Thousands of years ago, the Babylonians saw the Pisces constellation as a pair of fish joined by a simple cord. The constellation is often associated with the roman myth of Venus and Cupid, who transformed into fish to escape the rage of Typhon.
At heart, Pisces is a water sign concerned with subtle truth, mystery, and secrets. Full of imagination and emotional sensitivity, Pisces often feel that they are never truly at home.
Pisces tattoos often consist of two fish swimming in opposite directions of each other, which represents the dual nature of those born under this conflicting sign. For even deeper meaning, the wearer often chooses the type of fish that best represent their personality: classic koi show perseverance in the face of difficulty, while rainbow trout represent love.
