A Guide to Star Tattoo Designs
In this guide to the best star tattoo designs I like to tell you something about the mythology of stars and why they are one of the most popular choices for tattoos.
If star tattoo design is your choice then you have chosen wisely as this design looks fantastic as a single star on the shoulder or arm for example, or when combined with other tattoo designs.
The most popular place to put your star tattoo is on the feet, ankles, wrist, and just about anywhere else. And as I said previously, stars can be mixed with other designs such as, butterflies and fairies, tribal or dragons, love hearts and the moon.
The star tattoo design has often replaced the cross in remembrance for someone who has passed on.
Star tattoo designs also look great in full arm or back tattoos. A couple of great star tattoo designs I have seen that you may like was a full arm star design theme of our MIlky Way,with Earth, Jupiter and Mars, in really bright colors.
Another example involved the biblical story of the 3 wise men following the guiding star. If you can imagine a full back design of this scene, then you can imagine how good it looked. How about now I explain some of the mythology of stars.
Stars have fascinated people throughout the ages, especially before television, computer games, and pollution dulled the view above us.The sun is usually represented as a god, and the moon as a goddess, and between the two, dominate many of the stories, with the stars coming in a strong third.
In ancient times many stories came about to explain their luminous existence. One myth describes the stars as children of the sun and moon; and because the sun was forever hungry he had no problem in devouring one of his children, and that is why stars make a hasty retreat at sunrise.
The moon, on the other hand, while the sun sleeps, plays happily with her children across the night sky.
My earlier reference to the Milky Way has also a story to tell in mythology, and that is it has been seen as a road between two worlds, a path taken by the souls of the dead on their journey to heaven.
