11 Aries Tattoos That'll Show Off Your Personality
In recent years, astrology tattoos have grown in popularity, with many celebrities like Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, and Rita Ora giving the trend a stamp of approval. Each month, corresponding to a zodiac sign and constellation, brings with it a unique set of characteristics and personality traits. Though you may be of the impression that a zodiac sign only permits a few inking options, you would be pleasantly surprised to learn that there are endless ways to interpret your astrology sign into a tattoo that caters perfectly to your personal taste.
If you're born between March 21 and April 19 and on the hunt for some inspiration for Aries tattoos, you're in luck. We've got a handful of designs that'll help get the creative juices flowing, like Aries constellation tattoos and Aries ram tattoos. Aries is known as the first fire sign in the zodiac, and people belonging to this sign are often recognized for their confidence, passion, leadership, and competitive dispositions. They are also represented by the ram, which is the perfect personification of all of their best traits.
"The ram [is] the fast, horned male sheep that's not afraid to go head to head with an opponent," professional astrologer Tamerri Ater-Ntonni previously told PS. "With stellar balance and hooves made for rough mountain terrain, they're not afraid to do what it takes to get to the top."
Ahead, we've rounded up the best Aries tattoo ideas to spark inspiration for your next ink. From bold pieces inspired by the sign's animal to subtle designs that look like a work of art, we've covered the varying interests of every tattoo lover, meaning we promise you'll find one Aries sign tattoo that aligns with your tastes and artistic vision.
Roman Numeral Aries Tattoo
This Aries constellation tattoo features Roman numerals, which makes the design even more special. We love how the two images are blended together on the inside of the arm.
Floral Aries Symbol Tattoo
If you want to add a little something extra to your Aries symbol tattoo, we love the idea of tacking on a floral image, especially if the flower has a special meaning. This design was done with a single needle and looks stunning on the back of the arm.
Detailed Aries Ram Tattoo
If subtle isn't your style, this intricate black-and-grey-ink ram sketch, complete with tiny flowers and fine-line geometric designs surrounding it, may be more up your alley. This piece would go beautifully on your arm, leg, or back if you prefer a discreet placement location.
Tiny Aries Tattoo
Tiny tattoos will always be chic and trendy. For a discreet design, try getting a small Aries symbol tattooed in a hard-to-see area like your neck, behind your ear, or your foot.
Aries Constellation Tattoo
Another cool take on zodiac tattoos is constellation designs, which include the star groups that appear within a specific area of the sky ruled by your zodiac. Commemorate your Aries constellation with a dainty star design alongside the ram horn silhouette, as seen here.
Aries Sign Tattoo
You can combine half a ram sketch with similarly-sized solid horns for an eye-catching Aries piece. The unique combination brings a delightful symmetry to the piece.
Geometric Aries Ram Tattoo
If you're a fan of detailed line work, try incorporating geometric shapes into your tattoo. In this design, the Aries ram balances the overall piece, playing with shapes and scale.
Fire Aries Tattoo
Aries are passionate people, so if you resonate with that side of you, channel some of that fieriness through your ink. The red-ink blaze creates a contrast against the black Aries symbol, making this piece stand out.
Traditional Aries Ram Tattoo
This Aries ram tattoo uses the traditional ink style to create a bold and unique design. The addition of the animal's tongue sticking out adds some extra personality to the piece.
Colorful Abstract Aries Tattoo
This design spotlights the silhouette of the ram's horns but introduces abstract shapes and colors for a fun, vibrant flair.
Floral Aries Tattoo
This chic floral tattoo combines astrology with a string of fine-line blooming flowers, adding a touch of delicacy and whimsy to the overall ink.
