Anchor tattoos are a classic tattoo design originating back to the traditional tattoo era. Anchor tattoos were made popular by sailors and the like, often paired with saucy mermaid designs and other ocean-themed motifs. Anchor tattoos are still hugely popular in modern society, they make great small tattoos and can be done in a simplistic style. Anchor tattoos do not have to be detailed to look good, in fact some of the best anchor tattoos are black and grey line drawings with minimal detail and no shading necessary.
Anchor tattoos can also be elaborate, done in the style of traditional sailer tattoos and bursting with colour and life.
They have many meanings, to a sailor they are likely to symbolise stability and strength of foundation, both important qualities for surviving a life at sea. Members of the US Navy have been known to get anchor tattoos after crossing the Atlantic Ocean for the first time, a right of passage if you will. Anchor tattoos in modern times have come to symbolise hope and salvation, composure and steadfastness, just as an anchor holds a ship steadfast, an anchor tattoo can remind the wearer to be unwavering and firm when they need to be.
Anchor tattoos are a timeless classic, they don’t seem to go out of fashion and can be styled to look unique, modern or traditional. Before you decide what style of anchor tattoo is right for you.
