Gemini Tattoo Art – Gemini Zodiac Tattoos

Zodiac symbols are hugely popular tattoo designs when someone is looking for their first tattoo. Why not get your personal symbol tattooed on your body? The Gemini tattoo is the most sought after tattoo in the Zodiac symbols.

When someone decides to get a Gemini tattoo they usually get it very small. Some people even like to hide the fact that they have the Gemini tattoo on their body, while others will place them in obvious places such as the forearms, neck and shoulders. Some who want to hide their Gemini tattoo will place it on their hip or in other private places of the body, while still some people try to ‘sneak’ their Gemini tattoo in with other designs on their body to hide the symbol.

There are tons of zodiac tattoos that you can place on your body; it’s a matter of choosing the right one for you. The most popular form of this tattoo style is a small and traditional form as well as modern styles added to the tattoo. Adding colors and even Roman numeral signs for a Gemini tattoo is popular.

Most Gemini tattoos are placed on the wrist, ankle and even the hip bone as they are small tattoos. These designs can be large but most people opt to have them smaller to demonstrate their personal zodiac symbol.

There are hundreds and thousands of pictures of zodiac tattoos and Gemini tattoos in general. It’s best to look through pictures and ideas of these tattoos to get a clear idea of what you want.

You do not have to be born under the sign of Gemini to get a tattoo of the twins’ symbol, but who would not want to be?  Gemini is the sign for all those who were born from May 21st to June 21st.  The ending day of this sign signals the very moment of the summer solstice.  Gemini is the third astrological sign in the Zodiac.  It originates from the constellation of Gemini.  Gemini is closely associated with the planet Mercury and is considered to be ruled by this planet making this a somewhat masculine sign.  Under this sign, you will find charming optimistic, creative and smart people.  Geminis are compatible with many different types of people but especially people born under the Libra and Aquarius signs.  They share common attributes such as an airy demeanor and intelligence.

The symbol for Gemini can be either literally a pair of twins or two vertical lines side by side with horizontal lines at the top and bottom.  This symbol can be confused with the Roman numeral two.  Because of its simplicity, this sign’s symbol can be used with complex backgrounds or simple ones. If you use only the symbol and perhaps a one color background there is some danger of the tattoo being too plain.

If you put a tribal spin to the tattoo it can give it a kicky edge.  These can look really good on men or women, but they can come off looking somewhat masculine. Tribal tattoos can also make this single image blend in with other more stylized tattoos you either already have or might get.  If you want a more feminine look, you might try adding a bright background and some floral images to the Gemini tattoo.  For instance, flowers can climb one of the horizontal lines or a butterfly can come to rest on one of the vertical lines on top.  This gives the tattoo more appeal if there are other busier tattoos vying for attention.

This type of tattoo can be large or small. A small tattoo used with floral designs would look on the shoulder, upper arm, lower arm, the thigh, ankle or foot.  Used with a tribal band it would work well on the bicep, lower arm, wrist or ankle.

A larger, more detailed Gemini tattoo would look good as part of a half-sleeve or full sleeve design.  With a detailed pagan, Roman, Greek or new age background, it would look good across the shoulders, down the back, across the chest, across the abdomen or even wrapped around a leg.

Check with your tattoo artist and see if there are any concepts you can look at to get ideas. Check on the internet as well because new ideas are being posted to tattooing web sites all the time.  This is a great tattoo as it allows the wearer to share something personal about their life with the world.

Tattoo Birth Signs To Show Who You Are

If you want instant recognition for who you are, getting a birth sign tattoo is a great idea. Tattoo birth signs are also very distinctive and dramatic. They offer great design options ranging from large to small, outlines to the very detailed.

Tattoo birth signs start with the first of the 12 signs of the Zodiac: Capricorn.  This is the sign of those who were born between the December 23rd and January 20^th. This sign is represented by the goat. On the plus side, Capricorns are generally very practical and down to earth. Their terrific sense of humor makes it all worthwhile through.  The symbol of Capricorn looks great on the shoulder or chest where you have space for lots of detail.

Born from January 21^st through February 19^th, Aquarius people are under the water symbol.  If you’ve seen the musical Hair then you might have heard the song Aquarius about the many attributes of this birth sign such as humanitarian outlook, honesty and loyalty, not to mention the inventiveness of this sign.  This sign might be best with tattoo lettering to go with it as some people don’t know what the symbol of the water carry is meant to convey.

Pisces is the sign for those born February 20^th through March 20^th.  This symbol  of two fish makes a great tattoo and it is easily identified with the zodiac it represents. Ruled by Neptune, those born during this time are sensitive, imaginative and kind, with an innocent nature.  Keep in mind when getting the tattoo for this sign that the traditional colors are sea green and dark green.

Aries, March 21^st through April 20^th, has the ram as a symbol. This is another great tattoo that can be either detailed or simple. This sign is known for energetic go-getters so go out and get that tattoo.

Taurus folks are born from April 21 through May 21^st and their symbol of course is the bull, another great symbol for tattoo art. Bulls can be jealous and a little self indulgent but they’re also patient and warm-hearted.

Gemini is the sign of the twins.  From May 22^nd to June 21^st, this sign is of course about duality.  Twins can be somewhat difficult to depict, but many tattoo artists have tackled this problem before and can show you how they solved it.

Cancer, also called the Crab, is from June 22^nd to July 22^nd and these are the most loyal and easy to be around people of the Zodiac. The sign of the crab is also a great tattoo with a lot of potential for good backgrounds as well.

Leo the lion is perhaps the best for tattoo ink of all the signs, especially since the colors of this sign are gold and ruby red. Born between July 23^rd and August 22^nd, these folks are warmhearted and free, but they can roar if crossed.

Virgos are born August 23^rd through September 23^rd and their sign is one of the least easily recognized of the Zodiac. The virgin is usually depicted as a young woman.  The tattoo is easy, but the constant explaining to those ignorant of its meaning might be tough.

Libras are born between September 23^rd and October 22^nd and have love on their minds most of the time.  Scales, the symbol for Libra, is very distinctive and recognizable. This tattoo can go anywhere.

A Scorpio tattoo is for those born between October 23rd and November 21^st. The symbol looks like an M which might confuse those who aren’t up on things astrological.

Sagittarius folks are born between November 22^nd and December 21^st and if you want a loyal friend you’ll find them under this sign.  The tattoo symbol for this sign is an arrow with a line bisecting it.
