There are 19 Mayan zodiac symbols to choose from, all of which represent different dates of birth. These 19 symbols represent different personality types, attitudes, and desires. It is important that your zodiac tattoo represents your true date of birth, otherwise the tattoo will have no meaning for you. If you are getting one or more tattoos to represent family members, such as your children, exceptions can be made as tribute tattoos are always welcome!
