Crab Tattoo Photo #17368

The crab's hard shell suggests self-defense and guarding what's vulnerable inside. Its sideways movement can symbolize indirect approaches or non-linear paths through life.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

Neck tattoos are among the most visible placements, making a confident statement. The area suits small, detailed designs behind the ear or bold pieces on the side or back of the neck.
