Zodiacs and tattoos

Tattoos have as many meanings as there are cultures in the world, all in different sizes, shapes, and colors. These meanings can range from religion, personal beliefs, love, and other emotions. A tattoo is a form of art that never goes away and it can say a lot about the person who bares it and how the person is portrayed to others. Since they are so permanent someone has to put an immense amount of thought into whether to get one or not and what to get.

In this picture there is a tattoo of what looks like some type of crustacean with some sort of symbol as the body. For someone who does not know about astrology and the zodiac calendar, the symbol in the tattoo is the zodiac symbol for cancer. It is said that people born between the days of June 20 through July 22 are supposed to possess the qualities of cancer. This could mean that the person who sports this tattoo was born when the cancer constellation was present.

One may also be unaware that the cancer constellation is of a crab which explains why the symbol is decorated to have a crab-like appearance. People who possess cancer’s qualities are said to be like the crab which means the person wearing this tattoo could appear tough on the outside but is actually soft emotionally on the inside, just like the invertebrate that has an exoskeleton. The person could be very emotional and often cut off this emotional side to others to avoid getting hurt.

The fact that this person sports the tattoo on the arm so that everyone can see could also mean that the person is proud to be a cancer. People who see the tattoo and are knowledgeable of its meaning could that the person is in touch with its emotional side and does not want to hide it from the world.
