One of the designs that we can see more on the streets for years are the stars. Pentagrams on elbows and shoulders, a small wake at the ankle, a nautical star ... There are many ways we have to have our own personal design. However, as often happens with many other tattoos, stars are a motif used since ancient times and always with a meaning behind it. Want to know what it is?
Already in the eighteenth century, sailors who made expeditions to Polynesia and discovered the art of tattooing stars were drawn on the skin to bring luck on your way back home. They chose that symbol as a reference star (Polaris in the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Cross in the south) that always served to guide them in the sea when they looked at the sky. That meaning is still relevant today. A star will always be related to the protection and security that you need when you are lost.

On the other hand, have pointed star will be a very important issue for the tattoo, since according to the number of them can be the symbol of one religion or another and mean very different things. Let's talk about the most famous: the 5, 6 and 8 points.
The 5-pointed star can be used by the Christian religion if its tip pointing up, but beware, if pointing down symbolizes paganism and is closely related to black magic. For its part, the 6-pointed star is called David and the Jewish people used to symbolize their relationship with the divine.
Finally, the 8-pointed star has several versions. The consists of two interlocking squares is very present in Muslim culture, which represents the Islamic paradise there after death. However, a octogram may also be related to the power of the sun or the renewal of self.
Ultimately, tattoo of a star has a lot to do with the protection and religion, but you can always give a new meaning by your own experiences.
