Star Tattoo Designs - All You Need to Know About Getting a Star Tattoo

While star tattoo’s are a popular choice for the lower back, a shooting star also works wonderfully on the hip or shoulder. These tattoos can be incorporated into a combination of elements and variations, and the design itself may dictate the absolute best place on your body.   So spend some time looking over various starry designs and artwork to get an idea about what you want. Also, think about the meaning you want your star tattoo to convey.   

Star Variations 

At a fundamental level, you’ll need to choose the number of points you want your star design to have---particularly if the design only includes one, single star. Consider that there are implied meanings associated with the number of points on star design tattoos. Take the pentacle for example: it has five points and symbolizes the secret of life and spirituality in paganism. It can also represent the four elements and the spirit. Reversed pentacle, which is known as the pentagram, often has a negative meaning, so make sure you do your research before getting it.

Star Tattoo Combinations
