The constellation tattoos and animals are a very cool option for those looking for a tattoo that combines animal symbolism with the symbolism of the stars and the firmament.
Therefore, in this article we have looked for the tattoos with animals and constellations coolest in which you can be inspired to make your next piece, specifically the tattoos with the constellation of lupus, those of leo and those of canis.
The constellation lupus, or the wolf
One of the most popular constellation and animal tattoos is the one featuring the wolf. It consists of about thirty not very bright stars, the most of which are a pair of beautiful blue giants about 500 light years from Earth.
Says the legend associated with the constellation of lupus that represents the image of Lycaon (guess where the name 'lycanthrope' comes from ...) an ancient king of Arcadia who was punished by the gods for killing almost all of his children turning him into a wolf.
The constellation of leo, the lion
Perhaps among constellation and animal tattoos you want to be inspired by your zodiac sign, since there are a lot of animals (Aries, Pisces, Taurus ...). In this article we have chosen leo, a constellation that was discovered in ancient Greek times and that refers to the first lion killed by Hercules.
As a curiosity, next to Leo is Beremice's hair, which was originally believed to be part of Leo, but has ended up being considered a constellation in its own right.
The constellation of Canis Maior, the dog
Finally, the constellation Canis Maior is the one that contains the brightest star in the sky, Sirius. The Romans associated this star with what they called dog days, that is, the hottest days of summer, since it is when it appears in the sky.
There are different dog candidates to give this constellation a name, among them the dog of Orion or Laelaps, whom Zeus turned into stone.
