Since ancient times, people believed in the protective functions of various patterns applied to the body. Tattoos are a modern manifestation of this superstition. The signs of the zodiac are pierced as a talisman by those who believe in the power of astrology. From birth, a person is patronized by some kind of constellation. It affects the character, abilities and fate in general. Maybe that's why they get so much attention.
For several thousand years, humanity has been making tattoos. The signs of the zodiac are endowed with magical properties, magnetism and real romance. Not surprisingly, sketches of such drawings are very common. Almost every culture has its own version of the horoscope and images of its representatives.
So, for example, in ancient Egypt, the patrons of people were the gods: Hapi, Nut, Geb, Amon-Ra, Isis, Thoth, Osiris, Horus, Set, Anubis, Sekhmet and Bastet. Within one year they replaced each other several times. The Egyptians believed that each of them endows a person with the traits of his character and reveals the secrets of controlling the processes of the Universe. If you like the culture of this country, you can fill your body with the image of one of the supreme deities who patronized your birth period.
Gallic or Celtic horoscope is based on the belief that people were created from trees. Therefore, they were considered the patron spirits. The Druids identified 22 signs: linden, hazel, mountain ash, fig, willow, pine, apple, walnut, cypress, fir, maple, oak, chestnut, elm, birch and others. The period of influence of each of them is determined by the peak of plant activity - flowering and fruiting - and the time of winter sleep. If you were born in early May or November, then you can decorate your body with jasmine. And the olives that were born on September 23 are a sprig of olives.
Tattoo images (zodiac signs in particular) can be supplemented with a flower or animal corresponding to your constellation. Or include in the sketch an element of the element that patronizes you. Ask to make the Lion's mane in the form of a flame, as this is a fire sign. Fish can, for example, be placed in an aquarium, because they belong to the water element.
To add symbolism will help the appropriate color of the future tattoo. The zodiac signs Gemini and Aries, for example, are associated with the colors orange and blue. And Libra - with blue, green, purple tones. Choose the shade you like and make it dominant in the image.
Where the tattoo will be placed matters a lot. Zodiac signs are often pinned on the shoulder blade, shoulder or neck. Come to the choice of placeapplication very seriously. It is worth noting that in some parts of the body the skin is more prone to age-related changes. Therefore, the pattern may deform over time. Please consult with a craftsman before stuffing anything.
If you don't want a banal tattoo, you can replace the signs of the zodiac with an inscription. And to make its meaning clear only to you, choose some exotic or ancient language: Latin, Tibetan, Sanskrit. The use of a beautiful font will help to achieve a greater effect. In general, approach the choice of a picture consciously so that it will please you throughout your life.
