There are many ways in which we can express ourselves and our individuality, but surely one of the most lasting ways is through tattoos. Among the most celebrated and common designs worn by countless people around the world is the star tattoo.Some people find the star design somewhat dull and boring but to others, particularly those who are star gazers or who are fascinated with the stars, this design captures their inner self and purpose. If you are contemplating having a star tattoo but are in need of suggestions on how to come up with a few personalized star tattoo ideas then read on...

Different Kinds Of Stars

When most people are asked to draw the shape of a star what immediately comes to mind is the five pointed star, which is the one most of us learned to draw when we were children. The five sided star, known as a pentagram, is one of the most powerful yet misconceived symbolic representations of our modern times, although the shape has been around for thousands of years. It is a popular belief today that a pentagram star tattoo wearer is somehow connected to Satanism, but this belief is not entirely correct. It is a known fact that there are indeed some Satanists who do favor the pentagram star design but they usually show the pentagram upside down (where the single point is downwards). By wearing this pentagram star design upside down it is meant to symbolize the elements rule over spirit, hence the satanic implications.

On the other hand, there are a lot of different kinds of stars designs other than the pentagram that we can use or consider for star tattoo ideas. You may wish to look at the possible designs that could be combined with the four pointed star that also serves as the cross shaped star. This shape offers a simplistic and elegant option.

Another one of the star tattoo ideas that a lot of people consider is the pentacle shape which has traditionally been a representative of the art of witchcraft and the 'dark side'. Notwithstanding the traditional connection with witchcraft the pentacle star tattoo idea is becoming more and more popular as a tattoo choice for many people, even those who do not favor or support witchcraft.

If you are a religious person, you may wish to consider the six pointed star which as we all know is meant to symbolize the Star of David. This shape is also known to represent the pagan God called, Remphan. Then there is the seven pointed star which is said to symbolize your childhood, the whimsical or is considered by some to be a fairy star.

Apart from the 4, 5, 6 and 7 sided star shapes you may choose to have your star design tattoo incorporate the eight pointed star which is known as the cross of St. John. The eight pointed star is also known to symbolize the emblem of Knights of Malta, which historically was one of the most popular religious organizations that existed during the time of the religious crusades in the middle east.

If you have decided that a star tattoo design is "the one for you" then make sure you consider the traditional symbolic meanings and carefully choose a design that will best represent you and your thoughts and beliefs.

It is not really amazing to learn that many celebrities love tattoos, nor is it surprising that those who are in the public eye and in the media have quite a considerable influence on the general people’s fascination with tattoos. The stars have tattoos, so all of their fans want tattoos too. For celebrities, age is not a factor; older as well as the younger ones have them. We know all of these people-- but do we also know about what unique styles of artwork they have?

One of America's most popular movie stars, Robert DeNiro, has made an appearance in movies, sporting numerous tattoos. Whether or not his fans realize that they are only accessories, and he uses Temporary Tattoos for his films. The fact is in real life Robert DeNiro has only one Real Tattoo, that of a black panther. Another actor who shows off many tattoos in his movies is Johnny Depp; all of his, however, are real. Bruce Willis also has a few tattoos; most notably the symbol of his movie "Die Hard."

Tattoos have also been in style with many noted musicians. Former teen idol Justin Timberlake has a guardian angel, and a few more. Rapper Eminem has more tattoos than countable, including his daughter's name and his own.

Some sports celebrities also vouch for tattoos. Michael Jordan has his fraternity symbol tattooed above his chest, while Dennis Rodman is a virtual canvas of artwork.

Not to be defeated, many female stars also show off various degrees of artwork. Young actress Drew Barrymore is essentially a canvas full of tattoos; it is believed that she designed them herself. Reese Witherspoon is more understated, wearing only one small star tattoo which is rarely visible. Pamela Anderson too has a variety of tattoos, the most notable being the word 'Mommy' on one finger, which reportedly used to read 'Tommy.' Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has five stars to represent each member of her family, her husband's initials, and the time-honored Jewish phrase 'I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.'

Some of today's supermodels who also sport tattoos are Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, and Stephanie Seymour. All of them use Tattoos as a temporary form of fashion accessories. Most supermodels who opt for tattoos show fewer and smaller designs than celebrities in other fields.

While many celebrities have had tattoos for a very long time, the popularity of tattoos amongst stars has been ever-increasing, both in the number of celebrities who opt for them and the number of tattoos that they have. A very few have only permanent tattoo; more and more are taking on a large number of different temporary tattoos like Water Transfer , Glitter, Crystal Tattoos. Out of these, crystal tattoos are the most popular amongst women, as it adds a dash of glamour to their personality.

As celebrities show off their tattoos, and this is picked up by the media, it presents a growing influence for their fans, especially amongst the younger generation, who want to ape them. As with anything else that stars do in the public eye, their influence with tattoos helps this form of artwork become more prevalent, more popular, and more acceptable to most of the people.
