Those born in the thick of autumn in the Western hemisphere (October 23-November 21), Scorpios are known to be mysterious, passionate, and sometimes scarily brooding people. With their intense and strong personalities, it may seem like they're a fire sign, but nope, Scorpio people are true water signs. IYKYK.
Loyal, charming, and intellectual, when a Scorpio has her eyes set on something, well, it's happening no matter what. Makes sense then that Scorpios are represented by the stealthy but dangerous scorpion. We respect this quiet fierceness. All of these qualities translate seamlessly to beautiful Scorpio-inspired tattoos.
Delicate Scorpio Tattoo
Who said fierce meant sacrificing daintiness? No one, especially not the owner of this gorgeous Scorpio tattoo, which features a tiny colored heart and roses wrapped around the pincers.
Watercolor Scorpio Tattoo
This Scorpio tattoo is seriously such a work of art. We love that the scorpion is wrapped in abstract strokes of blues and blacks. The blues are a good callback to the water element!
Red Scorpio Tattoo
From the red ink to the symmetrical lines, we are obsessed with this sexy sternum Scorpio tattoo! Perhaps the scorpion was made to be inked on the sternum?
Sweet Scorpio Tattoo
With pretty stars by its side, this scorpion has stunning linework that makes it feel feminine. We also love how the scorpion curves along the thigh of the owner.
Floral Scorpion Tattoo
Not a fan of scorpions? No problem! The owner of this tattoo showed their love for the eighth Zodiac sign by getting the symbol inked over some gorgeous cherry blossoms.
Behind-the-Ear Scorpio Tattoo
This small scorpion is tucked behind the owner's ear but it would be inaccurate to call it subtle. In a dark ink, the scorpion seems like its crawling alongside their head. It's like if life were a Disney movie, this scorpion would be their animal sidekick.
Dark Rose Scorpio Tattoo
Remember when we mentioned how Scorpios are mysterious and brooding? This single-needle forearm tattoo of a rose and black scorpion overlaid on top of it pretty much sums that all up.
Sketch Scorpio Tattoo
This scorpion demands to be looked at! With the sketch-like lines, shading and dotwork, we think there's a unique artistic quality to it that just can't be ignored.
Scorpio Constellation Tattoo
This wrist tattoo is so elegant and delicate! We're obsessed with the constellation being wrapped around the simple but sweet outline of a flower.
Traditional Scorpio Tattoo
Done in a bold, eye-catching traditional style, this Scorpio tattoo features a woman with roses and a bright scorpion wrapped around her head like a crown. We love the details of her, from the mole on her cheek to the heart tattoo on her upper arm.
Minimal Scorpio Tattoo
This minimalist Scorpio tattoo had us doing a double take. We love how simple the linework is, yet it still captures the spirit and movement of a scorpion.
Super Scorpio Tattoo
This Scorpio tattoo could not be a bigger tribute to the eighth sign. The scorpion's tail perfectly doubles as the Zodiac symbol for Scorpio.
Dotted Scorpio
Take a closer gander at this Scorpio tattoo. With its pincers stretched wide and the tail curled under, it seems like this scorpion was captured in motion. We also love the dotwork detailing along its body.
Delicate Constellation Scorpio
For someone who wants a tattoo that's on the subtler side, check out this Scorpio constellation tattoo! The tattoo artist of this piece really knows how to nail dotwork, just look at the constellation and the rest of the spacey sky.
Simple Scorpio Symbol
A sweet tulip is accompanied by the Scorpio symbol in this simple but stunning greyscale tattoo. The linework is so thin and the shading is absolutely stunning.
