Girls' Star Tattoos

                      Girls star tattoos are considered to be very meaningful and symbolic because they mainly represent a person's dreams and goals in life. There is a lot to consider when planning on getting a star tattoo, like why you want it, what size it should be, how unique you want it to be and most importantly where on your body you want it. Let me tell you about the five most common types of star tattoos and their symbolic meanings.

Let's start with the Pentagram star tattoo. This tattoo has a deep meaning to it and it is a 5-pointed star. The five points represent the five elements which are fire, wood, earth, water and metal. It also symbolizes faith, health, mathematical perfection and celestial sky.

Next is the girls moon star tattoo. This tattoo represents the sky during the night and it is also a combination of the moon and the star(s). Compared to other star tattoos, moon star tattoos have little symbolic meaning to it but they are very beautiful.

Another type of star tattoo is the Star of David tattoo. It is also called a hexagon because it is 6-pointed. It symbolizes the rule of God all over the universe and also His protection from all directions.

Shooting star tattoos are also another kind of star tattoos. They are extremely popular in the tattoo world because they are versatile. They represent a wish coming true, success or good luck.

Last but not the least is the Nautical star tattoo. This tattoo dates back to almost a century and is a 5-pointed star. It was mainly tattooed on the bodies of sailors because they relied on the stars to take them home since they navigated their ships using the stars in the night. Therefore, this tattoo is a symbol of guidance and represents the direction of life.

Follow this advice if you decide to get girls star tattoos.

To make it easier for the tattoo artist to do their job, make sure you wear loose fitting clothes to the tattoo parlor.

Make sure you are completely happy and content with the design you have in mind before you get to the tattoo parlor because removing a tattoo is extremely painful and expensive.

Star Tattoo Designs - 5 Great Types of Star Tattoos to Check Out Before Getting Your Next Tattoo

                     Star tattoo designs are extremely popular. Stars are universally regarded as a great design of tattoo to get. In this article, I'll tell you what they mean and then tell you about 5 different types of star tattoo designs that you will want to know about before getting your next tattoo.

Star Tattoo Meaning

For most people wearing them, tattoos of stars have little to no meaning. They just look nice. They are also quite neutral and do not have any real mythological or religious status unless you choose to get a star done in a particular style.

For some people, they can represent ambition or hope but for most they are quite neutral.

Star Tattoo Designs For Girls

Girls are fortunate because many tattoos of stars are considered feminine from a cultural point of view. Many of the styles of star tattoos are also feminine.

The regular star style tattoo is five sided. It may be a simple outline with no colouring within or each star may be painted in multiple colours. A popular type of tattoo in this latter style is the collection of "shooting stars". This is very common to see on the feet, the inner wrist, the hip and the ribs.

Another style of star that is done quite often consists of a black outline adjacent to an ink-less region just inside that, followed by a filling of the rest of the tattoo's centre with ink.

Star Tattoos On Neck

This is a popular type of tattoo and it comes in many forms.

One is to have a collection of shooting stars that come up from the back (or don't) and end under the hairline but above shoulder height. For example, Rihanna has a neck tattoo like this. At other times, a single star in outlined black or green ink can be found in this same location.

Another variation is to have an off-centred star on the neck such as shooting stars going towards an ear. Some girls like to get star(s) done right behind the ear. Although many people find this sexy, some people may consider this to be a "facial tattoo" and it could stop you getting some types of jobs.

Tribal Star Tattoo Designs

Tribal stars are less common than those mentioned above but they still make for a great looking tattoo. In fact, there are many more varieties of tribal star tattoos.

Some stars may appear to have depth and be in three dimensions. More commonly, a tribal tattoo will be in the Maori style. Tribal design style means that the five points on a star can be done in a style that is highly unique to you.

4 Point Star Tattoos

Most stars are drawn with 5 points. Frankly, a 4 pointed star does not look like a star and the same goes for 6 points. I strongly advise you to avoid these types of tattoo unless your artist is highly skilled and can convince you otherwise.

Star Tattoo Designs For Men

The stereotypical tattoo of a star is cute and multi-coloured and generally does not look good on a man. However, if he wants to carry this type of tattoo and he can pull it off then that's his business and who is anyone to judge.

That said, if you want something you can cope with more easily then you could opt for a tribal style tattoo and these are more neutral. A shooting star that has a tail like a comet or a meteorite is also a good choice.
