Capricorn tattoo ideas

What about tattoos Capricorns prefer?

Due to the influence of the Earth element such people are usually prudent and have a reserved nature. For that reason, they often choose small and minimalistic tattoos that are not seen with the naked eye. However, each rule has exceptions, so the choice of a sketch depends on numerous factors.

People born between December 23 and January 20 belong to the Capricorn zodiac sign.

Powered by the Earth element and ruled by Saturn, the representatives of this sign are realistic, hardworking, and self-disciplined.

Capricorns can be very self-critical: they are very demanding of themselves when things don't go according to plan and always try to learn from their mistakes so they don't happen again. Such people are usually not afraid to bear responsibility and are ready to lead other people. At the same time, the representatives of this zodiac sign won’t go over the heads to achieve their goals.

This zodiac sign is associated with the goat with a fishtail.

According to ancient Greek mythology, the goat Amalthea nursed the baby Zeus on the island of Crete with milk. In gratitude, Zeus turned the nurse into a constellation now known as a Capricorn.

For that reason, this creature is used by Capricorns for making zodiac tattoos. The meaning of such a tattoo depends on various aspects and differs from one sketch to another. Capricorn tattoo may show:

• The belonging to a particular zodiac sign;
• The faith in astrology a person has;
• The harmony between the inner and outer world;
• Spiritual peace of the tattoo owner;
• The determination strong will-power of a person;
• Great intuition and life strength.

Note that the representatives of other zodiac signs may also get Capricorn tattoos. The reasons include both the visually appealingness of sketches and the meaning they convey.

The astrologists say that the best location for this tattoo is the lower part of the body.

• Hip Capricorn tattoo: good location for large and expressive tattoos of different colors;
