When I was researching my turtle tattoo idea I found that it represented courage and self-protection. Turtles can protect themselves with their shell, and they carry their home on their back. They only progress in life when they stick their neck out of their shell, are patient with themselves. On a more personal note the shell was symbolical of home, and reminding myself that no matter where I am physically, I can always protect myself, and that home is never too far away.
