Scorpion Tattoo Stencils

Tattoos of scorpions (with meaning)

The scorpions have ties to many ancient cultures and religions, although we may perceive them as a terrifying insect.

The scorpions are ancient creatures that came into the world millions of years before humans. Therefore, they know this planet much better than we do! And while people believe that scorpions are pretty deadly, not every one of their bites automatically brings death. This is not to say that you should domesticate every Scorpio you come across. Some species are capable of killing humans with one bite.

Still, the opposite of these fatal bites is their benefit for protection. The scorpion uses its sting to protect itself from opponents and enemies. Therefore, the Scorpio can also symbolize protection and defense. In fact, the scorpion is a good example of how effectively small animals can attack an opponent.

Just like other animal tattoos, we often choose scorpions for their innate characteristics and traits. While these characteristics can be fatal and their stings are very dangerous, the scorpions also have very complex properties. For example, the men can choose a scorpion tattoo because it is associated with sexuality and excitement. The male scorpions perform a mating dance to attract the females. Therefore, every man who tattoos a scorpion finds that he is a seducer or a Casanova.

Many cultures have given Scorpio important meanings. For example, the ancient Egyptians associated him with the goddess Selket, protector of the souls that walk onward. In the Mayan culture, the scorpions were a symbol of medicine and surgery. They found that just like the Scorpio, the surgeon must bring his patients to sleep in order for them to be calm. The links with medicine also exist in some African cultures, where it is believed that scorpion venom has important healing properties. In ancient Greco-Roman mythology, Diana used a scorpion to poison Orion. That finally killed him. Then Zeus created a Scorpio constellation in the starry sky.

Thanks to this legend, we have the zodiac sign Scorpio. It is the eighth zodiac sign and applies to everyone born between October 23rd and November 21st. Scorpios are loyal, brave, centered, and intuitive. They can be jealous and manipulative and also a little bit temperamental and vindictive. Getting a tattoo of a Scorpio is the perfect way to wear your zodiac sign with pride.

Meaning of tattoos of scorpion stings

This tattoo can symbolize different things. When it's poisonous and about to attack, a scorpion can be deadly and you must absolutely avoid encountering it. To emphasize these properties, you can give the scorpion a frightening face or let a poison drip from its sting. These types of designs show the others that you are always ready to attack. Plus, they can also represent that you are very resourceful when it comes to teaching defeat to your opponents, even if they are bigger and stronger than you.

On the other hand, it can indicate vulnerability and defensive behavior. Think about your biggest fears or why you sometimes feel vulnerable. You can also immortalize these fears and opponents in the tattoo, in a symbolic or direct way. This way you have a memory of your fears so that you can overcome them. In addition, the Scorpio is a zodiac sign of inner strength, whether for the defensive or the offensive. Having the sting in the design above will make others know you are strong and you shouldn't be underestimated.
