Capricorns are determined, relentless, and have big boss energy 24/7. If you’re a proud member of the sea goat fam — alongside stars like the late Aaliyah, Blue Ivy Carter, Timothée Chalamet, and former First Lady Michelle Obama — then you’re well acquainted with the drive, dedication, and inner goofiness that comes along with having a birthday that falls between December 22 and January 19. And nothing could show off your pride like getting a Capricorn tattoo.
Astrology-inspired tattoos are nothing new, and there are tons of ways to integrate them into beautiful designs. Celebrities like Rihanna, Demi Lovato, and Cara Delevingne have body art that pays tribute to their astrological signs. If you’re a Capricorn sun, moon, rising, or have a significant Capricorn placement in your birth chart, you have an exciting opportunity to celebrate your birthday through your ink.
There’s no shortage of inspiration for Capricorn tattoos. The Cap symbol (a fancy looking “N”) is always a good choice. A sea goat (another classic Capricorn symbol), the ruling planet (Saturn), and a birthstone (like garnet) can create some stunning art you would still love for years to come as well.
