Nautical And Shooting Star Tattoos

By Darren Hartley


Nautical star tattoos are symbols of a remembrance star, love, dream following and something to let people around you know you rely on the stars to guide you in the specific path you have chosen. They were first tattooed on early sailors who relied on the stars to find their way at sea.

In the punk subculture, nautical star tattoos are worn as on the elbow or part of a sleeve tattoo to connote the true north or finding one's own unique individuality. In the early days of the homosexual culture, particularly lesbians, wore them on their wrist, covered by a watch or bracelet during the day but shown off during the night.

Guidance, good fortune, protection, security and direction are among the common meanings associated with nautical star tattoos. When they are worn by sailors, they become expressions of anxiousness for a safe trip to wherever they are supposed to go.

While a shooting star is actually a meteor entering the earth's dominion, shooting star tattoos are considered as symbols for wishes turning to realities, successes that are fleeting and temporary and luck bringing only good and not bad. Shooting star tattoos has a certain subtleness attached to them regardless of their covering a larger portion of the body area. This is particularly true for imageries of shooting stars with a star dust or a trail of smaller stars, following them.

Associated with shooting stars are moments in time that mark lasting impressions on a person. These moments could be from a brief romance, a life-changing event, an unforgettable person, a truly satisfying job, any incident that has an enormous transitional effect on a person's life. A person may opt for shooting stars tattoos for any of these specific reasons.

A representation of the hopes of a person to be in the center stage, in one point in his life, or his goals and aspirations of reaching the heavens by becoming the phenomenon he can be, even on a fleeting basis, may be the symbolisms a shooting star carries. Not a lot of men wear shooting star tattoos because they are not considered very male defining designs. Meanwhile women normally choose to wear them on the arm, leg, foot wrist, side or lower back.
