Traditional Crab Tattoos
The crab, like a lot of traditional tattoos, has obvious connections to the ocean and can be chosen as a symbol of living near the coast or a life spent tied to the water.
Its meaning can change slightly depending on the culture in question. In China, the crab is a symbol of male virility as well as good luck. There are also obvious ties to its zodiac sign of Cancer.
People born as Cancerians are known to be compassionate, loyal and emotional. It is also a "water" sign which further strengthens its ties to the ocean. With the hard exterior shell and sharp pincers, it can also be seen as a fighter and as a symbol of protection.
Just had my very first tattoo done by Ben and couldn't be more pleased. From the very first email to the shop they were supportive and very accommodating. I was so nervous but Ben made me feel at ease and I got the exact tattoo that I wanted. Such an enjoyable day. I'll be booking Ben again for the next ink I want done

Had a 7 hour Japanese piece done with Davide De Cinto. Service was great, Davide's work was fanastic and I feel the price was really good value for money in terms of the quality of work Davide is putting out. Highly recommended.
