So, I’ve always been fascinated by astrology, you know? And the idea of getting a tattoo that really represents who I am just seemed so cool. I’m a Pisces, super emotional and dreamy, and I’ve always been drawn to Scorpios – they’re so intense and passionate. I thought, “Why not combine these two water signs into one awesome tattoo?”
First off, I hit up Pinterest. Seriously, that place is a goldmine for tattoo inspiration. I spent hours scrolling through different designs, saving anything that caught my eye. I saw everything from simple constellation tattoos to these crazy detailed pieces with scorpions and fish. It was a bit overwhelming, honestly.
After I had a bunch of ideas, I started thinking about what I really wanted. I knew I wanted something that showed the balance between Scorpio’s intensity and Pisces’ empathy. It’s like, we’re both water signs, driven by emotion, but in different ways. I wanted the tattoo to capture that duality.
I decided to go with a design that incorporated both the Scorpio and Pisces symbols, but in a more abstract way. For the Scorpio part, I picked a stylized “M” with a barbed tail, representing the scorpion’s stinger. And for Pisces, I chose two curved lines, kind of like the fish swimming in opposite directions, but also forming a circle together. It was simple, but it felt meaningful.
Then came the hard part – finding the right artist. I asked around, checked out some local shops, and looked at artists’ portfolios online. Finally, I found this one artist whose style I really loved. We chatted about my idea, and she got it immediately. She even added some cool watercolor effects to represent the water element, which I hadn’t even thought of!
- Talked to the artist about placement. We decided on my forearm because I wanted it to be visible but also easy to cover up if needed.
- Scheduled the appointment. I was so excited!
- Got the tattoo! It hurt a bit, especially near the wrist, but it was totally worth it.
The Final Result
The tattoo turned out even better than I had imagined. It’s this beautiful blend of Scorpio’s intensity and Pisces’ dreaminess, all wrapped up in this elegant, abstract design. Every time I look at it, I feel this sense of connection to my astrological signs and the deeper parts of myself. It’s like a permanent reminder of who I am and the balance I strive for in my life. I just love it!
Seriously, getting this tattoo was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s more than just ink on my skin – it’s a piece of art that tells my story.
