Many people identify with their astrological signs. Some even identify with it to the extent that they want to get something in its likeness tattooed on their body. In this case, we are looking at pieces that represent the astrological sign of the Taurus—more often known as the bull of the zodiac.  

Tauruses are born between April 21 and May 21 and are known for their ambition, practicality, artistry, ability to analyze their mental and physical strength, their patience, and of course, their stubbornness.

The following pieces show off how each Taurus flaunts their preferred characteristics through the varying mediums of tattoo styles.  

1. Simple Taurus Tattoos 

Simplicity is the name of the game for a few of these individuals who presumably identify with the Taurus astrological sign. It is possible that these people enjoy the image of the bull or the characteristics of the bull sign in itself—it is difficult to say.

What we do know though, is that the glyph, which is the physical symbol for the sign, is sufficient enough to get the point across in some of these pieces. Some rely on the deep shading of the gothic style on blank skin, where others add sprinkles of colours. Simplicity does not always imply small in size, but rather the complexity of the image. A large glyph with heavy shading sits in simplicity on a man’s back—bold and undoubtedly a painful sit. 

There are many simple and minimalist pieces that fall under the category of geometric, Gothic, and even straight line work. There is even a piece that follows the lines of the stars that signify the sign of the Taurus in the sky; though not immediately identifiable, it is nevertheless meaningful for the individual sporting it.
