Style experiment
Ignorant anchor tattoo
The original sailor tattoo: stability whatever the storm. Traditional anchors with rope and banner remain flash-sheet royalty a century on. In Ignorant, that reads as: deliberately badly good.

Anti-style: shaky lines, deadpan stick figures, one-liner jokes in ink. Ignorant style grew from Parisian graffiti and refuses polish on purpose — the charm is the attitude. Simple to execute, painful to fake; the humour has to land.
A anchor carries stability, loyalty, safe harbour — and Ignorant's anti-polish give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the forearm, ankle, wrist.
Same idea, other voices
