Pisces Tattoos

Pisces Tattoos

Pisces tattoo designs are quite flexible in that the universal symbol of this sun sign is two fish. These fish, called Ichtyes by the Greeks, are commonly represented in a yin yang style – each fish head followed by the other’s tail forming a circular shape. Besides fish, there are numerous other sea creatures that can be incorporated into Pisces tattoos to create a more personalized design: twin dolphins, whales, sharks, sea horses or mermaids for example. Pisces tattoos commonly include this zodiac’s glyph symbol. Mirroring the double fish pattern, the Pisces glyph has an "H" shape in which the two vertical lines bend toward each other in the middle while bowing out at the tops and bottoms. The simplicity of this symbol lends itself to limitless design possibilities. For example, women seeking more feminine Pisces tattoos may choose designs featuring roses intertwined with the glyph while men may prefer snakes slithering up the glyph. The Pisces zodiac is a water sign that reveals a dreamy, gentle, affectionate, compassionate and deep nature. However, Pisces individuals are noted as having dual, or split, personalities: silent then highly talkative, happy then very unhappy, lazy then highly motivated. If this sounds like you then go ahead and get the design inked.

Pisces Tattoos

Here’s some rather decent nice looking samples of pisces tattoos with a couple of nearly identical little fish who are swimming in a circle as if chasing each others tales. As in the never ending cycle of life and death which is what they represent of course. They also say that a person who is born under the pisces sign is imaginative and sensitive. Compassionate and kind. Selfless and unworldly and intuitive and sympathetic. Wow that’s a mouthful. And it seems to be a whole of things at once for any one person.

So if you are a pisces and you are interested in possibly getting your astrological sign as a tattoo there are many, many tattoos one can choose from. Some are exact representations of the whatever the sign is and some are simply artistic take offs on what they are suppose to be. In other words, ones drawn that may look different but mean the very same thing. So you see, not all pisces tattoos are created equal. They all do not have to be fish even though that is the first thing someone thinks of. A good artist will have two other objects acting exactly like the fish.

Heart Tattoo

Heart Tattoo

The heart tattoo is the classic tattoo design standard. Heart tattoos have been popular for well over a century. Heart tattoos with banners were very popular with servicemen in WWII. They were tokens of their loved ones that accompanied them on perilous journeys to far-off theatres of conflict and a constant reminder of what and whom they were fighting for. The heart is often symbolic of love and devotion among several different cultures. The pictured design combines this traditional symbolism inside the context of a cross design. The vertical and horizontal lines of the cross represent Father and Mother Nature, respectively. The point of intersection of those two lines or the point of synthesis is represented of those mystical and spiritual concepts that embraced the meeting of the material and the spiritual in human existence. The four corners also symbolize the major elements which are water, earth, air and fire. Symbols like the cross go back long before the written word. One of the oldest crosses was placed within a circle. These solar or wheel crosses appeared in Neolithic Europe, often as art or rock carvings. They are also found in Asia, America, and India, as representations of the rising and setting of the sun, the seasons, and the union of the polarities. So, the addition of the heart tattoo in a cross pattern was a very symbolic choice for the bearer.

Heart Tattoo

Here is a heart tattoo that bears taking a look at. One that appears that it had been torn in half and now has been mended, at least partially, by having been sewn back together. Quite possibly by the hand of another person. No matter how you look at it this tattoo represents absolute heartbreak. But it also represents a persons ability to come back from that absolute heartbreak, repair the damage and start anew. Someone with the inner strength and fortitude that it takes to get over such a terrible thing and come out of it even stronger than before. That is something that speaks to the very condition of man kind and his ability to overcome adversity.
We have all had a broken heart in our lives. There are no exceptions. Some are worse than others and certainly some hurt more than others. But to the person it is happening to, when it is happening, there can be nothing worse. And that is why a heart tattoo like this one will always be around. A broken heart is not something easily forgotten and the getting over the broken heart is something well worth remembering. It may prevent it from happening again.

Nautical Star Tattoo

Nautical Star Tattoo

This image of a nautical star tattoo is a very telling one. It is bleeding and that can be saying a lot all by itself. The nautical star is a symbol long used by sailors to show they have braved the wilds of the worlds seas and survived. And I am thinking that the bleeding represents someone trying to say that it was not an easy thing to do at all. This person is saying that to have survived their ordeal at sea took everything from them including their blood. They want to make sure that people understand that the life of sailor is no walk in the park.

I would think a nautical star tattoo like this one, meaning one that is bleeding, would suit any one of those guys that goes out king crab fishing in Alaska on that Deadliest Catch television show. Because those guys pay very dearly for their experience at sea, and very often with the lives of their friends and family members. Those men lay their lives on the line very single time they go to sea yet they continue to do it over and over again. They are indeed the most adventuress sailors in the world today.

Nautical Star Tattoo

The nautical star has been used by both genders, numerous social groups, and cultural heritages. Each group has their own lore behind the choice making this a very versatile symbol. It’s quickly recognizable, can be done relatively fast, and has strong meaning. The longest history belongs to sailors (hence the nautical style part). Since man has first sailed, they used the stars as early navigation aids, so it’s only natural that nautical star tattoos would retain some value for them. In the past 50 years nautical star tattoos have caught on with gays and lesbians, punk rockers, vegans, straight-edge, and military soldiers. Each group uses it a common symbol. Like sailors, the idea of navigating your own path against all obstacles is very appealing. Keep that in mind when choosing your design. Nautical star tattoos will work anywhere on your body, but It is most often done on the arms or chest in a smaller style. The most important choice you can make for your nautical star tattoo is the color choice. A monochrome star does not look nearly as good as a two or three color design. A good color choice is red and black. Also, blue and black can look good.
