Shooting Stars Art Tattoo

The sky has often been mused after as a thing of mystery, and shooting stars art tattoo designs stem from this mystery and amazement of the heavens.

Shooting stars are actually pieces of space debris falling through the earth’s upper atmosphere and burning up on re-entry. They’re not stars at all, just junk. They can be particles from a dead planet that is just reaching our own. They can be pieces from broken satellites or end stage rocket casings from the space program. Regardless if the object is a piece of rock or space junk leftover from the cold war; it is still a brilliant display in the night sky.

Fantasy springs eternal with this type of tattoo. Shooting stars have long since captivated the minds of people from all over the world. Many years ago, they were seen as harbingers of death and doom as they would remind undeveloped civilizations that there are things they just could not understand or grasp. The shooting stars would be a rain of fire from the angry Gods. Now that we know what a shooting star is, we have began to look upon them as a symbol of hope. When we see a shooting star we begin to making silent wishes to ourselves. Shooting stars art tattoo is also a way to show appreciation of life’s little miracles or stellar occasions.

Stars have always been a popular subject matter for tattoos and got their start with sailors and pirates hundreds of years ago in the form of the nautical star. This star is seen today among the punk community and is probably one of the most recognizable. This star was placed on the top of the hand as a reminder of their journey at sea as well as in life. To this day, the nautical star is more a symbol of unity among the subcultures that use it. A pirate known as Sailor Jerry is accredited with much of the tattoo art that pirates of the day had received.

Shooting stars art tattoo are often believed to symbolize the dreams and wishes of a person. They can also symbolize a point in your life that means change, like a birth of a child or the loss of a loved one. The shooting star pattern evolved from the nautical star and can include several components like a simple tail or line to give the appearance of falling. They can also be significant to you if you an aspiring star to keep you remember to aim for the stars or risk falling.

You can place the shooting star tattoos virtually any place on your body. There are certain locations that make the shooting stars look their best. The top of the foot is a great spot for them, but there's some pain that goes along with that as a location. A shooting star pattern of the chest and on the shoulder blade are also places that many people place the tattoo.

There are a myriad of reasons why someone would get this type of tattoo and unlike the nautical star, the shooting star has nothing to do with sailing:

• In remembrance of a moment of time in your life that had a great impact like a friendship, relationship or even a graduation from school or job promotion
• A memoriam to a lost friend or family member
• The birth of a child
• Your desire at stardom or to remember to “reach to the stars”
• Fresh beginning or significant changes in your life

Not every shooting star design has to have a meaning behind it. Maybe you just really like the design and want something that will always remain in style. This tattoo style is often preferred mainly by women because it can become “pretty” or “feminine” and a piece that can easily be talked about and displayed.
