Star Tattoo Design Ideas

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. Just like with regular stars, there are numerous design options that can help the tattoo really fit you. The difference between shooting stars and regular stars is that shooting stars feature a depiction of a trail, along with dust and sparkles. 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.

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.

Stars can be either monotone or color, but color tattoos have become the much more popular choice recently. The majority of stars have several colors, but some people like to choose the full range of one color. This is not for everyone, as some still prefer a more basic design with one color or tone.
