If you were to draw a straight horizontal line from Toronto’s city center to the nearest ocean you’d find that the Atlantic is about 953 kilometers / 592 miles away. Meanwhile, a straight line in the other direction puts you a depressing 4,100 km / 2,547 miles away from the Pacific. Regardless, a large number of Toronto residents hold saltwater and its wondrous creatures dear to their hearts, and want to get a tattoo to keep it all close until their next trip to the coast. The concern, is that there are no tattoo shops nor tattooists in the inland metropolis who understand the allure of the sea. Is there anywhere to get quality and meaningful ocean sea-life tattoos near you? Absolutely. Read ahead to find out why Adrenaline in downtown Toronto (get directions) is the best and only place to get your sea-life themed tattoo.

Ocean Sea Life Tattoo Ideas to Inspire Yours

Ocean Sea Life Tattoos Toronto - Realism Starfish

Recently completed by Adrenaline Toronto’s Johnny Day

Nautical themes (including sea life) are very common to the American Traditional style of tattooing. American Traditional ocean life tattoos almost always feature sharks and mermaids (not the sea life you were thinking of) and a mythical kraken every once in awhile. What we’ve found, however, is that most people searching for marine-life tattoo ideas either want something done in the Realism style of tattooing, or the New School animated style for their reef creatures. Above is an amazing representation of the Realism style done by Johnny Day. The starfish (technically a sea star) looks as if it’s actually suctioned to the client’s skin. Meanwhile, we have put together a collage of other tattoos that have been done at our downtown Toronto shop. Perhaps one or more will inspire your upcoming piece?
