Scorpio is associated with the astrological eight house, which represents Scorpios foundation in matters of birth, death and transformation.  Scorpio is also concerned with the occult and other supernatural issues.

Scorpio is most often animal representation is unsurprisingly the scorpion.  This deadly venomous arthropod makes for a strikingly fierce tattoo design.  Talented tattoo artists have long captured the intimidating image of the scorpion with its curled stinger tail in a number of creative and breathtaking displays.  The best examples of these are found in various online tattoo galleries and member forums.  The segmented scorpion with its pointy tail and claws fits in exceptionally well as part of an overall tribal tattoo design as well as Goth and Celtic motifs.

Not to be overlooked is the Scorpio glyph tattoo design.  It appears as a letter M with a curled pointy tail.  It is perfect if you are into images based on symbolism and primal design, but it this case I think that the Scorpion print itself is a better choice.
