Is Getting an Aries Back Tattoo a Good Idea?

An Aries individual will seldom get a tattoo to impress the world. It will be an impulsive decision and something they would do simply for themselves. You will rarely find an Arian with a tattoo in a place that everyone can gape at. They like the mystery and the secrecy, and chances are that they’ll come up with some pretty unconventional places to get inked on. The back is quite a great place for these individuals. There is plenty of space to satisfy their love for details, they don’t have to look at it everyday but they know it’s always there.

Back tattoos open up the choices for design simply because it’s a much larger canvas. You can experiment with size, motif and colour and pick something which is a blend of the mysterious and is at the same time very you. If you’re considering zodiac signs, Aries back tattoos can be something quite sensational. Going by the Aries origin legend, the back gives you enough space to contain the visual of the noble ram rescuing the children of the clouds. Or if you would rather have the fire breathing dragon protecting the ram’s Golden Fleece, you could choose a design with the fire starting on the back and snaking near the neck.

The tattoos are for those who love the grandness of this cardinal fire sign. If you want to go all the way and get the entire Arian constellation tattooed on your back, well why not? The Arian ram in itself is a very potent symbol of the zodiac representing bravery, adventure, nobility and sacrifice. It can be used in a variety of art styles and could be monochromatic or not depending upon your fancy. If you are an Arian with a sense of humour, you could even have the ram personify traits that you think characterize you—positivity, energy, recklessness, arrogance, impulsiveness. Perhaps an Aries back tattoo where the ram has its foot in its mouth?

There are several other ways that you can choose to enrich a basic Aries symbol and make it unique to your personality and taste. Whether you choose the basic Arian glyph of the full-bodied ram, you can combine other elements of your star sign such as the chestnut tree or the honey suckle flower. If you have set your heart on this, you can make liberal use of the fire imagery—flames, waves, smoke, and plenty of red ink to bring out your red-hot self.

A back tattoo however does not necessarily have to be huge and covering the entire back. According to what you like best, you can choose a small, simple motif for the nape of your neck or slightly off centre, below one of the shoulder blades. Women especially can choose to have their Aries back tattoos on their lower back—something extremely sensual to compliment that position. Perhaps a warrior Goddess after the red planet or simply the fire breathing dragon. The canvas is immense and the choices limitless.
