There has always been a popular demand for zodiac themed body art, however as tattooing trends come and go, this design is one that definitely has longevity and looks really cool too. If you are looking at ideas and inspiration for Taurus tattoos, then you need to know all about the characteristics of the second of the twelve zodiac signs to ensure you choose an image that sums you up personally. This is an earth sign that is symbolized by the bull and ruled by Venus, the planet off love. Taurean traits are actually quite similar to those of the bull itself as they can be very headstrong and are renowned for their unmovable stubbornness. They can also be rather rebellious but on the positive side they are very calm, level-headed individuals who are very down to earth and objective, particularly when it comes to problem solving. Taureans are also known for their creativity but above all they are very honest and reliable individuals with a strong sense of family and high moral values. However, they are very in tune with their emotions and often come across as shy and reserved, even introverted at times.
As body art, the bull on its own can often appear rather masculine so many female tattoo enthusiasts seeking Taurus tattoos opt to use the glyph symbol accompanied by a more feminine image instead. The glyph is the symbol that represents Taurus and this is a circle with a squiggly U-shaped on top to resemble the head and horns of the bull. Despite the masculine connotations associated with this image, the traditional color of the Taurus zodiac sign is actually pale pink so the glyph could be inked in this color rather than traditional dark or black ink to make it more feminine in appearance. Alternatively, why not opt for the birth flower related to this sign which is either lily of the valley or the sweet pea, the latter naturally comes in a shade of pale pink, and use that in conjunction with the glyph.
For a more masculine design then why not take a look at Taurus tattoos done in the style of tribal artwork. There is something very macho about the bull’s image inked in a solid dark design but in the style of Celtic or any other ancient tribal art and this also adds a more unique touch to a more traditional design. At the end of the day, like any other body art design, zodiac themed tattoos are a very personal decision. These are extremely versatile designs that can be easily customized to suit both men and women but can also be tweaked to make them more unique and personal for the individual.
