The astrological sign Cancer is the fourth astrological sign in the Zodiac and is derived the constellation of Cancer. The Cancer is a feminine, introverted water sign, ruled by the Moon. Individuals born roughly between the June 22nd and July 22nd are said to be born under the sign of Cancer. They are said to be tenacious, generous, emotional, moody, frugal homebodies. The sign of Cancer is associated with the crab and the Greek myth in which Hercules is given twelve tasks to complete in order to regain his honor. The main symbol for Cancer is a horizontal "69", showing the claws of the crab. It also represents the breasts, the area of the body ruled by Cancer.

Crab tattoos aren't very common unless the wearer is born under the sign of Cancer. Cancer tattoos often incorporate the crab and other water elements, like water, waves, seaweed.
