A Pisces Tattoo and Other Meaningful Ink ...

Cool tattoos are something we all notice on people, often wondering what is the story behind that image, design or a symbol. Many folks around the world have at least one tattoo. Some have even more and could probably spend two days discussing how thrilled they are with every new tattoo and how interesting and challenging the whole process really is. Even celebrities have some pretty cool tats. Since I recently got some new ink, I’ve decided to list and explain 17 of the most popular symbols from Pisces tattoos to flowers and moons to inspire you if you're considering some new ink.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Zodiac Tattoos

Zodiac Tattoos It doesn't just have to be a Pisces tattoo; any Zodiac ink is great! Some people get these tattoos for the obvious reason: it's their zodiac sign. There are other people who get these tattoos as a representation of somebody else. You can do the constellation of your Zodiac, the symbol, or even someone a little less obvious; either way they make for some really great tattoos.

UPD:

Zodiac tattoos are more than just a way to show off your sign; they can be a meaningful representation of someone special in your life, or a reminder of the traits associated with your sign. There are several different ways to represent zodiac tattoos, from the constellation of the sign to the symbol or even something less obvious.

These tattoos are popular among all ages and genders, and can be placed anywhere on the body. They can be as simple or as intricate as you like, and can be done in any color or style. The placement of the tattoo is also important; for example, if you want to represent strength and courage, a tattoo on the arm or chest might be best.

No matter what the reason for getting a zodiac tattoo, it is important to research the design and placement beforehand. It is also important to make sure the tattoo artist is experienced and reputable, as a poorly done tattoo can be difficult to fix.

Zodiac tattoos are a great way to show off your sign, and can be a meaningful reminder of someone special in your life. With the right design and placement, they can be a beautiful addition to your body art collection.

Chinese Characters

Chinese Characters If you have a blank spot you’d like to see covered in ink or are simply looking for a tattoo that is small but still meaningful, Chinese symbols are definitely something you should focus your research on. These complex, so called “logograms” are not letters or just cool-looking drawings but symbols that represent a certain word or an object and can be used individually (like “Strength,” “Courage,” “Faith”) or combined into cool tattoos that form a saying or even a story. Just make sure you know what you're getting so you don't wind up with something tattooed on you that you didn't want!

Butterfly

Butterfly Many people would advise you not to get a butterfly tattoo and, if you ever wanted one, I’m sure you’re familiar with all the bad meanings of these, in my opinion, very cool tattoos. Short-term physical beauty, unstable personality and vanity are just some of them, so if you’re afraid what people may think of you, I’d advise you to look for something different. The ones who don’t really care what others may think of their tattoos might be interested to know that butterfly tattoos have many positive, even deeply spiritual meanings! Ancient cultures believed these fragile creatures are vessels that transport souls from Earth to Heaven and back, their amazing transformation and short lifespan being, of course, a metaphor for human life. A butterfly tattoo can be a deeply emotional one as well, as you can choose it to honor a very special woman who died well ahead of her time.

Eye of Horus

Eye of Horus This Egyptian symbol, also known as the “Eye of Ra” or “The All seeing Eye,” should bring its wearer good luck and prosperity, bless him with wisdom and keep him safe, protected from ills and people who wish him bad. It’s actually a very popular tattoo nowadays and although that has a lot to do with its cool looks and the fact that it’s basically a good luck charm, the visual and spiritual component can’t be denied either. The Eye of Ra could symbolize a person that’s dear to you, a person that was always there to guide and protect you (a mother, for example), your internal strength and ability to see through fake smiles and fancy clothes or a spiritual guidance of some kind.

5

Celtic Symbols

Celtic Symbols Ornate and kind of mystical – various forms of Celtic crosses certainly fall under the category of cool tattoos many people opt for. You see, ladies and gents, although Celtic crosses are basically religious symbols used to honor one’s heritage, the circle that connects four axes as well as the unbreakable curvy line that decorates the cross can also mean “eternity.” The cross itself has generated from the pagan tradition of sun and moon worship and could also symbolize the joining of all four basic elements (air, water, fire and earth), which could ultimately mean “power” or even “balance.”

Famous Quotes

Maori Tattoos

Maori Tattoos These Polynesian tribal tattoos or at least their modern versions are even popular with celebrities. Although each tattoo is different and kind of personalized to trace natural lines, there is a set of rules an artist must have in mind when drawing these precise lines and curves, which means you can choose this cool art to show that your professional decision to do things by the book doesn’t affect your creativity, uniqueness or, perhaps, a quirky personality.

7

Koi Fish

Koi Fish This bright-colored carp is a valuable collector’s item and a central figure of many Chinese and Japanese myths about courage as well as many other positive qualities, such as the ability to set high goals and achieve them, and the emotional and spiritual strength needed to overcome hardships. This fish is believed to act like a samurai, bravely awaiting its death after being caught, and its ability to swim upstream for miles in order to find food has become a symbol of perseverance.

8

Flowers

Flowers Flower tattoos are very popular with women all around the world! You see, ladies and gents, apart from being beautiful and delicate, various flowers can stand for different personal qualities! Orchid can mean beauty, love and even luxury For example: The lotus is a symbol of purity, intelligence, love and wisdom, Plumeria symbolizes friendship and warmth and so on and on and on. Every flower you can think of can stand for something beautiful and special to you, and since flower tats can be made to look as beautiful as the real deal, having them on your skin won’t ruin your fragile, feminine and delicate style.

Music Sheets and/or Notes

Music Sheets and/or Notes Seen on many world-known musicians as well as other, maybe not so popular but definitely talented people, notes, clefs and music sheets certainly are interesting elements you could choose to have inked on your skin. People choose these cool tattoos because they can symbolize talent, love, devotion, art or even pain and different spiritual things.

10

Matching Tattoos

Matching Tattoos Matching tattoos can be really great! They signify a bond that is deemed so unbreakable that the people feel comfortable getting it permanently inked into their skin. While these types of tattoos get over used and people tend to regret them, when they are shared with people such as your sisters, parents, children, etc., they can be very special and meaningful. If done well these tattoos can be really cool and beautiful.

*Added: If you want to be smart; find a matching tattoo that has dual meanings. For instance, I got an arrow with my best friend. I loved it because of the saying that "An arrow can only be shot by being pulled back; so when you feel like life is pulling you back just remember you will be lauched into greatness." Plus our BFF meaning is about being soul sisters. Unfortunately we're not friends anymore BUT I still have a super powerful tattoo on me that I love to show off. :)

Quote Tattoos

Quote Tattoos There are millions of quotes in this world, so it makes sense that people can feel a strong connection with them. Quotes can be used to remind someone of their past, help them look towards the future, or describe themselves in a ways they never thought possible. Different people will have different meanings behind whatever quote they choose and more times than not the answer may be a story that gives insight to the person that you never knew was possible.

12

Ribbon Tattoos

Ribbon Tattoos There are a lot of different ribbon tattoos. These tattoos symbolize what the ribbons themselves represent, i.e. pink for breast cancer and yellow for the troops. These tattoos are used to mark an experience that has happened to you or a loved one. Ribbons tattoos aren't always sad markers like the passing of someone, but they also mark the overcoming of events such as cancer. The ribbon tattoos can be beautiful and hold such meaning.

13

Name Tattoos

Name Tattoos Name tattoos can also be really beautiful and meaningful, just like all of the other tattoos on this list. Getting the name of a child or parent is something that is pretty common, but there are a lot of ways to personalize them. While the name itself is special, you can also add something special about that person, whether it be a color, a flower, a foot/hand print, etc. These are great tattoos to show someone you love how much you love them.

14

Feather Tattoos

Feather Tattoos I personally think that feather tattoos are really beautiful. Not only are they beautiful, but they can represent so many different things. They can represent loss, birth, luck, a love of writing (as in a quill), or many other things, depending on the bird you have chosen to represent in the feather. Different feathers represent different things and since many people aren't aware of this information, it can be even more special to you.

UPD:

Feather tattoos are a popular choice for those looking for meaningful ink. Feathers have long been associated with freedom, the ability to soar and move freely through the sky. They can also represent a spiritual journey and are often seen as a sign of hope. Feathers can also represent a variety of other things depending on the color and type of bird they are associated with. For example, a peacock feather can signify beauty and grace, while a blue jay feather can represent intelligence and protection.

In addition to their symbolic meanings, feather tattoos can also be a great way to express yourself. They are often seen as a sign of creativity and can be used to represent a love of writing, music, or art. They can also be used to commemorate a special event or person in your life.

No matter what you choose to represent with your feather tattoo, it is important to remember that the meaning behind the tattoo is unique to you. Feather tattoos are a great way to express yourself and show off your personality. They are also a great way to honor those you love and remember special moments in your life.

Moon Tattoos

Moon Tattoos There are so many different things that the moon can mean, it's amazing. Depending on your religion or zodiac sign, the moon can be a representation of those things that are special to you. On the other hand, the different phases of the moon can represent different phases of a person's life. Personally, I love moon tattoos that show the different phases of the moon and feel that it has a special meaning to the person who got it.

16

Wrist Tattoos

Wrist Tattoos I love a good wrist tattoo. From my own experience, I've seen that wrist tattoos are some of the most meaningful tattoos out there. Why? They tend to be a reminder to the person who got the tattoos. Whether it says "love," "strength," "faith," "stay strong," "never again," or some other word or name that means something, it usually is a reminder to the person that they need everyday. Yes, sometimes it's just because it looks cool, but sometimes there is a deeper meaning.

17

Religious Tattoos

Religious Tattoos Religious tattoos tend to be synonymous with crosses, Mary, Jesus, angels, etc., but there are plenty of religious tattoos for other religions. When somebody's very religious or has somebody close to them that is really religious, it's common for them to get a religious icon tattoo. These can be really beautiful tattoos if done properly. Sometimes people get tattoos that are too big and go on the tacky side, which can take away from it's meaning.

Whatever tattoo you get for whatever reason, I'm sure it's going to be great! Just make sure you pick a good studio, clean, and NEVER do your own tattoos (unless you're a pro).

So tell me... Are you a Pisces with a Pisces tattoo? Or maybe you're rocking some super meaningful religious ink? Let me know what tattoos you have in the comments!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I have a tattoo of a Pegasus on my ribcage and although I get some weird looks (probably also because I'm so petit and no one would ever expect that of ME) I love it and it means a great deal to me

Having a tattoo is a crime in the workplace?

@Susan elfman Both are correct. Tattoo had several names.

there is nothing wrong with getting a tattoo with something that has meaning to you. That being said, all of these tattoos mentioned are SOOOOOOO dated! Can't you share some new/genuine/creative ones? Sheesh.

The Eye of Horus has nothing to do with Satan. Someone just said that because they wanted to make it controversial. It is simply an Egyptian hyrogliph that brings luck.

My first tattoo is going to be a flower on my lower stomach (:
