Right… so we are getting really close to the end of our program. In few days we are going to meet each other for the last time and summarize what we have learned by presenting us to very important people, which will honour us by their presence. But that’s not all. Reading the invitation for the closing workshop, I found one term, which was not known to me – career anchor. Since I’ve got head, fingers and google, I decided to dig a bit in that topic and it seems very interesting. Here is what I found…
So, The Anchor tattoo is a design that has been a fixture of modern western tattooing for the better part of two centuries, and has even more ancient symbolic roots going back several millennia. The anchor is a favorite of individuals who are associated with marine or naval careers, and is closely identified with sailors all over the world. Many young sailors got an anchor tattoo after their first crossing of the Atlantic.
The anchor symbol is often incorporated with other design elements and is a central nautical design theme of many military service tattoos, particularly those tattoos found among sailors, marines and naval aviators. Other common design elements found with anchors are sailing ships, mermaids and other nautical symbols.In ancient times the anchor, like the fish, was a symbol with ties to the early Christian church. An anchor tattoo can be thought of as holding one steadfast, like an anchor holding a great sailing ship safe in harbour, against winds and currents that might carry it astray.
