The Beginner's Guide To American Traditional Snail Tattoos

American traditional snail tattoos have a long and storied history. This style of tattoo dates back to the 1800s, when sailors and other seafarers would get tattoos to commemorate their travels. These tattoos often featured images of ships, anchors, and other nautical symbols. While they were originally used to mark a sailor's journey, they eventually became popular among civilians as well. Snail tattoos in particular were used to represent slow but steady progress, which was a popular motif among seafarers who often had to endure long and arduous journeys.
