Tons of Libra Tattoos: The Scales of Justice!
Love for Libra Tattoos! Our favorites from the Scales of Justice!
19. In the Hands of Faith
Never will anyone who says his Rosary everyday be led astray….This is a very stylish tattoo featuring the iconic Libra scales dangling from Rosary wrapped hand, and sun and moon on either side keeping the balance between dark and light. The Rosary is symbolic of strong faith, devotion, tradition, and prayer, and in this work represents the tying together of faith and astrology in a well balanced, well positioned brand. It also hints at keeping an equal balance between good and evil in the representation of night and day at either side of the inked hand. A unique piece with multiple meanings hidden within.
18. Hidden by Rose Design Libra Tattoos
I like this design concept, Libra symbolism delicately wrapped in vine of rose. Though it’s not very clearly defined and doesn’t instantly read Libra when you look at it, maybe that was the point. If the wearer wanted a hidden emblem with rose taking the foreground, then this is a very successful piece. The rose is symbolic of the zodiac flower under the sign of Libra and represents a unique ability to see the hidden meanings in things, exposing the underlying evidence for what it is. It would appear then, as things come into focus, that the subtle symbolism here was beautifully intentional making this art stand out in elegant, faint and sophisticated style.
17. Supporting Balance
Limited Time Offer (click photo)
Reminiscent of tribal women carrying pales of water or goods across their back, this whimsical beauty makes up the body and support of the scale, it’s weight pans swinging at her sides, representative of Libra holding everything in balance. Very nice shading really brings this art out of the canvas and achieves a subtle background with a pencil smudged look making the tattoo very soft, and beautiful highlights in just the right places breathe life into art and create a permanent zodiac inscribe, delicate and ambiguous in design.
16. Elements of Libra
This classic set of scales have a simple, elegant design shaded perfectly, with brightly colored flame and liquid elements bursting out of the weight pans that give it a very fluid look and feel. Water, the cleansing, healing, loving element splashes in the right pan symbolizing intelligence, wisdom and flexibility and embodying Yin, the feminine aspect. The left pan is ablaze with the fire element, symbolic of strength and persistence and these curvy, spiky, waving flames of red and orange hue represent fire as Yang, masculine in nature and the creator and destroyer. Fire, unlike the other elements doesn’t exist in a natural state and requires another element in order to transform and take physical form. Overall a well placed tattoo that brings opposing elements into balance and marks Libra in flesh in style.
15. Bright Pink Libra Tattoo Rose
Beautiful, bright fuchsia injected rose with excellent highlighting really pops on the back of neck. Boldly contrasting in color is the Libra sign, overlaid atop petals and brushed with white to really make it stand out. Libra is ruled by Venus and associated with the pink rose, representing appreciation and joyfulness. A very well placed tattoo that really dazzles with intense color saturation and shines on skin.
14. Faith and Harmony
Bold, clean lines really make this tattoo shine and the baby blue rays coming from behind the cross makes it pop out of pale skin and nicely captures the notion of faith and balance with cross and scales in beautiful alignment. This piece screams faith in loud, lightly shaded form representing the wearer’s devotion. And neatly emblazoned over cross is the iconic Libra scales in perfectly highlighted fashion. All around a great piece that stylishly mixes religious sentiment which astrological vision.
13. Elements in Perfect Balance
Lovely design concept featuring the Yin Yang symbol as a base for delicate Libra scales. I particularly like the shadowing behind this balancing act, very lightly injected into skin, the shadow gives the work an added dimension bringing it out of the canvas superbly. Although some of the line work is a little wobbly, overall this is a nice tattoo and clearly reads Libra within harmonious design.
12. Good Vs Evil Libra tattoos
The spirit of Libra lives in this tattoo, her body shrouded and tangled in ribbon as she floats in the foreground, perhaps representative of judgement or a silky siren, both enticing and angelic she subtly points to immorality and absolution with a wave of hands. The scale in the background hangs heavy with sin on one side and in stark contrast floats lightly with forgiveness on the other. Very cleanly inked lines and expert shading make this a unique piece and it represents the balancing act between good and evil; the ultimate sentiment of faith, that ties in zodiac influence in fluid style and great composition.
11. All Seeing Libra
Lovely art work perfectly balanced between shoulder blades. This interesting design shows both light and dark represented in the sun and night sky on either side. The well drawn eyes are symbolic of insight, psychic power and precognition, they are neatly placed between the chains on the scales to watch over the wearer’s world. With very good lining and excellent shading work, this stylized ink is a real success, the scales evenly splitting the extremes, it stands out on flesh in awesome form. This tattoo represents all the universe in perfect balance and is a wonderful way to celebrate the Libra spirit.
10. Life in the Balance

This twisted tree of treasures has Libra finely woven into its trunk and branches, and celebrates new life and astrological sign in a well placed tattoo that begs for closer inspection. With Libra symbol printed on trunk, this piece reads clearly, and turning the tree, which represents life, inner growth, into scales with weight pans chained to either side works exceedingly well. Intricate, exceptional line work coupled with carefully injected shading makes the tree look like its filled with pattern work form afar, and a closer look reveals it to be the texture of the tree bark. A great piece honoring mother nature and the sign of Libra in one very well rounded inscribe.
9. Constellation Libra tattoos
A simplistic, very elegant tattoo that represents star sign through constellation diagram. Very dainty dots placed with precision make up the layout of the stars in the night sky and even more delicately dotted lines connect them. This is a unique take on Libra tattoos and sets the scales out of balance with more traditional, obvious designs. The only sign that is represented by an object instead of an animal or mythological creature, the constellation of Libra means in Latin, “the weighing scales”. A great tattoo, fabulous idea and a subtle way to celebrate zodiac symbol, this brand is very stylish and makes a bold personal statement in a charming way.
8. Balanced Forearm Bliss
Stunning symmetry and picture-perfect positioning and alignment make this tattoo a total success and the way that it can be torn apart and put back together again with a wave of arms, like a fairy tale of old, is a novel idea and adds a unique dimension to the art work. These well balanced scales feature beautiful and ornate line work and a central Yin Yang symbol separated across two arms and only complete when the wearer links hands and the tattoos face each other, hidden from view but together in harmony and spiritual sequence. Light, airy and exquisitely placed; beautiful.
7. Tribal Zodiac
A Libra tattoo of tribal influence loudly and proudly sunk into skin. The bold, jagged border that rounds this balancing act really makes this work stand out, and is wonderfully shaded adding another layer of dimension to the piece. The scales themselves feature both Aries and Cancer weighing evenly, perhaps to represent the astrological signs of loved ones held in harmony, supported by Libra, a perfect honoring of entangled spirits forever stamped into devoted flesh.
6. Graceful, Transforming Libra
Simple scale carried by rainbow butterfly beauty. This tattoo is brilliantly bright, oozes elegance and is a gorgeously stylized piece representing Libra with grace, and boldly colored butterfly in flight, which is symbolic of transformation, new life, symmetry and fascination. Within the specter’s wings is the ancient Om symbol incorporated, meaning the soul within, ultimate reality, divinity, truth and knowledge. This tattoo will bring a smile to the wearer for life and coolly represents star sign and personal growth in a stunning composition that pits black and grey against pure rainbow spectrum, in stark contrast, that really separates this ink from the standard Libra brands.
5. Life and Death in the Balance
I love the concept for this design, it’s an interesting piece that represents Libra in a unconventional way and is reminiscent of tarot card art. Inspired by the fine line that divides this world from the next, this well placed shoulder brand captures the spirit of Libra, and with half human, half skeleton hybrid holding up the scales, it is symbolic of life and death hanging in the balance. Although it could be a little clearer, and human side more obviously defined, this tattoo is a pretty awesome way to honor the Libra star sign in gloriously dark and morbid fashion.
4. Libra Flying Free
Majestic eagle perched atop totem scales recognizes Libra qualities in front of orange setting sun in unique, distinctly Native American style. The tattoo here is well placed in the center of the chest making it a large, bold brand that stands out against the wearer’s other needlework inscribes, making it a focal point of interest on the body. The eagle is considered the King of birds and symbolizes freedom, victory and spiritual quest, a great work of art then to emblazon across solar plexus, and coupled with the scales, nicely represents Libra in awe inspiring, traditional American perspective. Beautiful work.
3. Lilac Libra Lotus
Super clean lining and gorgeous shading work brings this tattoo to life and represents Libra with star sign symbol injected over delicate lotus flower, embodying the notion of new life growing out of the muddy waters of attachment and desire. The lotus is symbolic of purity of the body, rebirth and divinity. It is an unusual flower in that it returns to the mud at night only to re-flower clean and beautiful the next day, thus a heavy metaphor for rejuvenation and spiritual enlightenment. All in all this is a lovely tattoo with lots of hidden meaning held within, and a classy way to honor zodiac sign and spirit in a groovy, brightly colored fusion of flower and symbolism.
2. Foxgloves in Focus
Another flowery surprise of the senses and an exceptionally well inked floral, Libra tattoo that dances boldly across pale skin within flowing composition and with unmatched elegance. Thick, intense black lines decorate the Libra symbol with interlacing cross stitching, giving this sign an intricate yet well balanced feel. Central to the design are gorgeous indigo Foxglove flowers evenly injected with an array of purple shades, breathing life into delicate blooms. Enchanting in sheer beauty, Foxgloves are said to be a magnet for fairies and are symbolic of magic, energy and creativity. A perfect tattoo then, to embody both the floral sentiments of the Foxglove and and the magic of the Libra scales, bringing into balance the chaotic world that surrounds. Mesmerizing.

Evil Tips the Scales
Good and Evil face off in this great concept of Libra influenced design and symbolism. The Devil, weighing heavy with sin tips the scale on one side, seemingly eager to jump out and cause havoc, while an angel looks away on the other, weightless in her innocence and pure of heart in her quest to save the lost souls of the world. Clean lines and nice shading make this art work stand out in the crowd, and, while there could be a little more highlighting on the angel to better contrast light vs dark, overall this is a stellar tattoo that captures the balance between purity and immorality while showing off Libra in bold stylistic spirit.
