Whats with Star Tattoo's?
 

Star tattoo's, what's the story??.. seems to be the big trend for tatty's almost to the level of tribal armbands in the 90's and the ever popular "Tramp Stamps".

What's the story or symbolism behind them? I only have and get Native symbols since I'm a half breed, they have personal and traditional meanings but thats just me and what I get.

Give me the skinny on them stars.. some look killer.. some look jail house.

I am not sure... but I do know one thing. There is this one guy here on GFY that seems really bothered by them. [WHISPERS] I think he needs therapy. [/WHISPERS]

Women are generally obsessed with astral bodies, and tattoos are widely popular. So many women I talk to collect Stars (star cups, plates, clothing, posters, etc...), even mi gf is a star freak....


its a girl thing.

One of the funniest things I've heard in a long time is Carlos Mencia's rant about white folks with tribal tattoos.

A white guy in the audience stands up admits he has a tribal tattoo.

Mencia says, "And what tribe are you in, Chad?

It's a Nordic Star ... I was always told it represents your path or journey in life. at least that's what mine represents to me .. it was used by Vikings and sailer to navigate and you'll find a star very similar to it on map and compasses today ... here's the one i have on my Wrist ... star is on the right and i have a pair of Dice on my left .. one is my given path the other is the chances you take to change that ..

Now that I remember!! *S*

My brother in law has the two Nordic (aka Nautical) Stars on his forearms. Because ancient sailors use the stars to navigate the oceans they represent guidance and protection. He has been around sailing all his life and he and his father also design and build sailboats.....so yeah.

I really like that.. I am somewhat obsessed with hot rod flames.. I need a 57 Chevy, station wagon, black with killer hot rod flames!!

Ok that makes sense, I have also heard that they are for luck.

i dont know, but heaven help me my two year old is in love with stars and god help her if she comes home with it tatted on her body before she is out on her own

SKin poisoning.

No wonder columbus ended up in america on his journey... using a 5 point star when there is only 4 general directions. N,W,S,E

DUH!

Skin poisoning = smoking, drinking, the sun, gamma rays.. what's a lil ink 4 layers down..? :winkwink:

I love the hot rod style flames .... this is what i had before i added more flames to the arm with the star ... the girl is my old sectary .. we all went out one night with Juicy .. and he likes to take lots of pics ... :1orglaugh

Personally, I get star tattoo's because I love stars. I get heart tattoo's because I love hearts. I get flower tattoo's because I love flowers, I get butterfly tattoo's because I love butterflies...see where I'm going with this? LOL Some people have no fucking imagination at all and are just sheep. And some like what they like....I like things to look feminine on me, I really don't give a fuck about anyone else LOL :P

Some asians once told me that stars seem to be an "american thing".
Maybe they were referring to brand logos.. look at the background image of this forum for example..

Got one myself. Guidance. And an ace up my sleeve. :winkwink:

The third one is the nautical star, a star that the saliors used to use to show where they were going, basically the northstar
