Sagittarius is the ninth of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. If you are considering a Sagittarius tattoo be sure to have a look at the Tribal as well as Celtic designs of the Sagittarius tattoo. Sagittarius are said to be optimistic, driven to ideals, honest and intellectual. You will find a variety of choice of the Sagittarius tattoo. This tattoo can be found with half female and half horse or half male and half horse. Some styles of this tattoo display only the arrow alone or done in combination with feathers, wings or flowers. Yet other designs picture the human half and arrow. In addition you can also select the constellation design style or glyph image of the Sagittarius symbol.
More specifically, the artwork depicts the archer as a Centaur - an immortal being with a horses’ body and the upper torso of a man. Sagittarius tattoos can be of the image, glyph, or combination of both.
Sagittarius is a fire element sign and is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Sagittarius is linked to the ancient Greek story about Cheiron (sometimes spelled Chiron or Kiron), king of the centaurs. During a battle, he was accidentally injured by one of Hercules arrows; an arrow that had been poisoned by the blood of the multi-headed Hydra. Since Cheiron was an immortal the poison did not kill him, but he was destined to a life of eternal suffering. To ease his pain, Zeus turned Cheiron into a constellation, so he could live forever in the sky.
The Sagittarius personality seeks harmony with others, and believes that money should be shared among all (“if you have it, spend it”). Sagittarians make good lecturers and philosophers. They love to be active and travel. They make friends quickly, but are sometimes naively overconfident about who to trust since they don’t see the bad in others. The lists below show a number of characteristics, both positive and negative, that different sources attribute to Sagittarius:
Positive: independent, adventurous, open, honest, dignified, optimistic, enthusiastic, philosophic, idealistic, open-minded, loyal, magnanimous, frank
Negative: indolent, self-indulgent, conceited, dogmatic, pointless wanderings

Sagittarius tattoo designs are a little limited if you stick to your astrological symbol, the archer. Not that there’s anything wrong with that design & there are indeed many great designs incorporating bows & arrows out there.
But have you ever thought about having your astrological glyph as a tattoo instead? For Sagittarius, this is actually quite fashionable at the moment, considering the trend in tribal, Goth & Celtic tattoo designs. Obviously the glyph can be styled & interpreted in a thousand different ways. It could be incorporated into one of the above latest trend styles, it could be in color, have patterns, flowers or barbed wire entwined around it, to give you a few ideas.
