While many people that decide to get this tattoo may have been born under the sign of Sagittarius, it’s also likely that some people choose this image because they value the strengths that it represents.
Just as this creature of lore used to roam the fields of ancient Greece in search of quarry, someone who carries a Sagittarius tattoo hopes to express their endurance in the face of difficulty.
But there’s more to the hunt than a powerful will; a true Sagittarius also has a level of skill in archery that is beyond the mortal realm. Many take an interest in getting this sign so that they have a constant reminder of their excellent aim.
In all endeavors of life, from love to business, the Sagittarius knows how to attain a fantastic bounty.
Because this is one of the zodiac signs, there are several design ideas that each are commonly recognized as Sagittarius. The most obvious one is that of a literal beast that bears both equine and human traits.
The most common pose that Sagittarius takes is that of a centaur drawing back the string of a loaded bow. While this is certainly an impressive version of this kind of tattoo, it is also the most expensive.
Those that are interested in a more simplified design also have the choice of a simple arrow with a line crossing the shaft. Either way, everybody will know that this tattoo is the symbol of a legendary hunter.
Sagittarius is often placed on the arm or back where the beast has room to stretch the string of its bow, but is modifiable enough to look good anywhere.
