Shark Tattoo

What associations do you have when you mention the word “shark” or picture this sea creature? Surely it would be power, aggression, superiority and similar words. The image of the shark as a body image has been used for a long time, but its symbolism is multifaceted enough that no doubt you will be interested in it.

It is worth noting right away – there is an interpretation of the image of the shark in a positive and negative way. The main characteristics of the shark, as a sea predator, are its great strength, endurance, cunning and bloodthirstiness, that without any doubt gives it a clear advantage over other sea creatures. Such a tattoo is ideal for a man who has proven in practice to have similar moral and physical qualities.

If the persistence and power can be used for positive purposes, then the shark’s aggression and anger can represent the presence of similar vices in a man. Therefore, if you have an explosive character and an enviable persistence, a shark headband will be an excellent solution.

Often the shark tattoo is preferred by men, but the fairer sex can also use it successfully. Such a drawing will emphasize the independence of the lady and her predatory manners.

However, women are also interested in this symbol. Scientists say that sharks are great parents. In view of this, women wear a shark on their body (sometimes accompanied by their cubs), as a symbol of their special attitude towards motherhood and to emphasize their willingness to fiercely protect their child. Also the shark will very well emphasize the presence of a woman’s strong character.
