Did you know that seashells are often a sign of peace, safety, and beauty? What a beautiful beach souvenir! It means more than just how it looks. What about getting a shell tattoo? It could represent something important to you, and it would look great on your body. There are many beautiful shells to choose from, such as conch shells, oyster shells, mussel shells, and more. If you’re looking for ideas for your next tattoo, check out some of our favourite snail designs below.

Beautiful Conch Shell

The person who got this tattoo has an interesting story, and if the ocean is important to you, this is a great tattoo to look at. With parts of the ocean and the sun and a conch shell, this dreamlike underwater scene makes for a beautiful tattoo.

Shells in Silhouette

If you like feminine styles and want to accept them, this silhouette tattoo with shells on the breasts is perfect for you. This tattoo has all the elements of the ocean in a beautiful and one-of-a-kind way. It has a soft shape of a woman’s body with a shell bra and starfish.

Pearl Pop

If you eat oysters, they are said to make you more sexually interested, but we think their best use is as a tattoo like this one! If you put this tiny tattoo on your wrist, it looks so beautiful. It’s slightly open to show a pearl.

Beachy Shell

You’ll be glad to know that this is only a temporary tattoo if you’re not ready to commit to a long-term pattern. It’s a great way to try out ink before you buy it. This particular tattoo is part of a set that can be put on at home by Inked By Dani.

Pretty Shell

This little shell tattoo is so cute, and it wouldn’t matter if you like the beach or just want a cute, small tattoo. This shell tattoo has great colouring in black ink, and we love the empty space it gives us.

Shells of mermaids

Want a shell tattoo but don’t want it to draw too much attention to itself? Add the detail as part of a bigger image, like a mermaid. This beautiful picture shows the creature holding a spear and wearing a shell bra.

Summer Shell

It’s important to get the right size tattoo for you. In a bikini, this tiny seashell sits right above the hipbone and makes a peekaboo effect. Even though this design is simple, the shell’s beautiful colour and shape make it stand out.

The spiral shell

Getting a fine line tattoo is an art form in and of itself. The tattoo artist makes them with a single needle in the gun, which makes the picture very thin and detailed. This tattoo of a spiral shell is a great example of these fine details. It has a fun twisty shape and isn’t very tall, so what’s not to love?

Seashell with Shade

This shell tattoo is gorgeous, with great shading, lines, and attention to detail. We are adding it right away to our mood boards. To show how one ode to the ocean can go with other tattoos you may have, look at this one.

The Nautilus Shell

If you really care about sea creatures, why not add them to a shell design? We love how the creature itself is sticking out from the shell instead of just the shell. It gives the black ink tattoo some depth and would look great almost anywhere on the body.

Your Own Shell

Should you be looking for very simple tattoo ideas, we believe you will enjoy the beauty of this unique seashell. The shape of this shell tattoo is sweet and delicate, and it’s not very big or detailed.

Seashell Chest Piece

Want to put your next shell tattoo somewhere different? You might want to put your new art right in the middle. This seashell fits perfectly on the chest, and you can choose to show it off or hide it.
