Zodiac Tattoo Designs - Aries Tattoo Ideas

As an Arian, you are a person who is a leader, someone who likes to take charge, to take the initiative. You are a self-starter, fearless and confident. You are a person of action - someone who likes challenges and enjoys achievement. You are not deterred by the fact others have not gone where you want to go, as you do not mind breaking new ground.

You like to do things your way, which means you can have trouble in a team environment but you can provide leadership. You are goal oriented and have no trouble going after your own goals. Others can go with you or get out of your way. You are passionate about life and your beliefs. This can make you impatient and intolerant but it is balanced by your sense of fairness.


Does that sound like you? How will you express yourself with a tattoo? What Aries tattoo design is you? There are plenty to consider but because of you nature, you may want something different.

Aries Tattoo Designs

The planet Mars, often called the red planet, rules Arians. This is the reason many Aries tattoo images are red or have some red in them. Because the planet appears red it was named after the Roman god of war. Some tattoos reflect this connection - an Aries sign with a flaming sword is an old favorite. But there is no reason to have any red; it simply gives you more choices. You can of course, incorporate the color by adding something to the image. The Aries symbol with a background of flowers, stars or hearts is attractive and may express a softer side of you personality.

Celtic Aries Tattoo Designs

The image of the ram's head or body or horns is hidden in the intricate design of Celtic knotwork. This is a traditional Celtic design - incorporating the head or other parts of an animal into the design. It can even include the image of other creatures along with the ram. These designs go back a long way, which means they have been developed and embellished over many years. Modern tattoo artists have expanded the designs even further, giving you many choices.

This would make your Zodiac tattoo design one of artistry and mystery, as people will have to look closely to discern the Aries symbol. This may well suit your personality, as you will not be following the herd. You will be doing something different.

Tribal Aries Tattoo Designs


As in the Celtic design, the Tribal Aries symbol can be hidden subtly in a complicated design where the symbol is the theme or the main motif and the rest of the design is built on that. This can result in a strong artistic image. On the other hand it can be a simple, strong image of a ram's head or body. Whatever Tribal design you choose you will be making a bold statement, as this is the nature of the Tribal tattoo style. This could also suit your forthright nature - a bold, upfront, in-your-face statement. After all you were born under the first sign of the Zodiac - you lead the way.

Given the great variety available you should be able to find that special Zodiac tattoo design that allows you to express your personality.
