Star Tattoo Ideas - Choose A Design With Significance

There are many ways in which we can express ourselves and our individuality, but surely one of the most lasting ways is through tattoos. Among the most celebrated and common designs worn by countless people around the world is the star tattoo.Some people find the star design somewhat dull and boring but to others, particularly those who are star gazers or who are fascinated with the stars, this design captures their inner self and purpose. If you are contemplating having a star tattoo but are in need of suggestions on how to come up with a few personalized star tattoo ideas then read on...Different Kinds Of StarsWhen most people are asked to draw the shape of a star what immediately comes to mind is the five pointed star, which is the one most of us learned to draw when we were children. The five sided star, known as a pentagram, is one of the most powerful yet misconceived symbolic representations of our modern times, although the shape has been around for thousands of years. It is a popular belief today that a pentagram star tattoo wearer is somehow connected to Satanism, but this belief is not entirely correct. It is a known fact that there are indeed some Satanists who do favor the pentagram star design but they usually show the pentagram upside down (where the single point is downwards). By wearing this pentagram star design upside down it is meant to symbolize the elements rule over spirit, hence the satanic implications.

On the other hand, there are a lot of different kinds of stars designs other than the pentagram that we can use or consider for star tattoo ideas. You may wish to look at the possible designs that could be combined with the four pointed star that also serves as the cross shaped star. This shape offers a simplistic and elegant option.Another one of the star tattoo ideas that a lot of people consider is the pentacle shape which has traditionally been a representative of the art of witchcraft and the 'dark side'. Notwithstanding the traditional connection with witchcraft the pentacle star tattoo idea is becoming more and more popular as a tattoo choice for many people, even those who do not favor or support witchcraft.If you are a religious person, you may wish to consider the six pointed star which as we all know is meant to symbolize the Star of David. This shape is also known to represent the pagan God called, Remphan. Then there is the seven pointed star which is said to symbolize your childhood, the whimsical or is considered by some to be a fairy star.Apart from the 4, 5, 6 and 7 sided star shapes you may choose to have your star design tattoo incorporate the eight pointed star which is known as the cross of St. John. The eight pointed star is also known to symbolize the emblem of Knights of Malta, which historically was one of the most popular religious organizations that existed during the time of the religious crusades in the middle east.If you have decided that a star tattoo design is "the one for you" then make sure you consider the traditional symbolic meanings and carefully choose a design that will best represent you and your thoughts and beliefs.

The Star tattoo design is a favorite of Rock stars, celebrities and tattoo enthusiasts of the traditional tattoo designs.There are many different types of star designs that people get tattooed on their bodies. Each star has a name and a meaning and they are all different. Some represent different things to different people. The Pentagram is a five pointed star that represents protection and balance. It also represents the five elements water, earth, air, fire and spirit which take's it proper place at the top to create a prefect balance.The Inverted Pentagram is a symbol that represents evil and this is because it is the very opposite meaning of the pentagram. People who worship Satan use this symbol although the Pentagram or pentacle has been misunderstood and associated with devil worship. This is mainly because most people don't realize or understand the difference between a Pentagram and a Inverted Pentagram.The Hexagram or Star of David is a six pointed star that is a potent symbol that represents the interaction of the Divine with the mortal and God with mankind.

The Septagram or the seven pointed star is a representation of integration and the mystical because it is linked to the number seven. In classic astrology it is associated with the seven planets and it is also associated with other systems of the seven fold like the chakras of the Hindu.The Octagram or the eight pointed star represents fullness and regeneration. It is associated with the number eight and systems of eight like the trigrams of the I Ching, the Ogdoad of ancient Egypt and the Wheel of the Year that is pagan.The Nonagram or nine pointed star represents achievement and stability but this stability can change so it is not so stable. It is associated with the number nine and the systems of nine like the Taoist and this is very similar to the Chakras of the Hindu.A plain Star is associated with truth, hope and the spirit. A plain star is also associated with faith and a light to guide you through the darkness. The Nautical Star is the representation of guidance. Sailors use to get them tattooed on them selves for protection and guidance when they went out to sea. Some people think that it represents love and it is a star for remembrance. While other people get it because it gives them guidance through life. Sailors use to use the stars at night to guide them on their course when they were out at sea. A Nautical Star also stands for safe passage. The Nautical Star has become really popular among the punks to symbolize anarchy. This symbol seems to have many different meaning and also it represent many different things to people in today's society. One thing for sure is that it is a popular tattoo design among the younger generation.The Shooting Star represents good luck and success but it also can represent burn out like a person being really lucky or successful for a while but it doesn't seem to last very long.These are really popular tattoo designs and people get them for many different reasons because it may mean one thing to one person but it may mean something else to another person.

This is essential to your health and well-being. Mostly importantly, if this will be your first time getting a tattoo, always remember that you are in control, not the tattoo artist.

You have the shooting star design, the religious star designs, such as the Star of David, single stars, nautical stars, and many more star tattoo designs to choose from.
