Libra = 天秤座

天= Heaven

秤= Weigher

座= Seat

I'm pretty sure thats how you wright Libra

天秤 by itself just means balance (scales used for weighing).

EDICT gives 天秤宮 for the sign of the Zodiac, but 天秤座 for the constellation. I don't know whether this distinction is actually observed in ordinary use of the language, or even whether it is accurate.

The 宮 of 天秤宮 is pronounced "kyuu," and means a Shinto shrine, a palace, or (confusingly, if the distinction above is accurate) a constellation.

I'll see what I can find out in other dictionaries.

O_O I'm glad I don't have any tattoos. I saw a segment on the TV show "How it's Made" and all those needles made me cringe. But then again I fainted once when my blood was drawn. I guess tattoos are not for some people.
