THE SYMBOLISM OF HOLD FAST TATTOOS:

In the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, for sailors who crossed storms on seas and oceans, the expression “Hold Fast” had a notion of life or death.

On deck and in the midst of storms, when their ship was languishing in the waves, the strength to hold tightly to the helm was decisive for their lives: to weather the storm and survive or end up at the bottom of the ocean.

“Fast” was also the expression used by sailors to name a tight rope.

As a result, the words HOLD FAST are usually tattooed on the joints of the fingers, in order to remember that, whatever the trials to face, you have to hang on to survive!
