21 Creative Leo Tattoo Ideas That Have Big Fire-Sign Energy

Leo Fire Tattoos

Sophie Turner’s finger flame tattoo

Sophie Turner—a Pisces, for the record—may have gotten her linear ink in honor of her role as Jean Grey/Phoenix in the X-Men franchise, but it’s solid inspo for any fire sign to consider.

Dua Lipa’s shaded flame tattoo

Singer Dua Lipa—whose August 22 birthday just barely makes the Leo cut—has several hand tattoos, including a filled-in flame at the tip of her index finger.

Torch Tattoo

A torch holds double meaning for Leos: Not only does it represent their fire-sign status, but it signifies their place as the leader of the pack too.

Leo Sun and Sunflower Tattoos

Sun tattoo

When your ruling planet is the sun, why not really go for it? We love how this design by Bang Bang Tattoo artist Michelle Santana places the sun front and center while also subtly incorporating the moon. 

Vanessa Hudgens’s sideboob sunflower tattoo

The floral design is eye-catching—and sunflowers are typically considered to be another symbol for Leos—but let’s call a spade a spade: The location of Vanessa Hudgens’s ink is what makes this straight fire.

Dakota Johnson’s artistic sunflower tattoo

Dakota Johnson may be a Libra, but her fragile sunflower design—which was inspired by the work of artist Egon Schiele—is worth bookmarking.

Sun and sunflower tattoo

Two for one! We can imagine it’s hard not to smile when you have both the sun and a sunflower inked on your arm. This design was created by Bang Bang artist Michelle Santana. 

Zodiac sun tattoo

Another Leo tattoo idea, courtesy of Santana. If you’re intimately familiar with your birth chart, consider this sun design that resembles the astrological chart, including every sign of the zodiac.

Small Leo Tattoos

Courage script tattoo

There are endless options when it comes to script tattoos, but courage is one of the Leo sign’s trademark traits. Loyalty, passion, and even love would be just as fitting as a small Leo tattoo.

Crown tattoo

As you know, Leos are natural-born leaders. Wear the crown proudly à la Zoë Kravitz (who’s actually fellow fire sign Sagittarius).

Lucy Hale’s lightbulb tattoo

For a cool alternative to a flame tattoo, a vintage-inspired bulb like Lucy Hale’s can be pretty, well, lit. Or can we interest you in her simple sun tattoo instead?

Florence Welch’s lightning bolt tattoo

The lightning bolt may not be an official symbol for Leos, but it manages to capture the sign’s energetic spirit—even in a barely there size.
