0 comments Posted by tattoos at 6:43 AM
As far as astrological signs go, Leo tattoo designs must be the easiest to come up with. If you want a zodiac sign as a tattoo & you're born between 23rd July & 23rd August, then take your pick.
You are a fire sign, so you could have flames in a variety of styles.
Your symbol is the lion, so you could have a fierce protector or a cute little cub.
Your ruling planet is the Sun, now just how many different designs for the Sun do you think there are out there?
Your metal is gold
Your gemstone is a ruby
Your personality is extrovert, proud & showy, so do we think that you're going to have a little tattoo hidden away some where? I don't think so! I've seen a fantastic head of a lion on an entire shoulder & upper arm.
The glyph for Leo (a bit like a curly snake) can be tattooed on the top of a foot, on a colourful background, very striking. I've also seen the glyphs on their own, on tops of shoulders, breasts, chests, ankles, wrists etc.
The glyphs are nice as you can have patterns entwined in them.
Their designs are printable, so once you've discovered the design that's right for you, all you have to do is print it off and take it to your tattoo parlor. I hope you enjoy looking through all the Leo tattoo designs out there, just waiting for you.
The Best Designs And Free Ideas For Leo Zodiac Tattoos
If you were born between July 23 and August 22 then under the western astrological calendar you are a Leo. Leo have wonderfully communicative personalities and love to be out there. They are often the life of the party and have a naturally affinity for the theater. Tattoos are very hot among most Leos because of the flair for the dramatic. If you are one of those people looking for a Leo tattoo for yourself or maybe you want to find a great tattoo for the Leo in your life then this article is for you. It will go into some design ideas for Leo zodiac tattoos.
Leo Tattoo Ideas: The Lion
Lions are the animal most closely associated with the Leo sign and it of course is no mistake that lions are the king of the jungle. This fits perfect with a Leo's personality of living life large! Therefor a very natural tattoo idea is to incorporate a large lion. Their great main can be flowing in the wind making for a rather large and majestic tattoo design that almost any Leo would be proud to wear. Also being king of the jungle means you get to wear a crown something most Leos will love so you might want to include a crown on your lion tattoo design.
Another great theme that can be used alone to develop a tattoo or in conjunction with other parts of a design is flames and fire. Fire is the element that rules the Leo sign and therefore is closely connected with it. There are a lot of really great tattoo designs that incorporate fire and flames and they look incredible. There are lots of bright colors and strong bold lines making a flame tattoo incredibly attractive. There is always the flames from the wrist extended up the arms but you can also choose to use flames behind the lion. It is up to you but flames always make for a great tattoo design.
Leo Zodiac Tattoo Ideas: The Sun
It really can't get any better then this can it? The Leo's is ruled by the sun and this is yet another great image that can easily be made into all kinds of really great looking tattoos. You can do a tribal sun design, a sun with a lion or just a beautiful sun with a face and rays coming down across the body. There are so many different tattoo designs for the sun that this is a perfect tattoo for any Leo it is also strong and bold.
Leo Tattoo Ideas: The Astrological Sign
As another option for your tattoo design you can always easily include the astrological symbol for the Leo. It is a sort of snake looking U shaped figure that can be done by itself but also will look great if it is incorporated into any of the above designs. It would work well with a background of flames behind it or possibly below a sun or Lion. Whatever you choose you might want to consider adding in the actual zodiac symbol for extra flare.
Leo Zodiac Tattoo Ideas: Written
If you are not sure about any of the above ideas and none of them really stand out for what you want to do then you might be thinking about getting a written tattoo. There are many different beautiful script styles and things a tattoo artist can do to supplement a written tattoo. Just getting the words Leo written in a beautiful script is a great idea. You can of course do this when combined with any of the other designs also.
Who Should Get A Leo Tattoo
One of the best thing about astrological and zodiac tattoos is they are not gender specific and they look incredible on both men and women. Of course women might not want a big black tribal of a lion on their back but there are many lion tattoos that can be done with a beautifully flower mane that would work well for women also. Really any of the designs can be done in a variety of ways to suit both males and females that is the greatest thing about zodiac tattoo designs.
Are you looking for great Aries tattoo designs?
This astrological sign lends itself beautifully to being used as a tattoo design.
Aries is the sign of the Ram, a western astrological sign for people born between 21st March & 20th April. These dates coincide with the Spring Equinox which some cultures believe is the true beginning of the year.
Interesting then that Aries is also the first sign of the zodiac.
As an Arian, you'll want to stand out from the crowd, so it's not surprising that you'll be after a tattoo.
You also have a bit of a dare-devil streak in you too.
If you go on any online tattoo galleries that offer flashes for free, then you're obviously not going to get anything special.
The ram head design for Aries can be adapted to encompass so many different styles, colours and elements. So take your time before you decide on a design.
The Aries symbol easily lends itself to styles such as tribal, Goth, or Celtic. You could include Arian elements in with the design too, like fire, skulls,thistles,honeysuckle or even symbols of war. Thorns are often associated with Aries too, so something like barbed wire would also be in keeping as an Aries tattoo design.
Aries is a fire sign, so flames featured in the tattoo would also look good.
Of course, the color associated with the first fire sign of the zodiac is red, so that would also be good to incorporate.
