2. Libra Zodiac Sign Tattoo
Tattoos of certain Libra-inspired elements like the weighing scales, omega glyph, etc., make it quite obvious that it is a Libra tattoo. However, if you would like something grander to express your pride for your star sign, you can include a banner that spells out “Libra” in sophisticated font to add an extra bit of glam to your tattoo.
3. Floral Libra Tattoo
If the regular Libra symbols or new-age design elements are too sharp for you, add a bit of floral elegance to your tattoo.

The Libra constellation, also called “the scales”, has a very recognizable shape when the stars are connected. It looks like a scale to the artist and a triangle with two legs to a pragmatist. A tattoo of this constellation can be a great way for Libran lovers of space to express their zodiac pride.
5. Libra Animal Tattoo
Pairing your Libra tattoo with an animal can help add more symbolism to your tattoo. For instance, the above tattoo shows a lion paired with the Libra scales, elevating its symbolism. Qualities like ferocity, leadership, power, bravery, and self-assuredness, mixed with Libra’s passion for justice and a strong sense of community come together to create a powerful tattoo. Go for ornate, illustrative tattooing styles that bring out the best of the regal animal and the proud zodiac sign.
6. Libra Birth Flower Tattoo
There are two ways to go about a Libra birth flower tattoo. You can either go for a rose, which is said to be the Libra flower, or opt for birth flowers associated with the months. As Librans are born either in September or October, you can choose from September flowers like aster and morning glory or October birth flowers such as cosmos and marigold like the above tattoo which features a Libra birth flower tattoo with morning glory.
7. Small Libra Tattoo
A small-size Libra tattoo can convey your sentiments just as impactfully as bigger ones, as long as you choose your tattooing style and placement wisely. The above image shows a minimalist icon-style Libra weighing scales tattoo done on the wrist, drawing attention to the delicate spot and increasing its appeal.
8. Gemini And Libra Tattoo
Both Gemini and Libra are air signs with magnetic personalities and make a good pair. Getting a tattoo with both these elements could be a cool way to honor your bond with a Gemini. Since the Gemini is represented by twins, you may design a tattoo that shows twin people, deities, animals, animated characters, etc., with the Libran scales, constellations, glyphs, and so on.
9. Libra Thigh Tattoo
The thigh is a prime spot for tattoos, allowing a wide canvas to get an elaborate Libra tattoo with multiple artistic elements and multiple complementary colors. However, as the image above shows, you may also opt for a simplistic design. It is not a visible placement for tattoos, which increases the mystery factor of the wearer.
10. Libra Balance Tattoo
A Libra tattoo very often features the weighing scales as it is the symbol of this sign. However, the scales may not always depict a balance. One side may be tipped lower, signifying an imbalance in life. Therefore, for a Libra balance tattoo, go for a design that shows leveled scales. Drive the point home with a label in a pretty font that spells “balance.” Here are some more balance tattoo ideas for you to explore and get inspired by.
11. Libra Hand Tattoo
The hand is a highly visible area, which will allow you to express yourself in a convenient and straightforward manner. Get the scales, glyph, or constellation tattooed on the back of the hand, fingers, or close to the wrist and be mindful of size adjustment for the most wholesome results.
12. Libra Horoscope Tattoo
For the best Libra horoscope tattoo design, work with celestial themes for your background. For instance, a starry sky with some comets or a firework as shown in the image above, could help present your focal Libra element in a vibrant light. You may add some relatable quotes to further elevate the allure of your tattoo.
13. Cool Libra Tattoo
Looking for something different than the traditional Libra symbols, shapes, or colors? All you have to do is get a little creative. The above tattoo features a doodly shape of the Libra omega glyph in warm colors, portraying it like an abstract sun over an abstract mountain with a backdrop that has cool colors and shapes like sunbeams. Put your thinking caps on and play around with such fun ideas for a cool Libra tattoo.
14. Libra And Moon Tattoo
The moon is a universal symbol of an ever-transforming, mysterious, feminine energy, related to the emotional or intuitive side of a person. A Libra and moon tattoo can be done by pairing a moon with the Libra constellation or a minimalistic icon-style tattoo featuring a simple crescent moon and a basic pair of scales as shown above.
15. Libra And Scorpio Tattoo
Intensely passionate Scorpio and charming, flirtatious Libra can make an unexpected but complementary pair. Show off your special bond with your Scorpio by getting your respective symbols tattooed together. The forearm tattoo above shows a minimalistic, yet artistic rendition of the scales and the scorpion, making it a truly arresting tattoo.
16. Matching Libra Tattoos
If you have found a soulmate, a loving partner, or a cherished friend in a fellow Libra, you have hit the jackpot as there are absolutely no questions about the depth of the connection you share. In an artistic celebration of your relationship, get matching Libra tattoos. You can always customize tiny details to fit the design to your taste, but keeping the element itself uniform can be quite meaningful.
17. Libra Tarot Card Tattoo
The Libra sign is associated with scales, which makes for a convenient correspondence with the Justice card that usually features a judge holding scales. However, if you want it to be a special Libra tarot card, you may take inspiration from multiple whimsical or floral frame designs for the card. The central illustration could be of the shimmering constellation, a gleaming moon, and an ornate pair of scales as shown above.
18. Libra And Rose Tattoo
As discussed earlier, the Libra sign is typically associated with the rose. Roses are associated with passionate emotions and an attractive quality that draws attention. Librans with their strong sense of justice, righteousness, and natural magnetism, are the perfect fit. Show some roses scattered around a pair of scales for a classic, vintage-style Libra tattoo.
19. Libra Chest Tattoo
The chest placement is one of the most meaningful spots for a tattoo. Its close proximity to the heart speaks of how deeply the wearer feels about what the tattoo symbolizes. If you feel so deeply attached to being a Libran, then the chest is the ideal placement for you. Try a design like the above that features a scale weighing two differently colored roses, which may symbolize two equally intense thoughts the wearer might be torn between.
20. Capricorn And Libra Tattoo
A Capricorn and Libra may not come across as the most ideal pair, but upon finding common footing in the love of community or having an aesthetic vision, they can hit it off like fireworks! If you have found your Capricorn partner in crime and would like to eternalize your bond, get a tattoo that combines the Capricorn goat and the Libra scales.
21. Libra Tattoo Sleeve For Women
Most Librans work their way through the world with their irresistible and pleasant charm. But if you are a Libran who would rather draw big reactions from people, a Libra sleeve tattoo is for you. Consider getting large floral or abstract patterns surrounding one of the recognizable Libra elements and you shall have people chatting you up instantly.
22. Libra Leg Tattoo
The leg is an action-oriented part of the body, allowing one to move places. A tattoo on the leg can symbolize a yearning for progress or growth, while also hinting at a groundedness due to the proximity with the earth. A Libra tattoo on this spot may speak of a hope that a Libran continues to be true to their ideals and goes places without losing their essence.
23. Libra Spine Tattoo
Metaphorically, having a spine refers to an individual’s quality of standing up tall, brave, and loud for the things they believe in. Factually, a spine connects our upper and lower body and is hugely responsible for our posture and the way we carry ourselves. Having a Libra tattoo on this spot may be perceived as having associated qualities as the backbone of an individual’s identity. A huge ornate pair of scales or a vertically designed celestial tattoo with the constellation would be an eye grabber.
24. Libra Sternum Tattoo
Your sternum is the middle area of your chest and can be labeled as the home of your soul. A Libra tattoo at this spot may mean how soul-healing or comforting Libran ideals are for the wearer. Opt for some earthy tattoo styles like tribal, stick and poke, dotwork, or floral for a truly exquisite piece.
25. Cancer And Libra Tattoo

The tattoo above shows the Libran glyph at the hook of a vintage-style pair of scales which seems to be carried by the Cancerian crab. It could be interpreted as how both parts work together to bring harmony in the relationship with Librans being fair and Cancer uplifting them.
26. Libra Tattoo Behind The Ear
The spot behind the ear is a clever tattoo placement that works as a complementary accessory and can be flaunted or hidden by styling the hair accordingly. Since this is a delicate spot, try going for a fine line, softly shaded pair of scales as shown in the image above. You may experiment with the aesthetics and colors but something not too overwhelming would hit a sweet spot!
