Because the maiden is associated with Mary the Mother of God, the symbol of Virgo can be transformed into a more Christian symbol in this way. If you do plan on getting this type of design, you have plenty of options. You can make the maiden less prominent by making the same size as other Christian symbols in the design, or you can make it the centerpiece, which is something you’ll want to do if the tattoo is meant to define who you are rather than Christianity.

The Virgo sign is generally used by men and women because of the various ways that the design can be manipulated. The line work of the symbol can be emphasized with calligraphy-like waves and curls, adding a more feminine element to the image. Contrarily, harder lines can be used, creating the idea of spikes or thorns, making it a more masculine symbol. A newer design that many women choose to get is the Virgo sign connected to a breast cancer awareness ribbon.

The Virgo sign is often used as a representation of innocence. This does not mean that the people who use this meaning are full of innocence, but instead that they have been able to hold on to some of the innocence they had during their childhoods. This is a quality that many Virgos take pride in because it gives them a better perspective.

Virgos are also known for their thoughtfulness, which is another popular meaning attached to these tattoos. If one of your favorite traits is putting others before yourself, then this might be a great meaning for you to use. Of course, you can also use it if you want to be less selfish and want to put more smiles on other’s faces as a result of your thoughtfulness.

Another endearing quality of Virgos is their shyness. Sure, you could look at this as a negative trait, but those who use this meaning with their Virgo tattoos simply recognize that it’s something that they are. It also can work in your favor since you can explain this meaning to people who ask you about it, possibly helping you to be more outgoing.
