One of the most popular tattoos of today is an astrological
tattoo that depicts the sign of the month of the year that a
person was born. Each month of the year has its own zodiac
symbol, and each symbol has its own meaning and attributes,
depending on the position of the sun in the zodiac. These
astrological tattoos tell other people of the month the person
was born, and anyone that knows anything about astrology can
tell what the attributes of that month are. Many people seek
the love compatibility astrological signs when looking for
their future partner.

The origin of the western symbols dates back as far as the 2nd
millennium BCE, to the Babylonians and Assyrians, then spread
throughout Asia, Europe and the Middle East. The Chinese
astrological signs must not be confused with the western
symbols and interpretations as they are both very
different.

practiced all around the world from the beginning of man. They
were a symbol of someone's accomplishments and their bravery.

their tribe and many other things that the tribe believed in,
such as their favorite god, or fertility rites. The Chinese
astrological signs are still very popular as astrological
tattoos for many cultures, not only the chinese. The earliest
practice of tattooing dates back as far as the Otzi the Iceman,
who was frozen in an ice storm in the 4th millennium BC. He had
57 tattoos on his body.
