The meaning of the tattoo jellyfish

Tattoo with a jellyfish is a very complicated decoration, which will choose for themselves not everyone. In nature, this sea inhabitant looks very cute, especially when you see the features of its movement in the water and appearance. However, many species are potentially dangerous.

The symbolism of the jellyfish can be described as follows:

  • Its outward calm and apparent serenity may be the essence of a person, or it may be just a mask;
  • Almost all jellyfish are transparent – this could describe both the harmony of man with the outside world and the desire to disguise, to hide, to escape from the attention of society;
  • There is no denying that jellyfish by nature and appearance are unique – this can be fully consistent with the character and appearance of the person.

Such an interpretation can quite confidently choose a man, hinting at the presence of some danger with external attractiveness.

Sometimes the fairer sex correlate themselves with the myth of the Gorgon, who became a victim of Poseidon’s lust and undeserved punishment from Athena.

Where to get a tattoo of a jellyfish?

If you want to put a spectacular image of a jellyfish on your body, we advise you to choose large-scale works. The canvas for tattooing in this case can be the side of the torso, the back or the chest. And on a woman’s body such a drawing looks especially spectacular on the thigh.

Not always a large drawing is a sign of good taste. Sometimes a minimalist or linear tattoo on the wrist, forearm, shin or shoulder is appropriate.
