Marine tattoo — Photo 2 of 48

Sailor ink is one of the oldest continuous traditions in body art, stretching back centuries to a time when a mark on the skin was both a badge of experience and a quiet prayer for safe passage. Understanding this history turns a simple anchor or swallow into something with real weight.

Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
