The popularity of zodiac style body art continues to grow and shows no sign of stopping so if you want a tattoo design that looks cool and is of personal significance to you then this could be the one for you. Lets us take a look at some ideas for Leo tattoos, the most dominant and extroverted of all the zodiac signs. As the fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo is represented by the mighty lion and anyone born July 23rd through to August 22nd is sure to be a natural born leader. Not only that but they will be party-loving extroverts who are fun, generous, warm hearted and enthusiastic so this anyone born under this specific sign is usually quite hard to miss. Leos love being the centre of attraction and their dynamic personalities ensure they stay in the limelight however on the downside; they can also be dominant and intolerant, patronizing and bossy, interfering and inflexible.
This particular sign is ruled by the sun and this celestial body is often used in conjunction with other related Leo images such as the lion and the glyph. Leo’s glyph is one of the most difficult to describe however as Leo rules the heart it is deemed to represent the two valves of the heart although others see it as resembling a lion’s mane or even its tail! The glyph is also linked to the heat and energy of the sun, hence why the sun’s image is often used in Leo tattoos accompanying the glyph rather than a lion’s image. This is a popular body art design with women as it combines two different images to make one meaning of great personal significance to the individual. The sun is believed to epitomize cosmic splendor and also reflects the abundant generosity of life often associated with Leos.
As well as the traditional lion or glyph images, there are other images of a related theme that work well with one or the other, even both, to form part of a larger body art design. Apart from the sun, marigolds and sunflowers are often used for Leo tattoos as these are the flowers associated with this sign of the zodiac and these combine two popular trends in one – floral and zodiac designs – but with a distinctly personal touch. Colors associated with this sign include red and gold, so tattoos of this nature are often predominantly created with these shades with the glyph depicted in darker ink. This type of tattoo is very versatile as it is suitable for most body parts in small, medium and large designs in a multitude of differing styles, shapes and colors.
