Men’s Pisces Tattoo Ideas

When choosing a Pisces tattoo design, the first decision is whether they want a black and white design or color. A toned-down monochromatic color works well for the Pisces zodiac sign. An interlocking fish design nearly begs for color. Combining the zodiac and fish design is also popular. Some suggestions include

• Two fish of contrasting blue and red colors with a black zodiac sign in the center
• The zodiac sign is tattooed on one hand, and the fish on the other
• Two circling fish done in black with red color in the center

Pisces Tattoo Meaning

The imagery carries profound astrological significance and is steeped in mythology. When the two fish are drawn facing opposite directions, it can symbolize outside forces pulling in two directions simultaneously, having difficulty deciding which way to travel, or swimming against the current daily.

Some people incorporate the Yin-Yang to symbolize the forces of darkness and light working together. Others associate the fish with a religious connection to Christianity or other religions. It also represents people with conflicting beliefs or who are tough on the inside but soft on the outside.
