The human mind has been completely fascinated with the stars up in the sky. They have mystified and inspired people and attracted them. The stars show us that there is a whole world out there, full of mystery and promise. It is a whole wide universe out there so much larger and so mysterous that it simply sparks the imagination. Since men and women both appreciate stars, it is really quite unsurprising that stars enjoy a universal popularity as a symbol for both men and women.


Body art in the form of tattoos are universally popular and a popular choice of design is the star tattoo. Symbolically the star tattoo is said to represent a change of importance in the life of the person getting it done. It can also represent a high point in your life, or a desire to achieve something big. It can represent a goal to be achieved or one that has been achieved with great effort. Women get a star tattooed on the ankle, shoulder, lower back, clavicle, wrist, hips. Men normally get the star tattooed on their side, shoulder back, upper arm and wrist.

The star tattoo has a strong history going back to sailors who would get nautical stars tattooed as a symbolism of guidance; leading them through battle and guiding them safely back. Since then this strong star symbolism has been adapted by the punk movement, mixed martial arts fighters, and has continued to be worn by military men and women. But it also has been adapted by everyday individuals seeking their own personal symbolism of strength and guidance.


There are many different star tattoo designs to choose from. There’s not only the classic nautical star, but other new designs available as well as variations on the nautical star design. It’s a great idea to visit a tattoo shop, or an online tattoo gallery, to view both classic designs, and the latest star tattoo designs so that you’re ensured you find the best for you.
