Crab Tattoo Photo #17369

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.

With thick black outlines and flat, saturated colors, traditional tattoos are built to last. The straightforward approach prioritizes readability and impact, making these designs recognizable from a distance.

Forearm tattoos benefit from a natural canvas that follows the arm's long shape. Designs can wrap around the arm or sit on the inner or outer surface, giving flexibility in how the tattoo is displayed.
