Moon Star Fairy Tattoos

About Moon Star Fairy Tattoos

Moon star fairy tattoos can bring out your whimsical side for the world to see, but why do we mere humans have such a fascination for these timeless creatures and heavenly realms? It's really not that hard to understand. Fairies, pixies or whatever you choose to call them are all symbolic of the youthfulness that still lives deep within us all.

Who's Your Fairy?

Fairies can have distinct personalities. Some can be viewed as good and helpful, using their magical powers to make our wishes come true. Pixies are also seen as mischievous, interfering with everyday affairs just enough to keep us on our toes. In some instances, these other-worldly creatures can be downright nasty, placing curses on passerby who inadvertently stumbles into their domain.

The type of fairy you choose to have inked will reveal something about your personality. This is reason enough to put a bit more thought into your design.

The Moon and Star Connection

Pairing fairies with moon and star motifs is actually a very natural progression in design. In folklore, fairies often only come out at night in order to evade prying human eyes. This leaves them free to cavort in the moonlight and dance among the stars.

Fairies and their like also have a place in the mystical hierarchy of Celtic lore. Since the moon is viewed as maiden, mother and crone, the fairies are drawn to her light like lost children.

Adapting Current Tattoos

Perhaps you already have a really great tattoo, but you had to go through a lot of pain to get it. If you would like to have a moon star fairy tattoo, but you don't relish spending more time under the needle than you have too, adapting a current tattoo may be the answer.

A nice moon and stars tattoo can easily be enhanced by a talented artist to incorporate a fairy into the design. The fairy could flit around the periphery of the design, or take center stage on the moon itself.

Conversely, a moon could be added to nearly any fairy tattoo, with stars sprinkled around as needed to add balance to the new design.

New Design Ideas

Are you looking for ideas to inspire your tattoo image? Why not try one of these?

• How about a fairy rushing toward a full moon on a trail of starry fairy dust?
• Picture a pixie swinging on a crescent moon against a starry background.
• A fairy riding a shooting star past the moon could make a very attractive tattoo.
• Imagine a fairy sleeping inside the orb of a full moon, sprinkled with star dust. This tat would have a very dreamy quality to it.
• A pixie child napping in a crescent moon with a star mobile hanging overhead would make a cute design.
• How about a design with a wistful fairy peering at the moon and stars from the branch of a tree?
• Imagine two fairy lovers in silhouette against a full moon.

Tattoo Placement

Once you have a design in mind, the next step is deciding where to place it. A simple moon star fairy image is easy to create on a smaller scale, so upper arms and ankles make good canvasses for these tats. A more detailed image requires more space to keep the design intact. Tats like these are best placed in roomier areas like the back of your shoulder, upper chest and lower back.

If you're willing to spend the time and money, you can even have your design turned into a full body sleeve. This leaves enough room to stretch out your heaven and add more fairies to your body art.
