Choice Of The Day Is Star Shaped Tattoos

Known as symbols of dreaming and aspiration, stars are just perfect for a tattoo

, especially if you are a girl; their meanings depend on the shape and occasionally of the spot you decide to place them on.

For example, a shooting star represents wishful thinking, a significant positive change and also a dream come true. The nautical star generally means guidance; traditionally, it shows the way home and also deciphers the meaning of intricate feelings and offers protection. The pentagram star has two distinct meanings, varying on whether it points upwards or downwards. If it is pointed upwards, it symbolizes the gift of story telling, superior protection and a sense of balance for the ancient Celts; pointing downwards, the pentagram has more of a negative meaning.

Another very popular star symbol as a tattoo is the Star of David or the hexagram; it is one of the marks of Creation for the Jews, meaning the human bond with Divinity. The seven pointed star or septagram is believed to bring to light the mystical side of all things; its origins are Hindu and it is believed it symbolizes the seven planets of the Solar System. The umber seven on its own has a deep spiritual significance and is viewed as luck-bringer and a protective omen. The octogram star means fulfillment for the Egyptians and is used as a symbol of the US firefighters, while the nanogram star generally represents the equilibrium between the elements which form a person's life.

The ways in which a star tattoo can be applied are also numerous: you can have a set of thick or thin lines representing a star or a group of stars, you can have them colored or black and white, without running the risk of affecting their meaning. Placed on shoulders, chest, upper or lower leg, neck or back, they are just as charming. The most important thing is what they mean to you and what you wish to transmit (to yourself and others) by them.

These are just a few of the star symbols you can consider for imprinting on your skin as tattoos; their design can also be attractive as it is, leaving aside the vast mythology wrapped around them.
