The ocean has a calming effect on most people. That is, if you can get past the sharks and endless depths of darkness below that may or may not contain, well, who knows what. But for anyone who’s spent the night at a beachside cottage or simply taken a leisurely stroll in the sand and surf will tell you that the rhythmic pounding of the waves and occasional gull call gives the sea a majestic and undeniably romantic persona that’s as alluring as it is relaxing. Walking on the beach while collecting seashells is a memory most kids remember fondly. Seashells come in many different shapes and sizes and are all unique in their own special way. From watercolor conch shells to minimalistic scallops, seashell tattoos are wonderful way to decorate your skin. Here is a collection of seashell tattoos for your viewing pleasure.
