These creatures drift through the ocean without a brain, heart, or bones, yet they have survived for hundreds of millions of years - and that quiet resilience gives the image a meaning that goes deeper than its delicate appearance. Jellyfish tattoo meaning and symbolism Jellyfish are often associated with flow, adaptability, and going with the current rather than fighting it.

Using only black ink at different dilutions, this style achieves a photographic quality with rich shadows and soft highlights. Black and grey work is versatile enough for portraits, nature scenes, and symbolic imagery.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
