Zodiac Tattoo Designs - Leo Tattoo Ideas

As a Leo, you bring qualities of leadership: a willingness to lead from the front; a generosity of spirit, which impels you to want to help others develop. You delight in seeing others grow under your influence. Because you do not know how to hold back, you want to bring others out of their shells or to help them overcome the fears of pushing themselves forward. But your warm-hearted and caring nature stops you from doing this in a mean-spirited way. Your enthusiasm carries others along with it, which helps to give them more boldness than they would normally display. They recognize this strength in you and look to you to bolster them.

Leo Tattoo Designs

The symbol for Leo in the Zodiac is the Lion and is ruled by the Sun. Like the Sun, you are full of life and energy. This is often depicted in tattoos by including a sun with a lion's head or with the Zodiac sign itself. Almost anything goes with Leo tattoos because of the range of characteristics associated with this sign. Whilst the Lions head is popular, as is the full body on larger areas, hearts and flowers can be included because of the big-hearted and loving nature of Leos. They are strong and energetic but they do have a soft side. They are extremely loyal, supportive friends.

Leo Celtic Tattoo Ideas

There are distinctive designs using the Celtic knotwork. Animal images have long been a part of this artwork but the tattoos do not have to have the animal itself but can incorporate the Zodiac sign. The interesting part about these designs is the image is not always apparent. Sometimes people have to look closely to make out what they are. This creates an air of mystery and provides a good talking point. Your Leo Celtic tattoo can be artistic and interesting.

Leo Tribal Ideas

Leo is the most dominant and extroverted of the zodiac signs. This strength and boldness can be brought out very well with Tribal designs. If Leos have a weakness it is the tendency to be over-bearing and pushy. Sometimes their enthusiasm is a little too much for others. A minimalist tribal tattoo could play this down without losing any of its strength. On the other hand, because of your outgoing and expansive nature, you can get away with a bold statement. Leo Tribal back tattoos do this very well.

A Leo has so many sides that a great variety of tattoo ideas have been developed to depict them. This means there is plenty of opportunity for you to find the design that expresses the side you want to highlight. This could be your strong, dominant side; your expansive, broad-minded side or your warm-hearted, loving side.

William Burnell has a longstanding interest in the art, designs and history of tattoos. He enjoys sharing this interest with others and in helping them in their quest for their unique symbol of self-expression.

Word Tattoo Lettering Ideas

Getting words inked on is a GREAT idea for ink. They can be straight forward and to the point, or they can be mysterious and symbolic. Here are 3 common word tattoos to consider getting inked:

1. NAMES.

This word tattoo refers to someone who you want to represent by name. It could be a loved one, someone whom you admire or are a fan of; a pet, girlfriend, husband or wife and much more. It could be more general as well such as the common "mother" tattoo.

Examples of name tattoos: "mother", "ozzy", "jesus", "Frank", "Marge".

2. SAYINGS.

This word tattoo is very popular. It involves taking a saying of some sort (an inspirational quote, a humorous line, or just a one or two words representing something) and getting it inked on as a tattoo. These tattoo sayings can be very powerful as they convey a direct message.

Examples of tattoo sayings: "born to lose", "strength", "live free or die", "believe in yourself".

3. LETTERING.

These tattoos focus on lettering and usually are large with just one or two letters which represent something, like a place or someone's initials, or the initials representing something. Though they can be longer as well. Lettering ink focuses on a rather elaborate type of font. Each letter stands alone as a solid work of tattoo art. Whereas some of the other tattoos mentioned will often be accompanied by separate designs, lettering ink can hold it's own without any other design needed.

Flower Tattoo Ideas

Flowers are perhaps the among the strongest object used to symbolized women and tattoos are not any different. For centuries, women have been coming up with more creative and illustrious flower tattoo ideas to add to those that are already in existence. One of the main reasons for this is flower tats will never be out of style in any day and age. What this means is, these tattoos and ideas will be around and tattooed by women all over the globe in years to come yet.

Flower Tattoo Ideas

When it comes to flowers, there are really no limitations as to what can be tattooed. No matter what, flower tats will almost always look great on a woman especially when tattooed by an experienced tattoo artist/tattoo parlor using quality tattooing techniques. What this means is there are really no right or wrong when it comes to flower tat ideas. It is more a question of whether these designs suit the woman in question. We do have some flower tattoo ideas to help out women out there wanting to get one (or even in multiples).

Flower Tattoo Ideas

First of all, the most obvious would be to choose between a black inked flower tat or a colored flower tat. While flower tats can still look good in black, flowers do bring out the life in these flowers especially when the flower tattoo ideas and designs are in 3D.

Next, flower tattoo ideas can also revolve around the type of flower itself. Although the most common and popular flower used in tattoos are roses, there are also many other flowers that have been tattooed and actually with great results to boot. They can include (but not limited) to orchids, sunflowers, morning glories, lilies and sunflowers.

Flower Tattoo Ideas

Flower tattoo ideas can also come in the form of the number of flowers used in the design. For instance, a single rose may look good but when coupled with another bud, it can have adverse effects. On the same note, bouquets or bunches of flowers can also have positive effects. These flower tat ideas may also include other objects or even an image of a person on it. Guns, skulls, sun, women or body part can go well with these flower tats.

Flower Tattoo Ideas

Among the most overlooked of flower tat ideas lies in the form of the placement of the tattoos in itself. Having the flower tattooed on the appropriate part of the body can accentuate that body part in question. It really comes down to the issue of how revealing the tattoo is intended to be and for whom the tattoo is targeted at (private or public).

Cute and Small Feminine Tattoo Ideas

Getting a tattoo for the first time can be tough for anyone so most people like to go for small and cute ones. These small feminine tattoos can be simple yet intricate and can be well put on body part such as ankle, foot or wrist. Some people say small tattoos are boring but I have to disagree, if you get the right tattoo it can be very colorful and unique. My first tattoo was a small star on the side of my belly when I was 17, then I added more designs and stars later on.

Tattoos have become very popular these days, like a beautiful art work on your body. However, I have to say, picking the right tattoo for your body is a very crucial step because who would want to spend thousands of dollars for tattoo removal process anyway? Make sure that the tattoo you're choosing is the one you're not going to regret 2 months later so getting a small tattoo first can help out alot.
