Traditional Anchor Tattoos
A long time ago, anchor tattoos were found on those who worked at sea. At sea, it is the most secure object in a sailor’s life. It represents stability that is why you’ll often see people with anchor tattoos with the word “Mum” emblazoned on them. It can also have the name of the person that keeps them grounded.
The anchor tattoo has gained a bit of popularity and is no longer just associated with seafarers. In the Christian world, it is a symbol of strength and stability. In the past, it was believed that the anchor was used to camouflage the symbol of the Holy Cross. This was done to avoid being persecuted but at the same time, allow people to display their faith.
Anchor tattoos remind the wearers of hope in the midst of storm and rough situations. Sometimes it can be dedicated to someone important in the wearer’s life.
Just had my very first tattoo done by Ben and couldn't be more pleased. From the very first email to the shop they were supportive and very accommodating. I was so nervous but Ben made me feel at ease and I got the exact tattoo that I wanted. Such an enjoyable day. I'll be booking Ben again for the next ink I want done

Had a 7 hour Japanese piece done with Davide De Cinto. Service was great, Davide's work was fanastic and I feel the price was really good value for money in terms of the quality of work Davide is putting out. Highly recommended.
