The seahorse is a type of fish with a face that vaguely resembles the face of a horse. With its curly tail, delicate features and horse-like face, this fantastic creature is a favorite among girls and woman as a tattoo design.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The seahorse is an unusual creature in that it seems to belong on another planet, instead of in the seas of Earth. When the sea horse was first discovered by early scientists, it earned itself the name Hippocampus. In Ancient Greek,\u00a0hippos<\/em> means\u00a0horse<\/em> and\u00a0kampos<\/em> means\u00a0sea monster<\/em>. This little horsey sea monster has intrigued and delighted biologists and nature enthusiasts for centuries, and has been celebrated in art in paintings and sculpture and as decoration for household objects such as vases and crockery. Seahorse designs aren’t just nice to look at, they also have a deeper meaning, which means that they have a place in body art as symbolic tattoos.<\/p>\nToo Cute to be True: Seahorse Tattoos<\/h1>\n
