If you are proud of your zodiac sign, the nape is the place to show it. But there is more than one symbol that represents your sign.

The animal symbol is perfect if you want something illustrative. Want something minimalist? Consider a glyph. But if you want something in the middle, a constellation like this one has just enough details to shine.

The lоtus flоwer is оften seen in tattооs fоr wоmen, representing calmness and zen in Buddhism. A lоtus tattоо is believed tо guard the wearer’s inner peace.

So if you value peace of mind, a small lotus flower tattoo, such as this one, may be what you are looking for. Plus, because it’s placed close to the hairline, you can choose to hide or show it by changing your hairdo, giving you maximum flexibility.

The cross is a religious symbol that signifies one’s faith. But a cross tattoo is more than that. Because it’s permanent, it brings everlasting strength to the wearer. And adding the rose makes it more elegant and feminine.

A tattoo reveals the personality and beliefs of the wearer. And nothing speaks louder than a quote tattoo. In this back-of-the-neck tattoo, for example, the words “forever young” reveals the wearer’s passion and enthusiasm. This is someone that believes a passionate heart doesn’t age.

As the symbol of the Scorpio sign, scorpions are seen as exclusive to Scorpios. But more and more people are getting scorpion tattoos for other reasons.

Scorpions’ stings can be deadly. And because of that, they resonate with badass people. Adding a rose is a good idea to make a Scorpio tattoo feminine like this one. It suggests that the wearer may be attractive. But she is also someone you don’t want to mess with.

Have yоu ever seen a tattоо and wоndered what it is? This is the beauty оf abstract tattооs – they keep yоu guessing. This small back-оf-the-neck tattоо, fоr example, has patterns that lооk like thоse оf a planet. But it can be a circle оf swirls, tоо. The attractiоn оf an abstract tattоо lies in the mystery.

Tiny fine line evil eye neck tattoo by @sonia_ink_

@sonia_ink_

It makes sense why many people are getting eye tattoos. They are naturally eye-catching. And depending on the culture, they may have various symbolisms.

For example, an eye tattoo in Eastern countries may symbolize wisdom. But in Greek mythology, the eye was considered to be evil.

Small unalome symbol tattoo by @maggiemaytattoos

@maggiemaytattoos

The Unalome, as shown in this neck tattoo, is a spiritual emblem in Theravada Buddhism. The straight line and the following twists and turns represent the life path. It’s also considered to represent the road to enlightenment.

If you practice yoga, this symbol will not come as strange to you. It’s on yoga mats, yoga outfits, and many props. If you are a yogi and looking for something symbolic, the unalome can be a yoga tattoo for you.

Without the little girl, this behind-the-ear tattoo would be another zodiac tattoo. But the tattooist creatively adds a little girl pulling the constellations and makes the tattoo instantly more fun and unique.

@tattooist_eq

Landscape tattoos are usually wide. This nape tattoo, however, takes out part of a landscape and puts it into a slim stripe to fit the shape of the neck. The crane flying out of the frame adds liveliness to the design.

Tiny Pisces back of the neck tattoo by @brosinktattoos

@brosinktattoos

Have you ever checked the description of your sign and thought to yourself, “well, that explains everything.” If so, a zodiac glyph tattoo may be for you.

Every sign has its own glyph, usually a symbol consisting of simple lines and shapes. If you want to show the world who you are, the glyph is on point.

And because it can be tattooed as small as you wish, it also makes perfect first tattoos. Check out more zodiac sign tattoo ideas.

@sparrow_flies_tattoo

It makes sense why bоtanical tattооs are widely pоpular amоng wоmen. They are simple but, at the same time, bring a fresh vibe tо the skin. Fоr example, a small, dainty leaf tattоо behind the neck resembles an accessоry made by nature.
