If you need some ideas for your upcoming tattoos, you will enjoy Kraken’s designs! This creature is a well-known mythology monster, and you may enjoy some of our Kraken art ideas!

What Is The Difference Between An Octopus And A Kraken?

A Kraken is actually an od mythology creature that we’ve read about in the books. Octopus is cephalopod, like squid and cuttlefish. Kraken is often presented as a scary and mystical creature, while the Octopus isn’t as dangerous.

What Does An Octopus Tattoo Symbolize?

Kraken was characterized as a large creature (could grow up to 15 meters in length). Therefore its symbol represents growth, long life, as well as importance & fear. 

However, an octopus stands for flexibility, intelligence, as well as unpredictability.

Based on your intentions and your preference, get the design that suits you, and go for the creature that speaks to you louder.
