Anchor Tattoos and Their Meaning
When the anchor tattoo started to become popular, it was present only among sailors and people who spent a lot of time on the sea. These sea people tattooed anchors on their bodies because they were symbols that accompanied them throughout their journeys and brought them a sense of stability, of being tied to one place although traveling a lot. 
The most common meaning of the anchor is the one of stability and power, brought by its function of holding one vessel in one place.
People get anchor tattoos to show that they reached such a point of stability in their lives or maybe that they are searching for one that keeps them holding tight when times get rough. 
Also, some persons have an anchor tattooed on their body to remind them of someone they lost or dedicated to someone who represented a standing pillar in their lives. This reminder has the purpose of bringing strength and optimism in whichever situation.
Another deep meaning of the anchor is the one that shows a strong will and power when facing abuse and discrimination. The anchor symbol shows that the person bearing it has a mentality that protects him or her of any kind of abuse.
Of course that its relation to the sea comes always to mind when seeing an anchor, so the symbolism of the vast, deep, blue sea is associated with the anchor.
