The next time anyone gripes, and moans and groans and asks WHY do we need to take classes in English or have spelling or anything else in this area in life because computers do everything for us now. First of all, computers are ONLY as intelligent as the person who programs it. Then, show them this tattoo. If I know most people under the age of 30, they ask, "well what's wrong with it?" That makes the point right there.

Since it's flipped I cant be sure. But I think it's "xie hua" (withered flower) "wei lian" (william in chinese). Did I read that wrongly? But pretty sure it isn't picnic table hahaha. The friend is just messing with her

I always figured this tattoo meant that you had a anchor in life and that you refused to let the storms of life sweep you away and make you sink. Not that you are an actual anchor.

If y'all had more sea experience, you'd know the anchor is supposed to keep a boat from being blown/pushed by waves onto reefs, rocks, out of protected spot. To where more likely to crash, be overwhelmed, be broken, lost, sunk. So anchor helps keep from sinking.

I'm more focused on the comment that say they hope "God puts a hedge of protection around you". Beyond the superstitious guff, why would you want a HEDGE as metaphorical protection? Surely you could've said shield or wall?

Here is the thing.. Yes anchors are designed to sink, but they are also designed to keep a boat anchored and safe from hitting rocks and such. It keeps a boat stable in stormy conditions. The problem with this tattoo is the he has the words "Refuse To Sink" which add a anchor to it and it makes it look idiotic. It would have been better if he had words like "refuse to give up" or "steady like and anchor".......Let than "sink" in ;)

Maybe put angel wings on the anchor. "Refuse to sink" Like semantics... you're suppose to sink but your wings just keeps you up! I don't what I'm talking about I hope somebody can understand. haha!

Haha just put the angel wings by the anchor and I guarantee someone in my church could figure out some inspiring image and find a quote and scripture passage to go along with it. Rather than turning it into a tattoo, they'd make a cute little image to add to their Pinterest board! Omg!

No, guys- "refuse" as in garbage. He's indicating that he has some trash which he's going to tie an anchor to and throw off the pier. You know- refuse to sink.

What's even worse is that I've seen several people just today with the same tattoo.

I don't think this one really counts. Being taken to literally, considering the possibilities.

I've seen tattoos with an anchor, a heart and a cross - meaning Christian virtues (?) Hope, Love and Faith. Maybe this is why people like anchors so much?
