Shell tattoo

Shell tattoo

A symbol of good travel, but also good luck (hidden otherwise it's not funny), seashells have always been used for adornment, adornment and offerings such as treasures.

Associated with the concept of femininity and fertility, it was a universal attribute of the Goddess of Love or even the Moon God in ancient Mexico.

Their mysterious side stems from the fact that they remained inaccessible for a long time, unless the sea put them on our feet on the sand of the beach, or from the fact that we cannot look inside without breaking it into thousands of pieces.

It is true that they are beautiful, however, they are impressive with their pearlescent reflections and the perfect spiral for the species in question.

A reminder of an unforgettable vacation, the first seashell picked up on the beach when you first saw the sea, or a tattoo that will forever be remembered for your grandmother's favorite brooch, shell tattoos of all shapes and sizes. All styles proliferate and there are many reasons to choose this motif for your next tattoo.

In vibrant colors, such as a watercolor tattoo, or thin blacks and thin lines, they come in all shapes and sizes.

Their natural tendency to be on the ground means that these tattoos are more common on the feet or legs than on the shoulders or behind the ear.

If these few lines have made you rethink your last vacation powerfully and nostalgically, it might be time to flip through our list of studios to find an artist to prick you a small (or smaller, relatively small) seashell before your next vacation ... or time, also discover our rib tattoo artists!
