Tattooing is an art form that predates textually written history, with the earliest example dating as far back as 3400 BCE. It has been woven into numerous forms of religions, cultures, and events. Not surprisingly, tattooing is heavily prevalent in the witchcraft community as a way for practitioners to connect with their craft and identify their beliefs. With the rise of cultural classics such as American Horror Story: Coven, The Chilling Tales of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Shadow Hunters, witchcraft has begun to emerge from the shadows and claim it’s rightful place in the limelight of modern society. Of course, with this rejuvenation of public fascination and adoption of the craft, witchy tattoos are becoming the new norm for both witches and the witch-obsessed.
But what do some of these most popular tattoos mean? Let’s take a quick look at the top 10 Witchy Tattoo Motifs of 2020 and break down the meanings behind these spellbinding tattoo designs!

Fan of the dilly-dally? Our relationship game is on the starting block for this Total Solar Eclipse in Aries. It’s up to you to surrender to your true love nature to heal a sense of identity OR keep the mask on until the next eclipse season. Let the Nesters unite! You’re not alone, as our collective psyche as a species is going to have this axis eclipsed. Think war & peace, sport & rest, Mars & Venus, Aries & Libra.
What’s under review for this total solar eclipse? The potential balance of our true cardinal fire nature (Aries) coupled with our diplomatic and conditioned peace-at-all-costs (Libra) is up for an overhaul review (oh, is that all…). Why is it more pronounced for us this time around? Because the North Node of the Moon s currently transiting Aries and the collective has Pluto’s ingress to Aquarius supporting evolution at this time: freedom to be. Can’t put it any simpler!
