Pisces tattoo Designs

Pisces tattoos are representative of those people born between February 20th and March 20th. The Pisces zodiac is a water sign that reveals a dreamy, gentle, affectionate, compassionate and deep nature. However, Pisceans are noted as having dual, or split, personalities: silent then highly talkative, happy then very unhappy, lazy then highly motivated. Numerous tattoo designs demonstrating this dual nature can be found in a variety of sizes that are appropriate for both men and women.

Symbolic Pisces Tattoos
Pisces tattoo designs are quite flexible in that the universal symbol of this sun sign is two fish. These fish, called Ichtyes by the Greeks, are commonly represented in a yin yang style – each fish head followed by the other’s tail forming a circular shape. The Chinese symbol of yin yang is highly recognizable and represents the duality of all things, making it an appropriate symbol to demonstrate Pisces and its split personality. Besides fish, there are numerous other sea creatures that can be incorporated into Pisces tattoos to create a more personalized design: twin dolphins, whales, sharks, sea horses or mermaids for example.

The Glyph in Pisces Tattoos
Pisces tattoos commonly include this zodiac’s glyph symbol. Mirroring the double fish pattern, the Pisces glyph has an “H” shape in which the two vertical lines bend toward each other in the middle while bowing out at the tops and bottoms. The simplicity of this symbol lends itself to limitless design possibilities. For example, women seeking more feminine Pisces tattoos may choose designs featuring roses intertwined with the glyph while men may prefer snakes slithering up the glyph.

Famous Pisceans
Many of today’s hottest actresses, models and musicians have taken the plunge and adorned themselves with permanent body art – many of which are zodiac tattoos. One of the most notable members of this elite group is singer Rihanna. A veteran in tattoo studios, Rihanna has multiple tattoos including stars, Arabic writing and a Pisces tattoo behind her right ear. As a stylized black glyph that is relatively small in size, Rihanna’s design choice is certain to give Pisces tattoos a boost in popularity. Other famous Pisceans include actors Drew Barrymore, Elizabeth Taylor and Sidney Poitier.
