43 Anchor Tattoos for Men

Over time, the deep meaning of the anchor has not changed much. From sailors and seafarers to today’s ordinary people who have never set foot on a boat. The anchor has always been a sign of strength and stability.

When out on the majestic blue sea, anchors are perhaps the safest place in a sailor’s life. They are protection from rough seas and terrible storms. No matter how rough the weather, the anchor will fight to keep them grounded.

The same principle applies today, even beyond the seas. You may have seen some men with this design and a name nearby. Often, it was the name of a parent or some other individual in their life that literally made them stand their ground. Usually people think of their parents and grandparents too!

However, regardless of whether you are a sailor or a landlubber, one thing is certain: The anchor represents something or someone that keeps you steady on your journey through life.

I put together this collection to show you how the design can be modified while still creating the same impression. You’ll find old school traditional designs to more modern and abstract ideas in this collection of 43 anchor tattoos for men.
