The octopus is a sea creature with four pairs of arms that are called tentacles. Because it has a total of eight arms, the sea dwelling creature was called the “octopus” because “oct” is Latin for “eight”. The octopus has no skeleton or shell, which means that it can squeeze through small spaces. It uses a variety of unusual defense techniques, such as squirting “ink” that clouds the water and allows the octopus to swim away undetected. Octopuses are also venomous and a bite from the beak-like mouth between its legs can be deadly to other sea creatures. As a totem tattoo, octopuses are mostly chosen by people who have a relationship with the sea or feel a connection with the symbolism of these eight-legged creatures.<\/strong><\/p>\n Find ideas and inspiration for octopus and tentacle tattoos in: Octopus Tattoo Design Ideas<\/a><\/p>\n
