Libras are often very proud people and work hard to make sure there’s justice in the world, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are plenty of folks out there who want to show off their pride on that attribute (and many more) with Libra tattoos. There are many symbols that you can choose from and plenty of great meanings to choose from, so keep reading to find out all about Libra tattoos.

The seventh sign of the Western zodiac, Libra is the sign of the Scales of Justice. It is symbolized by the image of the scales, weighing two objects, individuals, or concepts for judgement. The scales are easily the most popular Libra tattoos around, but there are numerous design options that people can choose from. The primary meanings still stick no matter what type of design you choose to get, but you can add in other meanings simply by adding to the scales a bit.

Those who enter the world between September 22nd and October 23rd are born into the sign of Libra, and are considered to be fair, balanced, and harmonious individuals, among other things. Ideally, those who want to get Libra tattoos are people who take pride in these traits since anyone who knows about zodiac signs will assume these things about them. You are also a prime candidate for a Libra tat if you strive to live up to what Libras are expected to be.

The Libra sign is also symbolized by the mythological creature the Griffin (gryphon), a hybrid eagle-lion, a signifier of divinity. The gryphon is great for anyone who wants to get a larger Libra tattoo since you usually want to get this creature in as much detail as possible. However, if you want to include a gryphon in a smaller tattoo, that can be done by simply getting the outline of a gryphon included in your design.

The constellation of Libra is a popular image that signifies identification with the sign, although it’s resemblance to the scales is hard to envision. What’s interesting about this Libra tattoo design is that it brings with it an air of mystery, which might be what you want. These can make excellent wrist or forearm tattoos if you only include the stars, or they can even be larger back tattoos if you want the entire night’s sky in the design.
