One of these types is the star tattoo. There are different reasons for this choice, one of them is because it has a specific meaning and the star reminds them all the time about that. Another reason is simply just because it looks good.

Probably what most people think when they get a star tattoo is "shooting for the stars". Meaning that you should always aim high to get what you want. This way the tattoo is a constant reminder for that and that's one of the main reasons people choose this design. Another meaning for the star tattoo is high interests in the universe, with it, they want to share their interest with other people.

A few ideas of star designs are for example nautical stars, shooting stars, and so on. Nautical stars were common with sailors. They were used as a guide at sea. People who are superstitious think that nautical stars will guide you through life. Shooting stars could mean that something happened during someone's life, in a short period of time, which changed it forever. The pentagram symbolizes the basic elements of live fire, water, earth, air and the spirit that connects
