Sagittarius tattoos are an excellent way for people born under the sign to show their pride in the personality traits that they have. There are quite a few great Sagittarius designs to choose from for tattoos, and just as many meanings that you can attach to them. Below you will find out all about the Sagittarius sign itself and why one of the many Sagittarius tattoos could be a great fit for you.

Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the Western Zodiac, describes those born between November 21st and December 20th. Now, anyone can get a Sagittarius tattoo regardless of when they were born, but it’s generally best for people who actually are Sagittarii to get these tats. That being said, if one of the designs and/or meanings make perfect sense for you, by all means get one!

The inquisitive thinker, the Sagittarius is symbolized by the archer, most often a centaur like the constellation depicts. It doesn’t even matter if you do think of yourself as a “hunter” or not since the archer represents the Sagittarius as a whole. However, if you do think of yourself as the hunter and gatherer and take pride in those traits, then you are definitely a great candidate for a Sagittarius tattoo.

The bow and arrow is a common, simpler representation of Sagittarius and can be rendered in a variety of ways. The bow and arrow represents both strength and the ability to transition in your life. You can get this type of Sagittarius tattoo as simple symbols that you can place on your wrist or forearm, or you can blow them up or combine them with other designs into a much larger piece. Obviously the bow and arrow can easily be combined with the centaur by simply putting them in his hands.

The Sagittarius constellation makes an attractive image that represents the bow-wielding centaur, ready to send his, or her, arrow striking through its target. This is a very striking image when done correctly and it shows that the owner is someone who will “fight to the death” for what he or she believes in. As with other zodiac sign tattoos, you can get the constellation by itself or combine it with other Sagittarius designs. You also have the option to get a very minimalistic tattoo with the constellation by simply putting the stars somewhere on your skin.
