Wave tattoos originated from the culture of Islanders living in the Pacific Rim. For them, the ocean is sacred and can provide nutrients. Drawing a wave tattoo is a way to show their respect for the ocean.

At first, the wave tattoo was just a simple single line design. With the development of tattoo technology, the wave tattoo became complex and delicate, and quickly spread to other inland areas, becoming a very popular tattoo material.

Do you know the meaning of the wave tattoo? Waves are the representative of the ocean. Some people will use this kind of tattoo to show others that they come from a place near the sea, but more people like the implication it represents. The wave tattoo represents the free and unrestrained character. The unrestrained playing of the wave in the sea represents the free and unrestrained character and a positive attitude towards life.

The wave tattoo represents the spirit of brave struggle. When people set sail, even in the face of rough waves, they will strive to survive, so the wave tattoo also represents the spirit of brave struggle.
