#ThalyTalks | My First Tattoo & its Meaning

I got my first tattoo on July 30th of these current year, and I'm not gonna lie
it hurt a bit.. and I felt tickles. LOTS AND LOTS of tickles
     

So, many of my friends have asked me why I got this design in particular?
and it doesn't make me feel better when I'm like 'Oh yeah, this and that' cause
there's a whole meaning behind it and sometimes I wish they knew.

So, the So-Asked-Quetion is; Why I got an anchor? First of all I gotta say
-without getting too personal- that my life had highs and lows and below
sea level lows, like any other human being. People have problems and people
get sad, its a normal thing. You just need to learn how to affront things and keep
on moving. It's never to late to star over, trust me. Plus I'm obsessed over anchors.
TEEHEE ♥

So between this and that I googled a bit about anchor tattoos and to tell you the
truth I didn't feel fascinated by the meaning people give, but you know every-
body has their own personal meaning to it.

Anchor Meaning :
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 Greeks. The anchor tattoo design has become a symbol for 
stability and a strong foundation.

If you are looking for something to remind you to stay grounded or want to 
symbolism a particularly stable or grounding relationship that you have then an 
anchor tattoo design might be something to look into.

Anchor Tattoo Meaning at-a-glance:
• Hope • Safety • Fidelity • Stability • Security • Salvation • Good Luck 
What it means to me is more than just a word is the combination of all of it, It's 
Keeping my feet to the ground ALWAYS, Being down the earth, Being REAL, 
Being me. Also every time I look at it it reminds me to Never stop dreaming a 
little bigger, Work harder and Enjoy what I've accomplished.
