.
Pisces Symbol
An easy way to dress up a basic Pisces symbol tattoo is to add stars. We love how dainty this behind-the-ear tattoo looks, and the two simple stars above the symbol add a nice finishing touch.
