The iconic symbol for Leo, representing strength, courage, and royal character.

The Leo Zodiac Sign

Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by the Lion. Individuals born under this fire sign are known for their confidence, charisma, and natural leadership. A Leo zodiac tattoo captures this vibrant energy, making it a popular choice for those who want to express their bold personality and creative spirit.

The Leo symbol itself—a stylized representation of a lion's mane and tail—is both simple and powerful. It works beautifully as a standalone tattoo or incorporated into larger designs with celestial, floral, or geometric elements.
