On occasion we have been speaking in Tatuantes of the scorpion tattoos. However, at no time have we published an important compilation of this type of tattoos on the blog. And it is that if you are a lover of these arthropods or on the contrary, you have always had respect for them (not to say fear), I am sure that they will not leave you indifferent.
But What do scorpion tattoos mean? Well, on the one hand we have to take into account its association with the zodiac sign Scorpio, while on the other, we should place the scorpion as an animal totem. First of all, we must comment that it is not necessary to be a Scorpio to feel identified with said zodiac symbol.
And it is that if you decide to capture a scorpion tattoo on your skin, you are implying that you are not a weak person. Rather the complete opposite. Said tattoo denotes great strength and that we are a very self-confident person. While it can convey a false image of arrogance or unfriendly person, quite the opposite. Those "Sensations" would be discarded when knowing how you really are.
The truth is that it is an animal that I personally have always had a lot of respect for. His pose of "Perfect armored killing machine" created by nature inspires respect and suspicion. When you meet one in the wild, it is best to leave it alone and not get in its way. Otherwise you will get scalded or worse. And you, would you get a scorpion tattoo? Take a look at this collection of tattoos.

Types of scorpion tattoos

Realistic
All kinds of realistic guy tattoo, has in common several details to take into account. In this case, it is a design where the animal seems to have a life of its own. This is due to the effect of the shadows, which give it this special finish. That is why it will be perfect for all those who really adore the scorpion and everything that it implies or means.
Egyptian
Although it is true that the scorpion may have a not very positive meaning, it has not always been this way. Since it is said that in ancient Egypt its meaning was that of an amulet. So he attracted good luck, removing all bad from the person who was close to him. That is why scorpion tattoos can also have positive purposes and when talking about tattoos, we will add an Egyptian symbol such as the goddess Selket, since the scorpion had its deity in it.
Simple
We are not always going to find a wide design that covers a large amount of skin. But we can also meet simpler designs that are perfect to wear in other areas of the body such as the wrists or ankles. It can also be combined in different colors, according to your personal tastes.
3D
In this case, in addition to the realism it presents, always it can be accompanied by some color or, of other details that leave the most impressive touch. Some of the designs are accompanied by a base or a part of the ground that seems to open up to the passage of this type of arachnid. Both its shape and its design seem to come to life and come out of the skin.
Tribal
It is one of the most demanded designs by many users. More than anything because it has some strokes or lines in black ink that make the shape of the animal, in an original way. Far from that realism that the animal itself offers us,
Geometric
The geometric tattoos They are all those who adopt a shape and follow it throughout the tattoo itself. Some are linked to a meaning full of balance or sacred, since it is the lines that complete such a tattoo that add both symbolisms. So the scorpion is also protected against a series of lines that delimit its silhouette.
With rose
A way to unite two quite contrary meanings. But instead of the scorpion's stinger, they usually carry a rose. A flower that brings beauty and love or passion. Hence, the designs can be varied and adapt to the whole body, being more frequent a medium or small size.
Maori
Symbols are one of the protagonists of Maori tattoos. Some of them are spiral strokes or twists that come to indicate the symbol of eternity. But there are also arrows or shells and in all of them, we will find the best options to trace our scorpion tattoos that we like so much.
Where to get a scorpion tattoo
In the arm
The arm is always one of the best canvases, or the one we think of when we are determined to get a tattoo. Hence, if we talk about the scorpion tattoos we weren't going to be left behind either. The most common is to place it on the forearm or vertically starting from near the shoulder. So that in this way, it seems that it is walking by the arm. In this case, we can play with the size of the animal, both simpler and smaller and larger and more attractive.
In the hand

You can choose to place it on the side and in a large size, or, behind the ear. Since this place is always much more discreet for all those who love simple tattoos.
On the foot
In the same way as in the hand, also in the foot area it can be a great idea. Here we can get carried away by various styles. A large size that covers the part of the instep of the foot or another that is just in the ankle area. Others opt for a discreet animal next to the toes or on the side from the heel to the base of the toes. Ideas for all tastes and in the vast majority, black ink is always the main one.
