Aries is the first of the twelve signs of the zodiac, corresponding to the constellation Aries, and is depicted as a ram.
The glyph for Aries looks like the letter “V” with curled down ends, representing a ram’s horns (though some ancient traditions claim it is human eyebrows and a nose).
Aries tattoos can be of the image, glyph, or combination of both.
