Planet Symbol Tattoos
Grimes
In March 2017 Grimes got a series of mystical symbols hand-poked on her left palm by artist Grace Neutral, who captioned her photo “Spells for Elves.”
On her index finger is the alchemy symbol for the planet Jupiter (♃), which is associated with thinking and learning.
We have not been able to identify the other symbols, which may be custom designs. Magical sigils can be created by combining the letters into a unique design.
The lines at the center of her palm bear some resemblance to the letter E in the old Irish Ogham alphabet, but it doesn’t have the same bend at the bottom.
Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne’s days of itty-bitty tattoos are officially over. In October 2017 she tattooed a collection of astrological symbols so big that they take up her whole forearm. The symbols are:
- ♎ – the astrological symbol of Libra
- ? – the alchemy elemental symbol for air
- ♀ – the planetary symbol of Venus
Taken together all three symbols represent Avril’s September 27th birthday — Libra is her star sign, air is the element associated with Libra, and Venus is the ruling planet for Libra.
The Venus symbol is of course also used as a symbol for women, but that does not seem to be why Avril chose it.
The double chevrons « » are known as guillemets and are used as quotation marks in some languages. These symbols have also caught on in tattoo culture with the supposed meaning “create your own reality.” It is claimed to be a viking symbol, however there is no documentation of this usage. We believe that Avril is simply using them as quotes around the other symbols.
