The meaning of star tattoos
If you need to analyze the general meaning of these tattoos, you need to ask yourself, what do stars stand for? Stars stand for ambition, goals, aims, enlightenment, knowledge and beauty. Like you could get a star tattoo at a new beginning in life, when you have a brand new goal. Or it could be done to celebrate a bright moment in your life. They could stand for your dreams, or your choices, too. Let's break it down and understand meanings with reference to tattoo designs.
Shooting star tattoo:
Shooting stars are to represent a few moments that have left lasting impressions on your life. It could be a crush, an accident, short romance or just a vacation with your family. Shooting stars look gorgeous and are perfect to make the hidden importance of days gone by, apparent.
Nautical Star tattoo:
Everyone knows how the Three Wise Kings found their way to Bethlehem by following the north star. Before the use of compasses, sailors and travelers used to find their routes with the help of the nautical star (north star). In fact they often got a tattoo of the nautical star (also known as compass star) to ensure that they do not lose their way! This tattoo signifies the will to create one's own path. It stands for protection and guidance.
Pentagram tattoo:
The Five point star can have 2 meanings. If it is upward facing, it is seen as a sign of balance and protection. Consequently, a downward facing pentagram, stands for the
Devil. Hence, it is often said that Devil worshipers have a downward facing pentagram star tattoo, to advertise their love for the Devil.
The Hexagram or the Star of David tattoo:
The star of David is a very strong symbol in Judaism. It stands for the interaction between humans and the Divine. As per Paganism, it stands for "the blade and the chalice". It is the sign for complete humanity. The star of David is often used to maintain a balance in life.
Monogram tattoo:
A nine point star is fairly rare. As it is not very easy to draw, it is seldom chosen. The nonogram stands for achievement and stability. It is used to bring about and keep stability in life. It is quite mystical and since ages, has been said to have special powers!
