The Meaning of the Anchor Tattoo
The anchor tattoo and it's meaning are another icon of the old school “Sailor Jerry” tattoo hype and stand for stability, security, the sea, safety, and strong foundation. Of course the meaning of the old school anchor tattoo is also related to the Navy, sailors, or people who work on ships.
However, you don't have to be a sailor to get an anchor tattoo! Originally, sailors who crossed the Atlantic for the first time got an anchor tattooed on their forearm, however, this iconic old school tattoo design is no longer preserved just for men (or sailors).
Many women and girls decide for the anchor tattoo due to it's meaning and fashionable look.
