White tattoos are perfect for those people who want to make a statement; who want to stand out from the crowd without being too loud. The greatest thing about white ink tattoos? They are perfect for both men and women; you can choose anything from tribal designs to cute dragonfly tattoos. There is something so pure about an all-white tattoo. The ying to the black tattoo’s yang.

White ink tattoos are fairly rare. Why? Well, it may be because they have a bad reputation. If done badly or unprofessionally, white tattoos can look like really bad scars. That is why before getting a white ink tattoo, you must choose a trained, professional tattoo artist. Nowadays, money is tight. But, in this case, do not look at the price. Look at the tattoo artist’s portfolio and choose the one who has mastered this particular form of art.

Anchors are usually associated with sea, ships and sailors. But, you know, if you think about it, anchors represent way more than that. Why are anchors made? They are made to put roots deep into sea, and keep the ship in place. Symbolically, an anchor can represent a person’s strength and stability, even when the times are tough and stormy.

This tattoo, at least in my opinion, has some pros and cons. I find quote tattoos very inspiring. Therefore, Harry Potter tattoo is inspiring and awesome and it will look amazing written in white ink. Now, the con is this very quote. There is a great number of amazing Harry Potter quotes. To me, this particular quote looks like something a person prone to self-harming would do.
