Peculiarities
Graceful or brutal, laconic or colorful - a tattoo in the form of the zodiac sign Pisces is one of the most popular options for drawings on the body... This constellation closes the circle of 12 symbols, and its glyph is a bit like the letter H. And also the sign is usually associated with Neptune, the patron saint of the seas, and its trident. The flower corresponding to the constellation is a water lily. These elements often complement the image of fish in a tattoo sketch.
Representatives of this sign are distinguished by their calm nature. They love comfort, are sensitive, romantic, prefer to "go with the flow" rather than move against it. The history of the appearance of this zodiacal constellation is closely related to the myth of Adonis and Aphrodite. The goddess of beauty, who missed the sea element, walking along the shore, met a mortal youth, fell in love with him. Fleeing from the monster, the couple threw themselves into the waves, and Poseidon turned them into fish.
However, the love story, like many ancient Greek myths, ended tragically. The young man was torn to pieces by a boar, unable to break the prohibition of Artemis. Aphrodite was left alone to shed tears for her lost happiness. Only once a year Hades agreed to release his eternal captive to her on a date. And in heaven, according to legend, a constellation arose in the form of fish following one after another.
Types and sketches of tattoos
Pisces tattoos are not very diverse. All of them are conventionally divided into 3 groups:
- with the image of a glyph - the astrological symbol of Pisces;
- in the form of a constellation, in accordance with its location on the sky map;
- in a version with a realistic display of a pair of marine life.
Despite the fact that the zodiacal role of the symbol looks quite definite, its interpretation is varied. For those who were born under the sign of Pisces, even small tattoos with this astrological symbol are a powerful talisman. The main meaning in this case is shifted to the protection of the elements. It is believed that with this symbol on the body, people are not afraid of the water element.
For young women, Pisces can also become a sign of their natural origin. For girls, the image of a pair of inhabitants of the deep sea promises happy changes in their personal life, and for a married woman it can become a harbinger of happy motherhood. For men, such a tattoo most often means loyalty and love, harmony in marriage.
The importance is attached to the color of fish scales. Silver and gold promises wealth, material well-being. Red symbolizes strength, passion. Blue and black denote masculinity. Often, images of fish are combined with the traditional symbol of harmony - Yin-Yang.
Depending on the idea chosen, the sketch may include additional symbols that expand the meaning of the tattoo.
- Water lily. This beautiful flower with pink petals and a yellow center symbolizes harmony, purity and beauty.
- Trident of Poseidon or Neptune... This sign testifies to the high ambitions of a person. Most often it is chosen by men.
- Cosmic expanses... The stars and planets surrounding the sign of Pisces betray in a person an incorrigible dreamer, a romantic, dreaming of distant worlds.
- Water... Ponds, waves, rivers and seas are natural elements for fish. Needless to say, it is she who most often surrounds the image of these representatives of the animal world.
- Month or moon. Against the background of these symbols, the constellation is depicted in those contours that are characteristic of it in the starry sky.
The choice of a sketch for a tattoo has a noticeable impact on its perception. In most cases, representatives of the Pisces sign prefer not to flaunt the drawings on the body. For them, these images are a personal, intimate, and sometimes mystical symbol, a talisman that brings good luck.

Places of application
When choosing areas of the body for tattooing in the form of a constellation or zodiac sign Pisces, men and women prefer different options. Among the most popular areas for women are the neck, ankle, and wrist. Here, miniature tattoos can be easily hidden under clothing or jewelry. An astrological sign is most often displayed on the wrist, it also looks good on the leg or on the arm above, on the shoulder or forearm.
Men prefer larger tattoos, covering the surface of the chest, back, and abdomen. If a hand is selected for application, then the image fills its surface in the manner of a sleeve. Men's tattoos are always more brutal - instead of peaceful carps, menacing sharks, thirsty for blood, may be present here. On the feet, the images are always more laconic, performed in a minimalist style or blackwork technique.
In miniature, in the form of an astrological symbol, men sometimes put the sign of Pisces on the area behind the ear, on the surface of the feet, heels, and toes. No less often, the sign appears on the surface of the hand. A constellation with elements of space, planets, comets can most often be seen on the chest, with or without a transition to the shoulder.
Interestingly, astrologers advise to apply tattoos with such a symbol on the leg area. The happiest places are the heel, ankle, and the Achilles tendon. But here the tattooing process will be quite painful. A tattoo on the lower leg, according to astrologers, can enhance the emotional state of its owner. This area should not be chosen if the person is prone to melancholy or suffers from mood swings.
