Anchor

Anchor Tattoo Designs in Ahmedabad

An anchor tattoo means stability, and specifically the person or principle that keeps someone steady. It began as a sailor’s mark for safe return, and that sense of having somewhere to hold fast to is still what clients choose it for.

It is a strong shape to tattoo because it is instantly readable at any size and it has natural symmetry through the shank. That symmetry does need respecting though: the two flukes have to mirror each other cleanly, and the stock has to sit perpendicular, or the anchor reads as tilted even when it is upright. Our artists set those axes first for exactly that reason.

Popular Anchor Tattoo Designs

Anchors wrapped in rope or chain, anchors with a banner and a name, and anchors combined with a compass or a rose are the most requested. Bold versions belong to traditional and neo-traditional work, minimal ones to fine line and small tattoo work. Related tags: travel, strength.

Best Placement for an Anchor Tattoo

The vertical form suits the inner forearm, the wrist, the ankle, the ribs and the back of the arm.
