Most people who get a Scorpio tattoo get it because of their zodiac sign. Scorpio is the eighth sign in the horoscope, it is a water sign, and its pure color is black, making it the perfect template for tattoos. Besides the astrology aspect, Scorpio is considered to be independent, energetic, and passionate. Therefore, it is also an ideal tattoo even if this isn’t your zodiac sign. In case you are interested in Scorpio tattoos, you are at the right place because we are bringing you 10 Scorpion Tattoo Designs and Ideas, You Will Love!

What Does a Scorpio Tattoo Mean?

As with all tattoos, meanings can vary. A Scorpio is usually the symbol of independence. They are not afraid to go alone on their journey and generally are very honest. They don’t like it when someone isn’t genuine and are very open about their feelings. Scorpio is considered sometimes intimidating, but they are also very connected to their emotional side. All of these characteristics can be the meaning behind your Scorpio tattoo.
