Like most zodiac tattoos, Pisces tattoos come with some amazing meanings and could be the perfect design choices for people who happened to be born under that sign. There are a lot of images and meanings to choose from, though, so it’s a good idea to get to know some of your options before you commit to anything. On this page we will look at what the Pisces is, some great Pisces tattoos, and some meanings you can attach to those tattoos.

The sign of the Pisces is a symbol of duality and the fish, a representation of the legendary sea creature Ichthyocentaur. The Ichthyocentaur is a centaur that features the tail of an enormous fish. They rule the tides in Ancient Greece and the two most prominent are involved in the myth of Aphrodite’s birth. Two ichthyocentaurs lift the shell that holds newly born Aphrodite above the water. This is a very striking image that can look amazing in tattoo form, but anyone interested in it should plan to get it on an area of their bodies that can fit a larger tattoo design. You can also opt to get a silhouette of the creature if you want to save money and/or get a smaller tattoo.

In another legend, Aphrodite and her son Eros are forced to flee from peril into the sea, transforming into two fish in order to escape the clutches of a monster. They tie themselves together so that neither of them become lost. This can make for yet another outstanding Pisces tattoo image, but again, it is best as a larger piece for the back, chest, or stomach.

Both myths lend a duality to the sign of Pisces that explains that structure of the sign. The two curves, representing the fish, are inseparably tied, creating the perfect symbol of Pisces. What’s kind of great about both of those Pisces tattoos is that you can have a cool, large piece, but most people won’t recognize what it represents; that gives an added air of mystery to these tattoos.
