Here is Otep's explanation of the meaning behind the tattoo:
Otep: "I got the octopus tattoo to commemorate the passing of my brother. He was in the Navy and the octopus represents the ocean to me and the eternal mystery of the sea. I was always very proud of Mikey for being in the Navy and I wanted something to memorialize his life that I can have with me all the time so tattoos helped with that. It was a couple years ago he died and we miss him everyday. We always try to send care packages to the soldiers. I do oppose the war in Iraq and I think it was a mistake, but I support the troops and they are doing an amazing job with what they are given."
