Does an octopus tattoo have any special meaning?

This site, Tao of tattoos, says this:

“Octopus – This is an eight legged sea creature which is the subject of many myths and sea tales. The octopus can be depicted as fearful or as a passive almost feminine creature. As such it is more common for women than men to get tattooed with an octopus.”

Fundamentally, a tattoo is an expression of the person who has it. So a better question is, does an octopus tattoo have any special meaning to you?

When getting a tattoo try to consider something that you would be proud to show your future children, because it will be around that long. Also, tattoos with a lot of detail will tend to blue over time, so strong simple designs are best. Colors will also fade, so unless you plan to have it touched up, again keep to simple designs.

I’ve always been partial to Japanese tattooing.
