Alright, so I’ve been thinking about getting a new tattoo for a while now, and I finally decided to go for it. As a proud Virgo, I wanted something that really embodied my sign. After scrolling through countless Pinterest boards and Instagram posts, I came across the idea of a “Virgo Maiden” tattoo. It just clicked – it’s classic, it’s symbolic, and it’s totally me.
The maiden is often depicted as this serene figure, sometimes holding a sheaf of wheat, which I found pretty cool. It’s all about harvest and fertility, you know? But it also represents purity and diligence, which are total Virgo traits. I knew I wanted the maiden to be the centerpiece of my tattoo, but I also wanted to add my own personal touch.
First, I started brainstorming design ideas. I spent hours sketching out different versions of the maiden. One had her surrounded by a delicate floral wreath, which I thought was beautiful and added a soft, feminine vibe. I also played around with the idea of having a tiny, understated bee buzzing around her, since bees are also associated with Virgos. I mean, we are known for being busy and hardworking, right?
Next, I had to figure out where to place this masterpiece. I’ve always been a fan of ankle tattoos. They’re discreet, but still noticeable, and they just feel elegant to me. After debating between my left and right ankle, I finally settled on my right. It just felt right, you know?
Then came the fun part – finding a tattoo artist. I asked around, checked out some local studios’ online portfolios, and finally found an artist whose style I loved. We had a consultation, I showed her my sketches and references, and she helped me refine the design. She suggested making the maiden’s features a bit more defined and adding some shading to give the tattoo depth.
Finally, the day arrived. I was a bit nervous, but mostly excited. The tattooing process itself took a couple of hours. The artist was super precise and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. We took a few breaks, chatted, and listened to some music. Honestly, the pain wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It was more of a constant, dull ache.
- Choosing the design: I went with the maiden holding wheat, surrounded by a floral wreath, and a tiny bee.
- Picking the placement: Right ankle, all the way.
- Finding the artist: Someone with a delicate, detailed style was a must.
- Getting inked: A few hours of bearable pain for a lifetime of beauty.
When it was all done, I was thrilled with the result. It was even better than I had imagined. My Virgo Maiden tattoo is a beautiful reminder of my best qualities, and it’s a piece of art that I’ll cherish forever. It’s discreet, it’s meaningful, and it’s uniquely me. If you’re a Virgo thinking about getting a tattoo, I highly recommend considering the maiden. It’s a classic for a reason.
