About Taurus Zodiac Symbol Tattoos
A Taurus bull zodiac symbol mainly consists of a circle with a curved line or half-circle sitting on top, as if it's the face of a bull with horns. Taureans tend to be:
- Patient
- Sensual
- Conservative
- Kind
- Reliable
- A little stubborn
- Resistant to change
They're typically easy to love and love others in return. Is it any wonder that a Taurus people who are into astrology would want to have evidence of their nature tattooed on their body? While Taurus is a positive sign, there are negatives to the typical Taurus demeanor including jealousy, possessiveness and greed. Each sign has its pros and cons, of course.
Variations on the Taurus zodiac symbol tattoo include:
- A shield shape with the top two corners crossing and extending to the upper corners of the image, a more angular take on the traditional Taurus symbol
- Scrolling lines flitting in and out of the circle and around the horns
- The symbol inside of another geometric shape, with the surrounding area decorated in circles
The basic symbol shapes can be set on a multitude of backgrounds with extravagant scrolls, realistic bull heads, celestial images, leaves, flowers and words. The simplistic design lends itself to almost anything else you may want to add to the total image. There are ways to incorporate color as well, so it doesn't have to be a plain black design.
Other fun facts about the Taurus sign:
