Aquarius Tattoos and Tattoo Designs Pictures Gallery

Of course the first motivation for someone to get an Aquarius tattoo could be to express their star sign whose characteristics include non-conformism, artistic creativity and communication skills. The most common image found on skin is of a handsome man pouring water from a jug across his shoulder or a beautiful young woman swimming in the ocean. Other tattoos depict fairies and other fantastical apparitions.

Those tattoo-lovers who want realism may ask their artist to use Japanese woodblock effects in preference to the old school jagged lines symbol common in the Zodiac. There are, however, various other images that are related to this star sign such as the planet Uranus, the turquoise sun stone and the air element. All of these have found expression in Aquarius tattoos at various times and on various people. It has been possible to combine all these facets into, for example, a tattoo of an armored man carrying water and stood upon the surface of Uranus while removing turquoise stones from his jug.

Sometimes the bare outline of the constellation is shown with a broad spread of the stars across a big area of the body. This can result in a more effective design that will impress people by virtue of its sheer simplicity.

What is more impressive to people, though, is innovation. Try to think outside of the box with your Aquarius tattoo. What a lot of people don’t know is that this star sign is associated with a wide range of plants such as orchids – a very diverse flower with thousands of species which can possess quite surreal and amazing shapes and colors. Alternatively go for a goldenrod or a dandelion, both of which are very interesting visually. For something really exotic why not plump for a bird of paradise which looks very much as its name suggests.

Perhaps a more literal approach is your bag? If so, why not just get a tattoo that spells out, in an interesting font, the name of your star sign? An elegant calligraphic script would seem to capture the essence of this sign but, as always, the final decision must lie with you and accord with your own personal tastes and desires.
