35 Scorpio Tattoos That You’ll Absolutely Fall in Love With

You can't spell "scorpion" without "Scorpio," and no symbol is a more accurate representation of this sign, which is why this wrist tattoo makes so much sense for you.

The scorpion might be the most obvious choice for an animal-themed Scorpio tattoo, but sharks—as intense, confident, curious, and strategic as they are—totally make sense for you, too. Also, shark attacks. Scorpios are vengeful. Just sayin'.

As a Scorpio, you're a loyal friend. Get the Scorpio constellation tattooed on your shoulder to represent how you always have a shoulder to lean on. Or how you'll give them the cold shoulder if they betray you. Either one.

You're secretive, fiercely protective, and cautious of letting people into your guarded heart. Need I explain the reason why a key tattoo would fit this zodiac sign so perfectly?

Looking for a group tattoo with your best friends or a design to share with a special someone? Go together and get tattoos the symbols of your elements (a water sign is an upside-down triangle, FYI) in the same place.

A tiny tattoo on the back of your next is a little mysterious, a little secretive, and a really good idea for a Scorpio.

What makes a floral design such a good choice for a Scorpio is the fact that this sign has a pretty impressive sense of smell. Seriously! It's a thing. Wear a new perfume around them next time and see what they say.

If you're dating a Scorpio, then you know what passionate lovers they are. They'd love to show their devotion to you with a couple's tattoo, like this one of two avocado halves.

Scorpio is a water sign (obvs), and this beach-themed tattoo is a super-pretty tattoo option that illustrates your connection to the sea. Not only that, but just like Scorpios, clams are hard to open up, but def worth your extra effort once they do.

Let's be real, Cancers, Pisces, and Scorpios have all earned a reputation for being big criers. And as emotional, sensitive water signs, that's kinda fair. Scorpios, in particular, are known for their intense gaze, so lean into all of that with this crying eye tattoo.

Your Scorpio tattoo doesn't have to be so obvious. Actually, as a guarded Scorpio, you probs want to keep the full meaning of your design a secret. A wave tattoo like this one would subtly hint at the water sign without giving it all away.

You, my Scorpio friend, are powerful, brave, and ambitious, which is why a stick-and-poke tattoo of a rocket ship is so perfectly *you*.

The zodiac sign's animal symbol is always a solid option for ink. Plus, the finger tattoo placement is perfect if you need to keep your Scorpio tattoo hidden and only show those closest to you—such a Scorpio thing to do.

Scorpios love a dark red color, so add another clever element to your Scorpio tattoo and get your design done in red ink to represent your intense, fierce, and passionate nature.

Scorpios are hard to read. This abstract wave tattoo? Also hard to read. Get a tattoo that only those closest to you know the true significance of.

If you've decided on a classic Scorpio symbol design, go with a discreet, cheeky hip tattoo placement that will appeal to your secretive and ~sultry~ sides.

This celestial-themed portrait tattoo is as mysterious and deep as you are. This is definitely a conversation starter (and we know how much you love deep convos).

This Scorpio tattoo has many layers to it, just like you. At first glance, it looks like just the Scorpio constellation. But on closer inspection, you’ll find the Scorpio symbol, a planet, the sun, and a moon tattoo hidden in the stars.
