Tattoo Art

Many people view tattoos as intimate and important parts of their body, as opposed to statements against society. It is increasingly common for people to create their own designs instead of going to a parlor and selecting one of the artist’s pieces of artwork. Star tattoo designs are not as simple and common as you may be inclined to think.   There are numerous potential designs, and your imagination is the limit when it comes to creating an original tattoo. Not being artistic should not stop you from designing a tattoo, as there are many tools and resources available to aid you with this task.

Ideas For A Star Tattoo Design

The basic star shape has many alterations and customizations that can be used to distinguish your tattoo. The number of points of the star usually varies between four to seven, and anything above seven is usually considered too much. Too many points can make your design confusing and make people unsure of what they’re looking at.  Keep the number of points relatively low so it looks like a star instead of a sun.

You may come across websites or people that advocate shooting star designs. As with other tattoos, many variations exist so you can customize it into something that fits your personality. The difference between shooting stars and regular stars is that shooting stars feature a depiction of a trail, along with dust and sparkles. This style is best suited for your shoulder blade, or your lower back, right above the jeans line. Less common but still possible, it will still look impressive on the wrist, above the breast, or arm.

Other objects can be implemented into your star design. To really accentuate your tattoo, consider a moon or a sun. Don’t think that objects found in outer space are the only appropriate complements, as you can use anything you like, from a family crest, to a flower, to a sword.

Colored stars have become the popular choice in recent times, as opposed to the simpler monotone design. The majority of stars have several colors, but some people like to choose the full range of one color. A basic design with a single color or tone is still the tattoo of choice for some people.
