Octopi are known for their long tentacles and sticky suction cups and these artistic tentacles take inspiration from their odd appendages. Along with squids, octopi are one of the strangest and most mysterious sea creatures of the ocean. Some people are creeped out by all of those legs, while others embrace the interesting creatures. Tentacle art can be seen everywhere from art sculptures to little kid's toys.
Fashion has payed tribute to tentacled creatures, with designers creating jewelry and clothes that are inspired by octopi. Fashion magazines use live octopi in photoshoots to make for a very unique photo spread. It is amazing how one creature can influence so many different tentacle-inspired pieces of art.
