Turtle tattoos have gained popularity ever since the hit Disney movie Finding Nemo introduced the adorable Crush (green Sea turtle). These designs might have hit a peak in recent years but if you look back into tribal tattoo history you will find that turtle tattoo designs were among the most popular designs.

Sea turtles play a vital role not only in the sea world but on land too. First of all, let me clear you a big fact – Turtles and Tortoise look alike and belong to the same family of Anapsida. But there is a key difference between the two species. Turtles can live on both lands and swim in the ocean whereas a Tortoise is lazy and lives on land. A Tortoise will drown in water if put in. Always remember this.
