Nautical Stars are great and with great history and meaning unlike some other designs I could mention.

Found a neat article on the history at http://www.articlegold.com/Article/Nautical-Star-t

Hey Glaven-

THanks for the input I agree with you nautical star tattoos are really cool and they do have a history behind them. What that history is can be somewhat unclear but was obvisouly tied into sailors very early on. What that means today who knows it depends ont he person wearing it.

Funny you mentioned that article. I was the orginal author of it. The article hit very big on the internet and became very popular and is now published over 550 times across the nternet. IT has been about three years now since I wrote it and it used to be found almost 10,000 times. It has generated 100,000's of visitors to my old website. Anyway it was a very popular article and brings up a good controversy. Who claims ownership of the meaning of a tattoo.

I'd love to see some shooting star tattoos with the proper vapour/glittery trail behind them. I know these are so hard to do properly and if I come across the real deal, I'll have it done on my back to represent my three kids.

I designed my own tatoo with the nautical star. It's pretty freakn' awsome if I do say so myself. I didn't know it had any meaning at all I just thought it look cool; however IT DOES! Make sure even if it's your own design that it doesn't have a meaning you don't want. :)

I am looking for a sun, moon and star tattoo(with the initial "M" somewhere in the design) that would go across my lower back. Any ideas?

lalala  says:

just keep looking and when you find something YOU like go for it, you cant base your tattoo on what friends or family think of the idea, because then it is not what you want and you are the one stuck with it for the rest of your life. Plus if you get something that a friend or family member has suggested and you stop talking to them you will regret it. and for the people that are worried about the pain you are obviously not ready for a tattoo of course they hurt. grow up and get some balls

I got a really cool star foot tattoo a couple of weeks ago which i really love. I'm wanting to get another tattoo, but i want it to mean something, I've been thinking for a while I'm considering getting a cherry blossom or the Sanskrit lotus symbol, i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas, i was also thinking of getting something like 'believe' written in Italian as a tribute to my great grandad but I'm worried about getting the translation right. thanks to anyone who can help.
