There are some different options. This article will help you look at some of the most common tattoo designs for stars and this will help you make your choices.

Nautical star Tattoos

nautical stars are probably one of the most popular of all tattoo designs. These can easily be done as one big star and stand alone or they are often combined as part of an overall design. These are a traditional tattoo that dates back to the sailors. Sailors would of course use the star to navigate by and using the north star would help them find their way home. Over time the north star became associated with a symbol of good luck and a safe journey. Therefore many of the sailors would get nautical star tattoos to ensure their safer return home.

Today many different groups like to use nautical star tattoos also. There of course is a close tie with many current people serving in the armed forces and especially in the Navy. They associate themselves with the sailors but also with the desire for a safe journey home. The nautical star can also symbolize following your own path in life and thus it has become a popular symbol for many rugged individuals. Often groups like those that are into rockabilly and punk music will get nautical star tattoos for the symbolism of following your own path in life.

Star Constellation Tattoos

Another popular option for star tattoos is to get a series of smaller colored stars that are sometimes grouped together. This could be five little stars that span across the top of your foot and are only a inch or so in size. Another option could be a much larger design of 10 stars that span across an upper or lower back tattoo design. Either way a very popular option for star tattoos is to get them in combination together.

Star and Moon Tattoos

Of course you can’t really have night and the star showing without the moon right? These two are always intricately related and they often can be combined to create a very effective tattoo design. Star and moon tattoos really go hand in hand. If you are looking for a design that is a little bigger and has some more detail then just a group of stars then you might want to consider a star and moon. By adding the moon you can add a lot more complexity and size to the design.

Shooting Star Tattoos

Shooting stars are also very popular among men and women both. Shooting stars are large balls of gass burning through the atmosphere. The association or symbolism in tattoos of a shooting star is living life to the fullest. Shooting stars are bright, brilliant and definitely live fast. Well, many like that association and want to live their life to the fullest. A sort of modern day equivalent to the Latin phrase Carpe Diem. The shooting star can be the tattoo symbol for the saying Carpe Deim.

Whatever star tattoo design you choose it is important to spend some time thinking about the design and carefully selecting what you want. There are a lot of options out there and you want to get something you will be satisfied with.
