Here we will give you even more compelling reasons to get a tattoo, as well as unique design ideas that will express all the symbolism of this epic zodiac sign.

What do these tattoos mean?

It could be one of the most controversial signs of the zodiac. Because Cancer can go from one extreme to another: be very sociable, and then realize that he needs space, and move away from others in order to find inner stability - because he is very sensitive and he has a big heart. This makes them very empathetic people and sensitive to the situations that their loved ones go through. But the same sensitivity can jeopardize them and cause internal conflicts. All Cancers struggle with this characteristic, and therefore the animal that represents it is the crab.

Cancer is the symbol of Cancer due to their common characteristics accepted by those born under this sign. The crab changes its carapace, just like a Cancer can completely change when they need to and use their own carapace from time to time for protection. Usually Cancers are considered people with a great character, a great personality and an excellent outlook on the world. And they are clearly that, but inside they conceal a sea of ​​feelings.

Cancer would become the constellation of the sky representing this sign after being bitten by Hercules during the battle with Hydra (a friend of the little crustacean) and was crushed. They say that the goddess Hera, who was in conflict with Hercules, decided to send him to the firmament after his death in the form of a constellation, so that he would shine there forever. This is why the crab is the perfect symbol for this sign's tattoos because it perfectly represents the resistance, courage and self-confidence that every Cancer displays in their daily life.
