Your tattoos tell the world who you are.
Scorpio Tattoos: That’s why when it comes to deciding what pattern to go for, most people spend tons of time scrolling through the Internet. It’s not always easy to find a tattoo that is unique, personal and aesthetically appealing.
That’s why a zodiac tattoo is a popular idea for lots of people, especially the first-timers. If you are reading this right now, you are probably thinking about the same thing.
And being a proud Scorpio, you are probably looking for something extraordinarily different from anyone else.
It’s not like getting a giant scorpion inked on the thigh will scare you. But why do something so expected and have it last for a lifetime?
So if you are a Scorpio, we’ve gathered some of the best Scorpio tattoo ideas that are gorgeous but not too much.
Scorpio symbols and tattoo elements explained
Scorpions are not your sole option when getting a Scorpio tattoo. Here are the Scorpio elements to give your ink some twists.
- Scorpio glyph
The glyph of Scorpio is similar to the letter M, but with a tail of stinger pointing upward.
- Scorpio sign symbol: The Scorpion
Anyone that knows the basics of astrology will stay out of Scorpio’s way. Represented by the secretive Scorpion, the sign is known to be seductive and vengeful. They feel, love, and hate intensely. If you betray Scorpio’s trust and loyalty, they will sting you with their poisonous tail.
- Scorpio constellation
- Scorpio birth flower: Chrysanthemum
Just like the sign, chrysanthemums have layers covering their stamen. They are beautiful and seductive. Similarly, only the ones that prove they deserve Scorpio’s trust can see the sign’s true self.
- Scorpio sign element: Water
Water signs are known to be intuitive and emotional. As for Scorpio, they tend to bury their feelings underneath their armor.
- Scorpio ruling planet: Pluto and Mars
Pluto is a planet of transformation. It drives Scorpio to break the chains and achieve their goals.
Mars, in Greek mythology, is the governor of war. The signs ruled by Mars are intense and powerful. That makes sense why some Scorpios are short-tempered and impulsive.

Unique Scorpio tattoos for women
Double scorpion on the back
This back tattoo is proof that Scorpio tattoos aren’t always intimidating. Scorpios are a dangerous creature. But the constellation in the background softens the piece.
And this is not a large back tattoo. The fact that it has so many details in such a small area makes this tattoo exceptional.
This tattoo perfectly combines cuteness with mysteriousness. Everyone will have his own interpretation and it will keep people guessing of the real story behind it.
The lethal species
Good tattoos are visual representations of the wearer’s personality. This arm tattoo is screaming “don’t cross me. I sting.” For the badass Scorpio women, this piece is a proud statement.

You Scorpions are probably the most “catty” out of the 12 zodiac signs – doing only what you wanna do and not being scared of the unknown and uncertainty. If this sounds like you, consider getting a zodiac tattoo combined with cats!

The rib cage is a popular placement for tattoos. This scorpion tattoo is sleek and clean. The horizontal lines on the scorpion torso align with the rib bones and compliments the shape of the body.

This tattoo to me is love at first sight. The body of the scorpion is in a perfect S shape, creating a motion. Combining with the water flow, this tattoo is vivid and feminine. And it’s the perfect example that Scorpios can be soft and dangerous at the same time.

A forearm tattoo is less likely to stay hidden like a back tattoo or a thigh tattoo. I love how the artist corporates the natural skin tone with the tattoo instead of filling it with black. This way the tattoo stays clean and less dominating.
