Anchor Tattoo

Im never on here anymore but my instagram is ashfer89. Its a bit insane how far this tat has gone across the internet.




Why get it ? What inspired me ?

Well ...

"While the earliest forms of an anchor being used as a symbol harkens all the way back to the early Christians. They would often use the anchor as a HIDDEN SYMBOL for the Cross. This was often used to show that they were Christian while escaping persecution from the Romans. "

"The anchor was an early Christian symbol commonly found in the Roman catacombs as a symbol of the HOPE we have in Christ beyond this life, "

"In general, though, it guarantees stability and security in the physical world and by extension also steadfastness, hope, and trust in the spiritual world."

So when i first saw it i liked it then thought to do research on it and this is what came up which gave it meaning to me on a personal level. So to summarize the anchor to me means: "Hope, Hidden Symbol of the Cross, and to stay connected, and its Pin Up which i adore"
