65 Trendy Scorpion Tattoos, Designs and Ideas

Are you thinking about getting a scorpion tattoo? In this article, we have gathered images of 65 trendy scorpion tattoos to inspire you for your next ink.

Though small, there is no doubt that scorpions are very intimidating creatures. They often go unnoticed until they have already struck out at their prey, making them skillful hunters and a silent threat to everything around them. Because of their iconic stance with their tails poised for striking, scorpions often represent defensiveness or protection. They are also symbolic of a person who likes to be in control, considering their formidable nature.

Scorpions also spend most of their lives alone, leading them to be associated with solitude and someone who can take care of themselves. However, this time of loneliness is interrupted by short and intense bursts of passion that come with mating. For this reason, scorpion tattoos also symbolize passion.

Because of all of these attributes associated with the scorpion, they are a trendy tattoo choice for strong and independent people. If you are considering getting a scorpion tattoo, check out some of these fantastic pictures for inspiration.

Scorpion Tattoo Ideas

Scorpion Tattoos for Men 

There are various meanings of Men’s Scorpion tattoos. Their popularity is so strong due to the scorpion’s nasty well-known reputation. Men will ink the scorpion as a reminder to all that the sting is much worse than the bite. You could also try a side view of the scorpion with its back arched in a foreword stance, and its grasping claw held high in the air, and of course, it’s tail forward in a stinging position. This design would illustrate the scorpion in their most menacing pose as well.

Scorpion Tattoos for Women

Women’s scorpion tattoos are still just as popular as they have been for many years. The scorpion has many different meanings for the ladies. They do represent power, adaptability, and even sensuality and incorporated with other elements. To display power or strength, a two-dimensional view of the scorpion with its stinger high in the air and claws at the ready on the upper body, works just fine. For a sensual look, try a top view of the scorpion in a fully relaxed poise on a sensitive part of the body, like the wrist or ankle.

Black Scorpion Tattoos

Black scorpions tattoos are usually referring to one of the gigantic scorpions in the world. They are known as the Emperor Scorpion and are, on average, 8 inches long and black as the night sky. Emperor Scorpions are burrowers and will lie in wait for their next victim, and so for a quick tattoo idea; the front half of the body of the Emperor Scorpion and claws in a tattoo design that looks as if is coming out of your skin. Consider that this design will take a medium to a large amount of skin, but will be outstanding!

Scorpio Zodiac Tattoos

A Scorpio zodiac might be the perfect tattoo to describe yourself if you were born between October 24 and November 22. The Scorpio tattoo design looks good in many different styles. They look very bold in a tribal pattern and seem to look and fit Scorpios’ personality.

Coloring and Placements of Scorpion Tattoos

Coloring for scorpion tattoos will vary. For a realistic look, you may use color. Most often, scorpion tattoos are inked in single dark-colored ink. 

Placement and sizing for your scorpion tattoos depend entirely on your choice. Medium and large scorpion tattoos look great on the back, arm, shoulders, chest, and waist. Try the scorpion on the chest with the tail going over the shoulder, which looks very cool. Smaller scorpion tattoos look great behind the ear and on the hand, thigh, calf, and ankle. Some women are tattooing a tiny scorpion right below the bikini line.
