subject: Why Star Tattoo Designs Are So Popular? [print this page] Many people are looking at a Star Tattoo Design when they consider getting a Tattoo. It probably is the fascination humankind has had with the Stars since the beginning of time that drives the desire for this design.
Whether it is fulfilling a wish or your daily horoscope based on your star sign, stars are filled with symbolic meaning, religious beliefs and myths. Over thousands of years people have developed many different ways of thinking about stars and what they mean.
Besides the symbolism of stars they also are very versatile. There are hundreds of diverse ways of depicting a star, whether it is a simple design or an intricate and complicated masterpiece.
With each of its 5 points half filled with one color and the other half filled with another color the nautical star is the most manly Star Tattoo Design. Colors are typically black and white or black and red.
In recent times the nautical star has won the support of the homosexual communities, using the star tattooed on their wrists as a sign of their sexual orientation. We wonder if it is a coincidence that many celebrities carry a star tattoo on their wrists?
Thanks to the Nazis the Jewish Star or David's star is now probably the world's most famous or infamous star design. The Nazis forced the Jews to stitch a David's star to their clothes, visible for everyone, so they can easily be identified as Jews. While during Nazi Germany it was meant as symbol of inferiority, many young Jewish people now carry a David's star tattoo like a sign of solidarity and honor.
The pentagram design is by far the oldest and most meaningful star design. Over the history of mankind many different meanings have been associated with the pentagram. Whether it is protection against evil or mathematical perfection you can probably find a meaning that fits with what you want to express with your tattoo.
Tribal Star designs often include depictions of the moon as well as stars. By combining stars and the moon, or in some cases even the sun, many different designs are possible that don't carry that much meaning as many of the other designs.
But the all time favorite and the most popular Star Tattoo Design is by far the shooting star. Often covering large areas of skin by combining the shooting star with smaller stars, it can also come as tiny depiction of a beautiful single meteorite.
