About Star Tattoos
As long as human have walked the earth, there have been stars above us! Stars are a symbol of celestial pursuits, lofty goals or achievements, or noble philosophies. They are one of mankind’s most basic design elements and have woven their way into our religious, political, and cultural emblems.
Nations, religions, cities, armies, corporations, and ancient families are just a few examples of organizations that have adapted the star as a part of their identity or used it to represent aspects of their ideology.
Stars can be dainty and delicate on the wrist, foot, or face. Stars can also be enormous and have monumental impact on the back, shoulder, or within a composition as a sleeve.
A single star can be a spectacle on the point of an elbow.
Clusters of stars spread beautifully in bracelets, across the lower back, or draping over a shoulder. They can extend up and arm or ankle. The thigh is an ideal location for placing a meaningful constellation.
Since the star itself is a simple icon, the color, outline and dimensions you choose can be the most important aspect of your design. A star can be outlined, negative, shaded, nautical, or 3D. You can use a single stationary star; represent a specific star (such as Sirius, the dog star), a cluster, or shooting star. Tribal, Celtic, Maori, or Aztec stars, and the Metallica star logo are more options. If stars are featured in the flag of your nation, you could choose a patriotic theme. Colors like black, or black and red give a punk or rock star feel. Pink, purple, or patterns like leopard or zebra can make a cute and feminine star.
The star can be used as a background to enhance other elements! Place a large skull inside a black star for massive impact! A star can act as a brilliant frame for a flower, fairy, cross or butterfly, and fits naturally with celestial, mystical images like the moon and sun.
