Getting a shell tattoo is not just registering a delicate mark on the skin, it is also ensuring that different representations accompany you forever, as we are talking about a symbol with different meanings and shapes. And if you intend to adopt the shell as your next tattoo, how about knowing a little more about all its symbology, and still being inspired by 60 charming images?
shell tattoo meaning
A shell tattoo has several meanings: it represents intuition, sensitivity and imagination, as well as being a figure that reflects a passion for the sea and nature. In Aztec culture, a shell symbolizes the God of the moon and fertility, while for Buddhists, it is seen as one of the eight Auspicious Symbols, representing the voice of Buddha.
Already the tattoos that have a shell and its pearl carry an extra meaning: the figure refers to rebirth, resilience and success. But when the drawing has a closed shell, it means the person is reserved.
