There is still a phenomenal demand for Zodiac tattoo designs that shows no sign of ceasing which is hardly surprising as these not only look cooler but they are highly personal too. Each of the twelve zodiac signs offers plenty of scope for body art however many of the images that represent these individual signs are predominantly masculine in nature with the exception of Virgo tattoos. This sixth sign of the zodiac is the only one that is represented by a woman, and a virgin maiden at that. Virgo’s symbol is often depicted as a woman carrying a sheaf of wisdom, representing the harvesting of wheat at this time of year, late summer or early autumn around harvest time. If you were born sometime between the 23rd August and the 23rd September then you will no doubt share many of the classic Virgo characteristics. This comes under the element of earth and is ruled by the influence of the planet Mercury.
Let us examine the character traits of this particular zodiac sign as individuals born under Virgo tend to be very pragmatic and down to earth. Like the virgin maiden herself, many Virgos are very modest and can be incessantly shy however they are also very practical, reliable and diligent, possessing very analytical mental powers. While both sexes can come across very charming and likeable, on the downside they are overly conservative perfectionists who can come across harsh and overcritical as well as being great worriers. Body art designs of this nature often feature virginal maidens surrounded by sheaves of wheat and other images symbolizing harvest and abundance however some Virgo tattoos even feature the most famous virgin of all, the Virgin Mary. This particular image is often accompanied by the Virgo glyph in dark brown or green ink, the traditional colors of this sign.
The glyph for Virgo is depicted as an M with an extra segment in the shape of an upside down loop around the bottom right hand side. This symbol is similar to that of Scorpio, except instead of the tail pointing outward; it curls up into itself so this is best used in Virgo tattoos when accompanied by a related image so it is clear which sign it relates to. If you want to take a slightly different take on this then why not look at some floral designs to use with the glyph in place of the traditional maiden? Flowers and plants associated with Virgo include the aster, chrysanthemum, ivy, and fern all of which could be used together to make a very beautiful and distinctive tattoo design. Not only will this look visually stunning but it will also be entirely unique to you personally.
