Do you like ornate but simple designs at the same time? Are you a lover of geometric shapes? Do you look to the sky for inspiration for your next tattoo? As you check out our star tattoo gallery, more than one may surprise you!
The star is a symbol that accompanies humanity since time immemorial, being full symbols cultural meaning related to beliefs, mythologies and religions. From good luck or success to wish fulfillment, the stars can symbolize multiple things, and it is perhaps because of this universality of the star and its many meanings that it is a common and powerful symbol with multiple interpretations for multiple cultures.
Star tattoos are a common choice for a first tatoo, since they are usually not very complicated designs and not excessively large, but in turn very decorative. They can go from a small star in a tiny area as a detail to a star trail or shooting star that occupies a more extended area in the body, where they usually tattoo on arms, legs, feet, wrists or even on the back.
Although it may have been a tattoo used mostly by the female gender, for a few years it has become quite popular in men, although these tend to opt for simpler and more sober motives, without colors or excessive ornaments.
Remember that when it comes to getting a tattoo, nothing like go to a trusted and professional center and maintain hygiene and subsequent care to obtain the best results and conservation.
In this case we wanted to show you a design that included stars but not only stars. Typically, the designs have stars but are not exclusively stars. In this case we see how it is a musical tattoo where a treble clef appears, several musical notes and a score where all the notes are usually written down in order to play an instrument. It is a tattoo that occupies the entire side of the girl and also the left part of the belly. A very good design for a woman.
As a second image we have this one that several star motifs constitute with a red star and with the black border whose size is larger than that of the other stars. It also belongs to a woman and in this case the place chosen by this girl was the leg that although not usually very common, is also a valid place to have one of these designs.
To start the gallery I think that a tattoo on the foot is quite good, a place widely used by girls to have a tattoo. In this case it has four small colored stars and many other almost tiny ones that cannot be seen. The stars have bright colors like red, green, blue and yellow.
In this case, this second tattoo has many stars, almost twenty and all are of the same style and the same color. In my opinion there are too many stars in the same tattoo. The result is not as beautiful or fabulous as the previous one. I like the previous one much more. It is too simple.
Almost all the stars in this design have only the edges or the silhouette drawn except for a blue star that is the largest and is the only one that is colored. I really like the design that this big star has inside.
In this photo we can see how a woman has chosen some stars. Specifically, they are three stars and it has also tattooed several clouds with which it completes the sky. Only the sun and the moon are missing.
Actually it is not a star as we know it but this compass for its manufacture has chosen stars when making the central part. He has used two stars to build it.
The design on the right we have seen before but in this image we see it from another angle and the truth is that now it looks much better than before. On the shoulder or arm this man also has another tattoo although it does not include any stars, only some oriental letters and a kind of shield. We can also see several colored lines although I don't know what meaning they can have.
This tattoo is the same as those in the two photos we have seen before but with the difference that it is more finished. Here we can see the black background and another big yellow star with both eyes drawn. I still think he has a part to finish and is the top.
It was about time we saw a tattoo composed of only one star. Actually they are five symbols the same as in the end when you join them, they form a five-pointed star like the one we see in this photograph. The ink that has been used is black and the place chosen was the forearm, very close to the wrist.
Design that is unfinished. All stars, even of different sizes, have very similar shapes and the tattoo is somewhat lacking in content and meaning.
Design around the ankle of several stars. The bottom of it is somewhat confusing, we do not know if it is a flash of light (in which case light and never dark tones should be used) or a kind of branch on which the stars are … We believe it is an unfinished design that It makes no sense and does not provide any idea.
Although stars appear on the tattoo, the main part of it is the treble clef. The star is an element that integrates very well in tattoos with musical motifs and can be a detail that helps enrich the design.
Design of several stars in different colors and other empty ones in the hip area. What can not be done in these designs is to fill some stars and leave others empty because then confusion is created, so they must be either all empty or all colored in my opinion.
Image of a tattoo of three blue stars behind the ear. It is an area as we have already mentioned in other entries that is very good if you want to cover on some occasion or to not get tired of the design quickly. The stars themselves seem to have been drawn freehand and the chosen blue tone is not very successful.
Design of two stars and a sun in the middle that refers to the flag of Argentina. You can see that the stars are later designs, but the shades, shapes and paths fit the sun that was previously tattooed,
Several stars in black tone behind the ear. The design is not very original and is not colorful, but the area chosen for it gives it style and originality.
Design of a multitude of stars with different paths. The problem with these designs in which many gemoometric forms accumulate is that the boundary part of the design must be blurred, that is, it does not end suddenly if a somewhat strange design remains. It could be improved by tattooing stars in lighter shades around until they disappear.
Design of a red star with more stars around. The line is not correct, you can see that the lines are not straight. Nor is the transition of light tone from the center of the star to the dark points of the star.
Design of several stars that are descending and whose size is getting smaller. The chosen area is correct, since this design can be covered, which has a very weak result.
Design of a star accompanied by smaller ones. The design is somewhat confusing, there is a large star that seems to be followed by others, the colors are not well integrated, the blue shading is not successful …
A star of several stars on this girl's hip. Little can be said about this simple design, in black tones and with different sizes of stars but very similar between them. However, there are some of the stars that are not very well defined.
Design of several stars on the arm. This type of stars is more common to see it on the side of the elbow and only one star appears in the type of design we are talking about. In relation to the image, there is one of the choruses whose layout leaves much to be desired and worsens the result of the design.
Design of a multitude of small stars that form a kind of figure. In another design I already commented that when tattooing a multitude of forms, a profusion blur should be done around for a better result.
Design of three units in the arm. The tips are irregular and, although it is one of the most common mistakes in these designs, the result as you can see is very negatively affected.
Groups of three of different colors among them. It is a design that can be observed with other elements such as birds, the design is repeated on each of the feet.
Design in black tones. The chosen area is the arm although it could have been tattooed higher, closer to the shoulder so that it would be better integrated into the body.
One inside the other and several times … The area chosen is uncommon for this design, but it has the advantages that we will not get tired of the design and that it is easy to hide.
Summary
| Most tattooed body areas | In general, all parts of the body are good for these types of tattoos because the size of the stars can be what we want. We highlight places of the body such as the foot, the instep, the belly or the belly, the forearm, the neck or neck, the back and the wrist. That is, it is popular in all places of the body. |
| Most used colors or inks | As almost always, almost all or most of them have been made with black ink and are therefore black. The rest usually include brightly colored stars such as reds, blues and greens. |
| More men or more women? Is it a female or male tattoo? | Both men and women usually choose the stars to decorate their body although although it is true, perhaps the proportion is 60-40 in favor of women. |
| What is their size? Are they usually large, small or medium? | Medium and small almost all. Great I've seen few throughout my life. |
| Symbolism or meaning of these motives | I think that in this case the meaning is not clear and it will be the one that each person gives to that tattoo. The stars mean nothing in particular. |
| Medium difficulty of designs | The realization of this type of tattoos is easy except that it includes the occasional difficult symbol as we have seen in some images or photos of the gallery. |
What does a girl think about these designs?
Stars are another recurring design that we can use to give a different touch to any tattoo. Colorful, small, large or in dark tones. In any part of the body they look good. I like these designs a lot because being so simple drawings and with few variations they always look good.
