Tattoo of Zodiac Symbols – How to Spice Them Up

Tattoo of zodiac symbols seem to be the most popular choice for those looking to etch their body for the first time. Yes…apart from being the most widely used body art piece, astrological signs are also regarded by many as dowdy and boring due to the abundance of generic looking symbols easily available in cyberspace. I have to respectfully disagree with the former as tattoo of zodiac symbols are very personal as they make great representation of who you are and furthermore, they are time tested thus will never go out of style. However, I do agree that most of them are extremely bland looking and hence, in dire need of some tweaking to bring out bring out the “oomph factor”.

If you hate the idea of etching your body permanently with clip-art designs, it’s high time you stop browsing those generic tattoo sites, and make a decision. You can either get a common zodiac symbol like everybody else or take control and get original creations that will make you gleam with pride. So here are few ways to spice up the symbol of your choice:

Combine your zodiac symbol with a realistic custom design. If you’re a Scorpio for instance, merge the typical symbol with a highly detailed rendition of a scorpion.

Combine western and Chinese zodiac. You can come up with some nifty designs by fusing western and Chinese zodiac together – to quote an example, my tattoo artist was born under the sign of the lion and dragon respectively. He has an amazingly cool tattoo of a Chinese dragon and a lion facing one another with a large star in between them. But this fusion thing won’t work for everyone I’m afraid and to quote another example, my western astrological sign is Pisces while my Chinese one is a pig. So, what options does that leave me (*sigh*)?

Check out online tattoo databases. At online databases, you can come across lot of unique tattoo of zodiac symbols. They are what I call the “little-known places” to acquire gorgeous designs that simply can’t be found in those generic tattoo sites.

Combine two different zodiac symbols. Instead of getting a significant other’s name on your body, why not opt for his or her horoscope instead? Not only it’ll make for a great looking tattoo design, it’ll also save you the horror of spending your hard-earned bucks on cover-ups or removal surgery in case things don’t work out between the both of you.

Break out the pencil and paper and start doodling. Doing a series of rough doodles can really get the creative juice flowing and before you know it – you’d have come with up a bunch of sleek modifications to spice up any tattoo of zodiac symbols that you see on the Web.
