Taurus have a unique taste for tattoos. From big to small, simple to intricate, these Taurus tattoos are tailor-made for the sign.
Taurus is the most down-to-earth out of all zodiac signs, no doubt. They are patient and value stability. These characteristics give Taureans a bad rap for being dull and stuck in a rut. But if you know a Taurean in your life, you know that’s not the case.
Taureans are not attention-seekers. They will not come into a party with a grand entrance and just glide into the spotlight. Instead, they are consistent and loyal, making them good friends and reliable partners.
It’s true that when it comes to self-expression, Taureans are not as adventurous as Aries or Sagittarius. But they have a unique eye for beauty. After all, the sign is ruled by Venus, the goddess of beauty and romance. So, they are all about cohesive color palettes, clean lines, high-quality materials, and class. When you put all these together, you have a gorgeous look that seems effortless.
The same applies to Taurus tattoos. They might not have the most innovative patterns or vibrant colors. But they are timeless and relatable, something you won’t regret 50 years from now. If you are a Taurean, these unique Taurus tattoos are for you. From small to big, simple to intricate, you will find something that represents your identity.

Taurus symbols and elements explained
Taurus tattoos are more than bulls. Here is a list of Taurus elements to add some twists to your ink.
The glyph, or Taurus symbol, is in the shape of a bull’s head and horn.Â
The Taurus sign is represented by the Bull, a tenacious animal with great strength.Â
They work consistently on their goals until they achieve what they want. Most of the time, the bulls are calm and quiet, just like Taurus. But they can be explosive when irritated. Their horns are the warning signs for anyone who messes with them.
Earth signs are known to be practical, down-to-earth, and reliable. Just like Virgo and Capricorn, Taurus has similar earthy qualities.Â
Venus rules the zodiac sign Taurus. It also controls love and prosperity in our lives. With the influences of its ruling planet, Taurus values financial stability and intimacy.Â
It’s their core value to spend a good life with their soulmate. In the meantime, they keep their eyes on the stars and feet on the ground.

Not every zodiac tattoos have to be literal. For example, in this upper arm tattoo, the constellation takes the backseat and complements the feather in the foreground.
Minimalist constellation tattoo
@firstjing
If you want a more abstract zodiac tattoo, you can leave the lines of a constellation out and keep only the stars. However, this forearm tattoo goes one step further to switch the stars to dots and a daisy. It’s not only simple but will also keep people guessing.
Multicolor minimalist Taurus tattoo
@madgreytattoo
While the glyph and constellation are relatively simple motifs, adding colors makes a tattoo more interesting.

Tattooing on the rib can be painful, especially in the boney area, because the skin is relatively thin. And it is a good idea to have something simpler like a constellation.

Taurus constellation hand tattoo
@cherie.beautyco
If you love the simplicity of constellations but want to make a statement, consider ink on the hand.
The Taurus girl
@mrdavidpoe
A tattoo doesn’t have to have all the lines and shading perfect. This blackwork looks like a work in progress. You can almost see the sketch lines of the art. But it’s the imperfection that makes it an artistic tattoo.
Intricate between the boobs Taurus tattoo
@laissntattoo
Most between-the-boobs tattoos are symmetrical. This one, however, goes the other direction. By placing the moon and the sun on either end of the horn, the tattoo creates a yin and yang asymmetrical balance.

Girl and the bull sleeve tattoo
@tattooming1
Yes, bulls can be aggressive. But when they are in loving hands, they are gentle. This is similar to the Taurus sign, capable of being fierce and calm depending on who they are with.
Taurus symbol ankle tattoo
@tattooartist_soyeon
A good thing about choosing the glyph to represent your sign is that you can layer other elements on it. And the entire design will still look cohesive.
Creative tattoos for Taurus men and women
Taurus tattoos are not always about bulls, glyphs, and constellations. The following designs explore more possibilities. Don’t miss these creative tattoos if you want to showcase your Taurus pride subtly.
Gorgeous nape tattoo for Taurus women
@crazynees.ink
You don’t need to tattoo the entire bull to make it Taurus. Instead, you can keep only the horns, like this neck tattoo. And the design will still be relatable.
Black and grey Taurus tattoo
@fahrettinouz
If you want a dramatic effect on a tattoo, consider something as original as this one. The artist paints the horns super long, and the figure seems to be leaning back and taking a deep breath. The energy translates onto the skin and makes the tattoo one-of-a-kind.
Floral thigh tattoo
@lakimii_neu_ulm
Have you ever considered a side of the thigh tattoo? While most thigh tattoos for women have extensive coverages of flowers and leaves, a bull adds a personality.
Snake tattoo for Taurus
@silky.jo_
Snake tattoos are often symbols of protection and temptations. If you resonate with the meaning, why not combine the snake with a glyph to create something original?

Floral armband tattoos are not rare. What’s special about this one is the constellation right in the middle of it. Though the flowers are not connected, it puts the stars in the center of the spotlight.
Crescent moon and Taurus
@1026_45
There is so much you can do with a constellation tattoo, and this one gives another option. Turning the constellation into flowers and branches oozes elegance and femininity.
Half-realism half-geometric back tattoo
@benosquarebali
Realism and geometry are two different styles. But if you want both details and simplicity, why not marry them together like this back tattoo?
Girly pink floral tattoo on the back
@peria_tattoo
The shape of a crescent moon looks like the horns of a bull, which provides another possibility for Taurus tattoos. And the way the petals fall from above the flower adds motion to a static design.
Matching sibling Taurus tattoos
@xinaink
Matching tattoos don’t need to have the same placement. Take these two sibling tattoos, for example. Each sibling gets to pick an area they are comfortable with, and the tattoos will still be proof of an unbreakable bond.
Taurus and Pisces back tattoo
@i.charli.tattoo
Zodiac tattoos can be a token of love. Putting your zodiac sign alongside that of your loved one is not just romantic. It will also represent a lifetime commitment.
Bull skull bicep tattoo
@tattoobyemre_
A bull skull tattoo is more badass and intense than a bull. If you are not afraid of standing out, you will rock this look.
Badass Taurus man tattoo
@defeee
Some tattoos are meant to catch eyeballs, and this is one of them. The wearer’s boldness and creativity are perfectly translated in this design. And the quotation marks lock your attention on it.
Realism forearm tattoo
@piotrindulski
A realism bull might not be the most creative Taurus tattoo. But the tattooist draws the horn out of the frame and makes it feel like the bull is walking out any moment.
