history to the symbol. Thus has lead to a wide
disagreement as the the meaning of the tattoo.

sailor lore abounds with superstitious and fantastical stories

for finding ones way home or more

rockers and those in the military have adopted the nautical
star tattoo as a very important symbol. The diversity of
these three groups has lead many to argue the meaning of their
tattoos.
For the military the connection is pretty obviously point
back to the early sailors and the symbolism and meaning is the
same as the early sailors. Many military people get a
nautical star tattoo as a symbol for finding ones path home
safely. Of course this can also include more
