Hello all,How many people here have tattoos based on astrology in some way? Planets, signs, symbols, etc? I see a lot of people with a tattoo of their sun sign but I wonder if they actually study astrology or if it's just because it looks cool. I think if I got a tattoo I'd get the symbol of Jupiter since I'm a Sag. I really like the look of it.. Anyway, discuss! ~shirty ps. maybe if you have a picture of your tattoos or one you'd like to get you could post it too! IP: Logged |

Oh! You have asked the right question to me!I have, on my back, the Druadic Threefold Triple Goddess, which in Celtic symbology represents the maiden, mother, crone, the 3 aspects of womanhood/goddess. However, I have also seen the symbol in reference to the everywoman of Pisces, which I am a Pisces sun/Venus and loosly coorelated to the trident of the God Neptune! On my foot is a tribal fish, that I had custom drawn for me (the Celtic symbol was also custom.) I could not find or draw a Pisces glyph that I was happy enough with, so I decided on the tribal fish. On my hip is a crescent moon with stars going across it, which is something I saw in the early morning sky shortly after my husband died and symbolizes my unending attraction to the heavens! I have alot of Aqua in my birth chart and my next tat will have something to do with Aquarius! This will be an interesting thread! Thanks for starting! Terri IP: Logged |

Hey Terri!I had the thought of starting this thread yesterday out of nowhere, and I figured it would be pretty interesting. If I ever get a tattoo it will definitely involve astrology in some way! Yours sound unique! Do you have any pictures by any chance? I like the idea of getting more than one, to represent different parts of your chart. And the crescent moon is just adorable! Thanks for sharing ~shirty IP: Logged |

I've been wanting to get another tattoo for a while, and I was thinking about getting the symbols for my sun, moon, and ascendant in a triangular formation on my lower back. I think that would be cool. I knew a girl in college that had the Cancer symbol scrolled across both of her big toes. That looked cool, but she said it hurt like he*l!IP: Logged |

Oh, I would never put the cancer symbol on my body. Hello, 69? I do have a Gothic-style Crucifix on my right thigh though. My Scorpio friend was thinking about this one day. She said she didn't want the scorpion istelf though. She said it was too masculine for her (that's her libra venus talking ). But she also said she hated the latin symbol too. She also has a crucifix but it's on her back dedicated in the memory of her Father My bf , on the other hand, is thinking of getting the Scorpion done. I think it'll look sick

I have 4 tattoos and my most recent one is the Sagittarius symbol. Only got it a couple of months ago. I'm really chuffed with it, it's my favorite tattoo.Would love to get the Jupiter symbol too. CrankyCap, love your idea of having sun, moon and asc in triangle. If I ever get any more I'm stealing your idea. IP: Logged |

Yeah I like the idea of combining your major signs to make one tattoo. It's more unique to the person instead of just the general sun sign..It's so hard to decide on a tattoo though! It freaks me out! IP: Logged |

I had considered designing a zodiac inspired, yet personal tattoo, but neither of the ones I have are like that... I might incorporate personal symbols into my next tattoo... But the one that pretty much just finished healing up, is a peacock feather, but I find it very phoenix like.... I just took a pic, but it wraps around my ankle a bit. IP: Logged |

Secretseeker - Thanks! I thought that was a fun idea. Hopefully I can get it sometime this year. If I do I'll try to post a pic on here. Don't mind at all if you do the same thing - I'd consider that a compliment. We should all get them - kind of like a secret "code" for Lindaland members...lol. IP: Logged |

No tattoos as of yet, but I will be getting a an astro inspired piece of art right across my entire back. I drew it in Photoshop and it combines many aspects of my Personality and spiritual things that mean alot to me! IP: Logged |

I think one of the most common astrological tattoos I see around is the symbol for Leo. It's very simple, but curvy and appealing. I've also seen Cancer and Scorpio, but that's all.IP: Logged |

I have 10 tattoo's and not one is Astrology related. Which is odd since I've been interested in it since I was a teenager. IP: Logged |

I plan to get one but not to big. Small and black saying my name Jennifer in Ancient Egyptian.I also want one with my dog's name but I will get it in winter when the cold numbs it because I'm a ***** for pain. ------------------ Gemini/Cancer Cusp, Cancer ascendant, Taurus moon *29, Taurus venus, Libra mars *----------*----------* Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity.
