If you are thinking about getting a sea turtle tattoo and want to know its meaning, then read on.

Turtles are really unique in the sense that they can retreat into their shell at the smallest sign of dnager, and it is this very trait that has made it a powerful symbol of protection, healing and inner knowledge.

The Turtle is also brave, as it only makes progress when it sticks its neck out, and it moves forward with a patient and steady flow to achieve what it wants.

If you feel like you have these traits and you can identify with the spirit of the turtle, then sea turtle tattoos are for you.
