Leos are cheerful, charismatic, and love to perform. If you love being the star of the show, represent that with actual star tattoos. Or, depending on your creative outlet, a guitar or music notes could also be good picks.

Libras are sociable and make great friends, so your best bet is to get matching tattoos with your BFF or group of friends. You'll have to decide as a group what to get, but that shouldn't be a problem since Libras are also peace-loving and easygoing.

Scorpios are charming, passionate, and have a magnetic attraction, so whatever tattoo you get, it should be in a sexy spot that only a lucky few will get the chance to see.

Sags are known for being optimistic and happy, so a simple and pretty "happiness" tattoo is fitting.

Capricorns are practical, reserved, and responsible, so you should get something on the small side in a place that can easily be covered up for work.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

An Aquarius is a loyal friend and partner with a humanitarian spirit. You should pick a tattoo that honours an important cause you support or a meaningful date (like a lost loved one's birthday or an anniversary).

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)

A Pisces is imaginative and artistic while also having an almost-otherworldly intuition. For this sign, you'll want a uniquely designed tattoo that shows off your creative side and maybe incorporates something like stars or planets.

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

An Aries is confident, enthusiastic, and adventurous, so get in touch with your daredevil side with a tattoo that reads something like "guts over fear," "wanderlust," or simply, "adventure."

A Taurus is loving, warmhearted, and affectionate, so what better symbol is there than a heart?

A Gemini is continuously curious, inquisitive, and yearning to learn new things. A tree tattoo perfectly represents this need to grow and change.
