Libra Tattoo Designs
The planet Venus rules Libra, which means the soft feminine side is dominant. The Zodiac sign is a set of scales, representing your evenhanded temperament. Libra tattoos can be colourful and decorative, depicting your soft sensitive side. The image of the scales can be drawn with colourful backgrounds or with objects worked with them. Sometimes the scales are depicted being held by a figure, as in the Justice figure, and the figure itself can be an expression of your personality. The Libra symbol is the setting sun, which is also an equals sign. This lends itself to forming part of an image that includes the sun or the sun's rays. As Venus is the planet of love, hearts are often drawn as part of the design. Some tattoos include all three - the heart, the scales and the setting sun. As you can see there are a number of Libra tattoo ideas you can use for your design.
Libra Celtic Tattoo Ideas
Libra is the only inanimate sign in the Zodiac. While Celtic designs often include the image of animals interwoven in the knotwork, the heart and setting sun work very well. These designs have a spiritual link to the Celtic people as they worshipped the sun, the moon and the stars. All things in nature and the universe were sacred to them. They expressed their connection to the universe, eternity and the life/death cycle by the never-ending knotwork in their artwork.
Libra Tribal Tattoo Ideas
A set of scales drawn boldly in the tribal style could represent your strong sense of justice - part of a Libran's character trait. As a Libran, you hate injustice and you do not think violence is a way of solving issues. There are many tribal Libra tattoo designs, from a simple drawing of the scales to an elaborate stylised drawing. Other designs include the strong lines of tribal drawings with the softer feminine side of those ruled by Venus.
There are many varied Libra tattoo ideas to choose from. As a Libran, you will be able to stand back and evaluate the one that best expresses your uniqueness.
