Another great theme that can be used alone to develop a tattoo or in conjunction with other parts of a design is flames and fire. Fire is the element that rules the Leo sign and therefore is closely connected with it. There are a lot of really great tattoo designs that incorporate fire and flames and they look incredible. There are lots of bright colors and strong bold lines making a flame tattoo incredibly attractive. There is always the flames from the wrist extended up the arms but you can also choose to use flames behind the lion. It is up to you but flames always make for a great tattoo design.
