Star Tattoo Designs

Star tattoo designs are another type of tattoo design that is popular with both men and women. Women usually go for star tattoo designs such as small twinkling stars, while men go for designs that have a masculine connotation, an example of which is the nautical stars design.

Among the reasons that people get star tattoo designs is that the star serves as a reminder of a goal that the person wearing the tattoo wants to reach.. It serves as an encouragement for the person to not give up. A star may also symbolize a change that the person has undergone. Some of these changes may be when a person changes his or her ways, joins another religion, or gets married among others.

Another reason for star tattoo designs may be the person’s great interest in or fascination with stars. It can also be simply that the person finds stars beautiful and that the stars would look good on their bodies.

If you’re thinking of getting star tattoo designs, the following are some of the designs you may want to consider:

Pentagram. This five-point star design can stand for different things. The four points can pertain to the four elements, namely the earth, water, wind and fire. The point at the very top stands for the spirit of these elements. Although these types of star tattoo designs are also associated with the occult or witchcraft, it doesn’t have to have such a dark meaning for you. You can have your pentagram tattoo designed in a way that would represent you.

Hexagram or the Star of David. These star tattoo designs are especially significant for followers of Judaism. However, this star can also have the more general meaning of an interconnection between humans and the Divine.

Shooting stars. These types of star tattoo designs can signify a short event or occurrence in a person’s life, which made a great impact. This can be short job stint, a brief romance, or a person who stayed in a person’s life for a short time. Although these events and experiences have been short, they would have been a great learning and life-changing experience for the person.

Nautical stars. Nautical star tattoo designs go a long way back when ancient sailors used the tattoos to guide them in their voyages, and to ensure that they find their way home. In the absence of compasses, they placed the nautical tattoos on a part of their body that was aligned to the northern star. Today, the nautical stars have carried on their meaning. However, instead of helping sailors literally find their way, people who have nautical star tattoo designs usually see these stars as guides so that they may trek the right path in life.

Star tattoo designs come in various sizes, colors and designs. Customize your star tattoo designs to best suit your purpose, and enjoy the light it brings into your life!
