About Marine Tattoos
Marine tattoos celebrate the ocean and everything beneath it — sharks, whales, octopuses, sea turtles and the waves themselves. Beautiful, dynamic imagery layered with meaning for anyone drawn to the deep.
- Symbolism: shark (strength), whale (wisdom), octopus (intelligence), turtle (longevity)
- Flow is the recurring theme — the best pieces capture water in motion
- Shines in Japanese-influenced compositions, plus color and B&G realism
- For lifelike creatures, seek a realism specialist with convincing texture and water
- Wraps and moves with the body — forearm, calf, thigh, back and sleeves
