Description If I ever got a tattoo..I think I'd want an octopus on my arm..I dunno..I like octopus.....I was gonna give him a skull face..but then i remembered that cronobreaker had already done that idea....so what we have here is just a plain ole octopus..nothin special.......

Anybody have a tattoo that would like to share their stories?.....

This is a great design, I really like it. Β And honestly, if you are going to make it into a tattoo, if you want it to have a skull, give it a skull.

I'm getting my first tattoo done in a couple of weeks. Would it be cool if I had this done? Thought it best to ask permission first. And I don't care how many people already have it, the chances of running into them are very low, and even if I did that'd be the coolest thing ever.

I'm somewhat of a cephalopodiac, and I have seen hundreds if not thousands of pictures, drawings, stencils, tattoo designs, stencils, etc. of all sorts of octopi and squid, and yet this is the image that continues to plague my thoughts! I cannot shake it's simplicity, balance, and beauty. It was worthy of me leaving a comment. So, well done GrimCinder! You've made a picture worthy of my praise.

I had my friend draw this on me a while ago with Sharpies. I really liked how it looked.

I'm a huge fan of sea creatures, so I'm totally considering actually getting this as a tattoo.

I love Octopuses, they just have some kind of charm and grace.
I think I would want a tiny one for a pet, but I heard they like to escape their tanks. Lol.

Eels <3
They can be so ugly and nasty looking but at the same time I just keep thinking they're like little dragons or sea serpents.

They have one in a pet shop where I live but I don't have the $400 to shell out for the little guy. Plus I'd have to spend more on food and a tank etc etc .

if yes, I would credit you to anyone who asks who designed it.

I have been searching for an octopus kinda tattoo for a long time...
I have a crab tattoo and I just love sea life...
I would love to get this as a tattoo...but I want to get your approval first...and you are the artist so would you be against me getting such a tattoo...I would prolly mod it slightly so it matched my crab tattoo have the tattoo artist do more of a shading kinda deal instead of the solid black...
But im not even positive if I would get this one...but would you let me use your artwork?
Its a great drawing!

Yes you can get this one tattooed. In fact someone already got it tattooed. All I ask is that you send me a picture of it when it's done! I appreciate you asking permission!
