Going back to childhood, the universe and planets were always a topic of discussion. Many kids wanted to be astronauts when they grew up, so they could visit all the planets we read about in the books. We wanted to go to the moon to see if it was made of cheese. We wanted to go to Mars to see if there were any aliens living there. We also wanted to go to Saturn to check out those rings up close. No matter your favorite planet, space has always been a topic of interest for most kids and for many of us, the interest followed us into adulthood.

In this post we will talk about the different variations of the planets tattoo and talk about the symbolism behind each of the examples. By the end of the post, we hope you have a better idea of what each planet represents and how one might be more fitting for your personality than another.

Planets Tattoo Variations

The planets can be tattooed in a plethora of ways and styles. You might find individual planet tattoos, or you might see a solar system tattoo. Like our universe, the options seem unlimited. Below we will discuss some of the variations of planet tattoos and what they symbolize. In most cases, it’s best to talk to the person with the tattoo to decipher its meaning but here we can talk about the symbolism we have learned about when it comes to these planets tattoos.

The solar system has been a main focal point since the beginning of time. Initially an incredible discovery, the planets have come to symbolize so much to many. Particularly through horoscopes, the planets have become a commonplace symbol. Though the solar system in its entirety holds significant meaning, specific planets and their meanings have significant meaning to those who’ve had it tattooed.

Earth’s Moon Tattoo

Closest to Earth of all listed, our moon tends to have a hold over emotional needs, feelings, and wants. Intuition, instincts, and consciousness play a large role in what the moon tends to oversee. Emotions, and how you share with others, holds a significance that other planets don’t acknowledge. The moon is particularly associated with family, which plays a large part in everyone’s life, though holds such a significance in more apparent emotions such as anger, fear, pleasure, joy and confidence. The Moon is known to expose emotions that have been kept hidden, most likely controversial or confrontational, though can also expose such insecurities to those close to you who may have no knowledge.
