What’s Your Zodiac Tattoo

Our Universe is a very strange place to be in. Our earth is born from and gets its life due to other stars. Those who believe in astrology and related sciences also believe that the movement of these stars play an important role as to how living beings are and how do they lead their lives. The concept in itself is known to have roots in Babylon’s astrology. There are various Zodiac Signs that people believe in. In Western astrology, astrological signs are the twelve 30° sectors of the ecliptic, starting at the vernal equinox. The order of the astrological signs is Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. On similar lines, the concepts of Indian Astrology are based on ‘Nakshatras’ and the Chinese Astrology is based on the signs of the 12 animals. Since, tattoos are a true artistic reflection of our inner selves and our beliefs, Zodiac Tattoos have been a rage in individuals who believe in Zodiacs and their manifestation on our lives.

Zodiac Signs are permanent in nature for each individual, as they are based on the birth dates. This makes them a choice option for the creative hearted individuals who see them as a base part of their personality. Interestingly, for tattoo lovers they can be manifested in a tattoo in small dainty zodiac symbols, as well as large exaggerated colorful designs of their Zodiac images or Gods. The Unicode characters are also an option to be inked. The choices in this vertical are varied and huge, and completely dependent on the individual’s choice and mood. Let us take a quick peek into these choices:

Tattooing For Girls

‘And one day she discovered that she was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears’ – Mark Anthony
Powerful girls and women are undoubtedly, a statement in themselves. They hardly need jewelry or flamboyant attires to prove themselves. They know that they can achieve whatever their heart desires, but somehow our society requires them to prove it again and again. ‘Tattoo Art’ is slowly but steadily becoming a choice option for these women who wish to proclaim their fierceness for the society as well as themselves with designs or memoirs that are somehow close to their heart or their mindsets.

Tattooing is a huge inclination of passion for actresses in Hollywood. Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Cheryl, Jessica Alba, Emma Watson and even Victoria Beckham and Rihanna own their unique tattoos that they adore and love to flaunt. Even our very own bolly-wood female celebrities are not behind in their love for getting inked. The oh-so-famous Priyanka Chopra’s ‘daddy’s girl’ tattoo, Deepika Padukone’s ‘RK’ tattoo, is famous like the celebrities who own them. Even Anoushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Jacqueline Fernandez have got inked. Esha Deol, coming from an elite bolly-wood family and a prestigious modeling and movie career got her famous Sanskrit language tattoo by the master craftsmen, Aman Masta. Point being that; for fashion, or to imprint their mindsets, or to try to ink a memory, they have had it in them to break chauvinistic stereotypes and were even ready to bear pain for it.

There are many choices for an open minded woman in terms of the tattoos that she can opt for. It could be the large shaded ones with exaggerate designs and varied colors, or it could be something small that holds a special place in their hearts. Generally stating, in recent years, the choice of more and more females have been shifting towards smaller, minimalist style tattoos, rather than the traditional ink heavy ones. It definitely does not mean that girls have a specific choice. Rather, its shows that girls are not limited to only getting colorful ‘girly tattoos’ as they were earlier called.

Dainty tattoos at easily visible places like near the ankle, wrists, nape, etc. are the boom these days. But, girls or boys, everyone should be careful about what you chose and where you chose as tattooing is a small surgery in itself. They permeate inside your skin and become a part of you. Thus, if a tattoo goes wrong; deleting it or altering it shall further take a whole lot of pain and work. According to us, ‘Inking’ is always a good idea. If you want it, go for the best; but chose the design and your story wisely.
