Stars are a classic tattoo design with much associated historical significance. They are also incredibly flexible in terms of location, size, and colour. For these reasons, many men choose to ink star tattoos rather than one of the many other available designs. They are particularly popular among sailors, members of the navy and marine corps, as well as men looking to ink a fairly small, subtle design.
Stars have a whole host of associated meanings and significance to people all around the world. The meanings are among the most profound and deep of any commonly tattooed design style. There are many different tattoo design styles, each with their own historical significance.

The nautical star was one of the very first tattoo designs to become popular with westerners, after sailors exploring the Pacific came across tribal societies practicing the art of hand poked tattoos. Tribesmen were commonly tattooed with patterns and imagery that had profound social and religious significance among their community. The explorers who came across the tribes learned their methods of tattooing, and began to ink each other with symbols that were important to their lives. Stars were one of the most popular designs among sailors. The explorers used the stars in the night sky to navigate their ships across the oceans of the world, and so the stars were of immense importance and relevance to them. For this reason, having a star tattoo was thought to bring luck, and a safe passage to the intended destination. Many men still choose to ink nautical stars, especially sailors and members of the military, such as the navy and marine corps.
Another popular style of star tattoo is the pentagram. The pentagram is a five pointed star, the points being connected with straight lines. This is a very ancient symbol that holds importance among many of the world’s major faiths and spiritual groups, including Christianity, Judaism, Paganism, and Taoism, among others. Many men therefore choose star tattoo designs to show their devotion to a certain religious or spiritual group. The meaning of the pentagram star varies among religions and tattoo enthusiasts are advised to do further research if they are inking a pentagram star for religious reasons.
Over recent decades our understanding of stars has greatly increased, and the finding have been truly awe inspiring. As science has increased out knowledge of what stars are, we have come to realise that all the elements that exist in the universe were created inside stars. When the nuclear fires that power a star go out, the star explodes, blasting all of the elements out in to space. This material eventually coalesces to form new planets, stars, moons and asteroids. All of the molecules that make up the planet earth, its mountains, oceans, animals, and plants, were originally created inside of a star. So when someone asks you where you are from, you can truthfully say that you come from outer space, created inside of a star. This profound realisation is a major reason why many men choose to ink star tattoos.
Star tattoos provide men with a huge variety of design style, size, placement, and colour options. Star tattoos can be inked in any colour and sited anywhere on the body (see Tattoo Body Areas section for more information about the commonly tattooed area of the body). Some men prefer to ink a larger single star, such as a nautical star design, while other men prefer a composite of smaller stars, or incorporate small stars in to a more complex tattoo design. The options really are limitless, and star tattoos are among the most flexible of tattoo design styles.
If you think that a star tattoo may be the design for you, I recommend that you browse through as much top quality star tattoo artwork as possible.

Please ensure that you take your time choosing a selection of designs that you like. Once you have some designs you like, I advise you to go and speak to a reputable tattoo artist. Show your artist your favourite designs and ask for their advice and ideas. After a consultation, take some more time to think about your tattoo design. Never rush your decision, far too many people do and end up having to live with a design that they loathe for the rest of their lives.
