40 Libra Tattoos and Inspo Ideas to Copy ASAP

If you’re struggling with indecision or just nervous about getting a tattoo, this minimalist Libra tattoo is a good choice. It’s small and simple with no elaborate designs, and could easily be a hidden tattoo (think: on the underarm, upper thigh, hip, etc).

Libras, as someone who loves to socialize and connect with people, you don’t hold back on your feelings or keep yourself closed off. This unique red ink heart tattoo is so pretty, and you would literally be wearing your heart on your sleeve.

There are truly endless ways to get the Libra symbol tattooed. It can be as small or as big as you want, and coupled with literally any other cute design you like. Exhibit A: This adorable floral Libra tattoo. I mean, when in doubt, add flowers, you know?

Libras tend to have a sensitive side to them, which is what allows them to be incredibly compassionate people. Lean into that quality with this super sweet baby’s breath Libra tattoo. Don’t be afraid to make it your own and talk to your tattoo artist about the color, placement, and size you want. BTW, this would be a sweet hip tattoo, IMHO.

Libras love symmetry and balance (I mean, the “scales” are the Libra’s symbol after all). A pretty and symmetrical back tattoo like this Libra tattoo is a great way to express that. When you get a big tattoo like this, knowing how to care for it afterwards is hugely important. Spoiler: Keep it dry for the first few days and only use fragrance-free products.

Another great way to lean into your love for symmetry? A butterfly tattoo. Butterfly tattoos can be designed in so many different ways (so talk it through extensively with your artist ahead of time). Plus, Libras are naturally social butterflies, so it's kiiinda perfect.

Remember when you and your bestie made friendship bracelets like 10 years ago and promised to wear them forever? Best friend tattoos are basically the adult version of that, but you’ll actually want to wear it forever, and it won’t end up forgotten in the back of your jewelry box until the end of time. Enter: This very cute best friend Libra tattoo. The wings are so sweet without being extra, and will always remind you of your BFF.

If you’re really into your astrology (like, you get your birth chart read on the reg and don’t make any decisions without consulting your horoscope), this one is perfect for you. Instead of just getting the Libra tattoo, you can get your sun, rising, and moon signs side-by-side like the Gemini tattoo and Scorpio tattoo here. Cute, right?

A moon tattoo might be one of the best Libra tattoo ideas. Libras value harmony and peace, and what’s more peaceful than looking at the moon? And DW, if this moon doesn’t vibe with you, we have literally dozens of other moon tattoo ideas for you.

The best thing about chest tattoos is that you have plenty of room to create big and bold designs, like this upside down flower tattoo. And you can keep this Libra tattoo hidden and personal if you want to. Hot tip: When you get any tattoo, but especially a big tattoo, you want to follow the tattoo after-care steps closely, and use a tattoo-safe lotion to moisturize as soon as the bandage comes off.

My favorite trend in tattoos right now is colored ink tattoos. This Libra tattoo is the perfect example, and the design is perfect for a Libra’s love of symmetry and flowers. And if you’re looking for even more color, a watercolor tattoo might be even better for you.

Libras, sometimes you get stereotyped as flaky and indecisive. It might not be fair, but you tend to need more time to make decisions that seem to come naturally to others—but that just means you’re thoughtful and thorough. This hourglass Libra tattoo is a great representation of that side of you. And the best thing about fine line tattoos? It will heal faster and you won’t see too much peeling.

The scales are the Libra sign, because seeking balance and equilibrium in your life is basically your whole thing. This Libra tattoo will remind you of that whenever you feel out of balance. Lilies not for you? Swap them out with your favorite flower, or skip it altogether.

Libras, you are so much more than a social butterfly, and this half-butterfly libra tattoo represents that. You love to make connections and develop strong relationships. A quick aftercare tip: Make sure you swap out your heavily scented cleansers for a fragrance-free cleanser to prevent irritation while your tattoo heals (some of my favs? CeraVe Foaming Cleanser Bar or Drunk Elephant Kamili Cream Body Cleanser.

This one is a much more intricate tattoo, and it’s kind of a spot-on representation of Libras. Wherever a Libra is going, they’re always leading with their heart. Heads up: Because this one has so much detail, it’ll be a challenge to keep it hidden away (read: not a good behind-the-ear tattoo). Besides, it’s just really cool to show off.

If you like a more abstract, artsy tattoo, might I suggest this very pretty linear Libra tattoo? It plays into Libra’s excellent taste and love for all the pretty things. This is a detailed one, so when you’re looking for the right tattoo artist, scroll through their Instagram to check out their previous work and see if it matches the ~vibe~ (and skill level) you want.

The only other creature as loyal as a Libra is their pup. Tattoos of names and faces are notoriously risky (no shade to Travis and Kourtney), but I’d take a tattoo of my dog (or, like, anyone’s dog? I’m not picky) any day. You really can’t help but smile every time you look at it, and that’s the kind of energy I want for your Libra tattoo.

Ok, before we go any further: pls don’t DIY your stick-and-poke tattoo. It might look easy, but based on what we saw at the height of quarantine last year, it can quickly go from “fun new hobby” to “scary infection, major regret.” So make sure you have a pro take care of it. And when you do, consider this very cute Libra tattoo that looks especially adorable as a wrist tattoo.
