Zodiac Symbol Tattoos

Those born between November 22 and December 23 bear the Zodiac sign of Sagittarius.  Originating from the constellation of Sagittarius, and ruled by the planet Jupiter, it is the ninth astrological sign.

Sagittarius is represented by a Satyr or Centaur, a half man half horse creature.  The artwork depicts the centaur as an archer with a bow and arrow.  Consequently Sagittarius often carries the sub-heading "the Archer".

When a zodiac sign’s graphical illustration is of an imaginary being, it opens the doors for some truly creative and unique tattoo design.  Anything goes as you are even less bound by preconceived perceptions and conventions.  The best online tattoo galleries are filled with members and artists who have take this license to the extreme.  You will find plenty of examples of extraordinarily imaginative work.

The glyph for Sagittarius unsurprisingly resembles an arrow intersected with a line at its end (the bow?).  The sharp edges of the glyph are well suited to be interwoven into a broader tribal tattoo design.  In fact the glyph can be adorned with all varieties of additional art, be it a floral vine or a Celtic knot.

The personality traits of Sagittarius are those of fairness and peace.  They are deep thinkers who love to travel.  They are quick to embrace others, but have a tendency to be naive, given they tend to assume others always behave with the same honorable intentions that they do.

Selecting a Sagittarius tattoo design will let others know that you are loyal, open and honest.  Certainly character traits for which you deserve to be proud.
