Baby Shark Aquarius Tattoo Idea

NGL, I don't think I could get a shark tattoo simply because I would permanently have "Baby Shark" stuck in my head. But despite that, a shark is the perfect bold, fearless representation of the Aquarius. Make sure you rub on an aftercare tattoo balm to heal your mini sea creature after you get it inked.

These Matching Koi Fish Aquarius Tattoos

It’s no secret that the koi fish represent prosperity, ambition, and courage—kind of like the Aquarius does, no? This ink is perfect for matching best friend tattoos IMO, especially if your bestie is also an Aquarius.

This Stormy Water Aquarius Tattoo Idea

Fun fact for ya: Did you know that each zodiac sign represents a certain god or goddess? For Aquarius, it’s none other than Prometheus, God of forethought and counsel. He was great in all that he did for humankind, even though he was somewhat chaotic and rebellious—and if that sounds like you? Celebrate it with this cool, stormy tattoo.

No matter what the Aquarius endures, they go with the flow, kind of like a wave does in the ocean. To keep this Aquarius tattoo from fading, pick up a tattoo lotion or a multipurpose healing balm for optimal moisture and care.

This Solar System Aquarius Tattoo

There are truly endless ways to represent your love of humanity and the universe, like this mini solar system tattoo. It symbolizes your need for oneness in the world. If you want to make sure this Aquarius tattoo lasts and heals properly, I def suggest investing in a tattoo care kit.

This Serenity Aquarius Tattoo

While the Aquarius loves to be involved with their community, here's your reminder to take time for yourself, too. Make sure to use a tattoo-friendly body lotion to keep the area hydrated—especially while it's healing.

This Scripted Aquarius Tattoo Design

This Spaceship Aquarius Tattoo

This is giving real “Take me to your leader” vibes, which is my exact energy in 2022, TBH. It's also perfect for the Aquarius, a person that we’d like to represent the Earth if aliens crash landed on our planet. BTW, don't worry if your tattoo peels while it's healing (it's no big deal and super normal). You can keep washing your new ink with a fragrance-free cleanser, but make sure to only use lotion at least two days after it starts peeling.

This Large Seashell Aquarius Tattoo

If you're ready for leg ink, try out this beautiful seashell tattoo. Caring for a piece this large takes some effort, as you'll have to clean it often with a fragrance-free cleanser and apply a tattoo lotion on it for some time. I promise you it's worth it, because it looks so good.

This Beating Heart Aquarius Tattoo

This beating heart tattoo symbolizes three things: courage, honor, and love (aka everything the Aquarius embodies). What I love about small tattoos is that they're less of a huge commitment (but don't get me wrong—tattoos are still a commitment), since it can be hidden away and you'll be less likely to need any painful tattoo removal.

This Planetary Alignment Aquarius Tattoo

If you want a symbol of surviving 2020 and 2021, look no further than this Saturn in Aquarius ankle tattoo. The planet is in the air sign until 2023, and is also known as an authority figure in astrology. Which is kind of why it feels like all of our pillars of normalcy are being challenged right now.

This Rare Aquarius Tattoo

You are the rarest of them all, Aquarius. Get this tiny tattoo to remind yourself that you can move mountains, make change, and take on the world with just an idea and your willpower.

This Rainbow Aquarius Tattoo

I love how minimalist this tattoo is while still showing the rainbow, clouds, and the ocean. This would make a great hidden placement tattoo that isn't super visible if you want to keep your ink a secret.

This Wave Tattoo for an Aquarius

Between your need for transformation and go-with-the-flow attitude, you could say the ocean is a perfect representation of you, repped by this giant wave tattoo. If you ever want to test how this placement will look before you get ink on your body permanently, try a temporary tattoo marker first.
