Many people view tattoos as intimate and important parts of their body, as opposed to statements against society. It is now popular to design one’s own tattoo instead of choosing from the designs the artist owns. Stars as tattoo designs are not as simple and common as you may think they are.  Many types of star designs exist that you may have never even considered, so put some thought into your tattoo. Even if you are not a great artist, a tattoo professional can help you create your own piece of art.

Star Tattoo Design Ideas

The basic star shape has many alterations and customizations that can be used to distinguish your tattoo. While there is no limit to the number of points your star can have, most have between four and seven, with anything greater than seven considered overkill. With too many points, it may be difficult to recognize your artwork as a star.   If too many points are added, you will have a sun instead of a star.

Some artists encourage shooting star designs for an uncommon, fashionable look. Just like with regular stars, there are numerous design options that can help the tattoo really fit you. A shooting star features artwork representing cosmic trails and dust particles. For best results, these tattoos usually look best on a shoulder blade or on the lower back, visible above jeans. Less common but still possible, it will still look impressive on the wrist, above the breast, or arm.

Do not limit yourself to just a star; other objects can be incorporated as well. To really accentuate your tattoo, consider a moon or a sun. In addition to heavenly bodies, you can match essentially anything to a star that you enjoy, from a favorite quote, to a sword, to tribal lettering.

Colored stars have become the popular choice in recent times, as opposed to the simpler monotone design. Many people decide upon multiple colors for their star, and others choose to have the entire range of one color. This is not for everyone, as some still prefer a more basic design with one color or tone.
