- We rounded up our favourite Taurus zodiac tattoos to inspire your next piece.
In western astrology, your zodiac sign [3] is Taurus if you were born between April 20 and May 20. Symbolized by the bull, this sign is often considered hardworking, stable, and steadfast in their beliefs. If you fall under the sign, you're in good company; celebrities like Adele [4], Jessica Alba [5], and Megan Fox [6] are also Taureans — and if you're anything like these stars, chances are you may also have your own collection of tattoos.
Whether you already have a handful of designs or are looking to get your first piece of ink, there's no better place to draw inspiration than your zodiac sign. For example, you can take a page out of Adele's playbook and go the planetary route [7] (the singer has a portrait of the Saturn on her wrist), or get a few tiny tattoos [8] in the shape of a constellation. Another option is to just take a look at the tattoo styles that are currently trending [9] and go the custom route. The options are endless.
Should you want a tattoo that solidifies your love for your zodiac sign, we're here to help. Whether it's a classic script or a portrait of the Taurean bull, there are so many ways to get creative with a Taurus tattoo. The inspiration ahead will leave you starry eyed.
Taurus Tattoo: Fine Line Bull
If you like a delicate look to your tattoos, try a fine line design of the Taurus bull with additional elements like the Taurus constellation. You can also add a softer touch to your ink by incorporating flowers and plants, as seen here.
Taurus Tattoo: Bull Blackwork
If you prefer a more straightforward Taurus design, look at tattooing techniques like blackwork to make your bull design pop. Then, play around with different placements to add a touch of personality to the design. A tiny tattoo behind the ear sends a different message than a bold design on your bicep like the one seen here.
Taurus Tattoo: Tiny Taurus Symbol
If you're looking for a hidden tattoo, consider inking an area with a discreet location like behind the ear or on your ankle. Another good option is to go for the Taurus symbol, which looks much more minimal and abstract.
Taurus Tattoo: Abstract Bull
If you love art and contrasting lines, give your Taurus bull design an abstract twist. You can also incorporate your other interests; for example, if you have a green thumb, add in your favourite flower or vines.
Taurus Tattoo: '90s Design
'90s tattoos are making a big comeback, so why not get your Taurus tattoo in the nostalgic style? Play around with colour and the exaggerated, cartoon-like finishes that we popular in the early aughts.
Taurus Tattoo: Colourful Artwork
If you really want to make a statement, get your Taurus tattoo in a location that can't be missed. The design seen here also has an almost ethereal quality to it, thanks to the addition of colour and ornaments like jewels and beads.
