Marine tattoo — Photo 10 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.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
