Octopus Tattoo, aka squid tattoo is one of popular aquatic animals tattoos for both men and women. As a creature of the water, octopus possesses some of unique attributes which are meaningful to our humans.


Octopuses have almost entirely soft bodies with no internal skeleton, which make them vulnerable to their natural enemies. Octopuses adapt to survive in the aquatic habitat by squeezing through very narrow slits between underwater rocks.

Octopus has a relatively short life expectancy – as short as six months to 5 years. Their whole course of life is for reproduction of their species. Males can only live for a few months after mating, and females die shortly after their eggs hatch. Most of them die of starvation for taking care of their unhatched eggs.
