The “Origin” of star tattoos designs
It all started from
“yesterday’s” childhood favorite chapters of varied fairytales. The
stories which revealed the significance of a star has made us biased
enough to believe in its powers. After all, bed time stories do
 affect
children. Flipping through the pages of ancient histories and coming
across varied incidents, we came to believe that a “star” symbolizes the
path of righteousness. As a matter of fact, a star plays a very
important role in the upbringing of human civilization. Now, how is that
possible? Well, development in human civilization in general means
development in yielding and producing crops, harvesting that is.
Based on the location of
the stars up in the sky, farmers get to know what crop is to be yield in
what seasons. People believe that a star is nothing but a pentagram.
Pentagram is basically a pentagon star that has a significant meaning. A
pentagon has 5 corners, that is, the 5 points of a star. The 5 points
are likely the air, water, earth, fire and the sky, and they are said to
be controlled by a fairy (virtually located on the top of the star). It
is considered as something precious and holy and has been worshipped by
people since ages.
If we summarize all the
possible facts about a “star”, then we conclude that there are reasons
enough for a “star” being the centre of attraction and a matter of
concern.
Now, let’s see things in
a different way. The sun which is a big deal is considered as the
closest star which we witness. Our solar system is considered to be
comprised of 9 planets and the sun is responsible of keeping these
planets at their respective places. Science says that none of these
planets could’ve existed if the sun wasn’t there. Our very own planet
earth has life in it and it is due to the sun’s energy. Now, this
signifies that the sun is somewhat like a supreme commander or head of
the family. However, you will be surprised to know that it is the
smallest star in the universe. Now, don’t you think that above mentioned
significance of the sun is reason enough for us to worship it? Well,
people do.
At times we do notice
that people often carry their idol of worship along with them all the
time in form of bracelets or necklace. For example, Christians carry
necklaces those come with a cross (symbolizing Jesus). But of late
people have started seeing things in a different way; instead of
carrying them they permanently paint their skin in form of tattoos
signifying their worship, faith and their belief as more concrete and
orthodox. A lot does it for the sake of style.
So, people those who
worship the sun, they get a sun symbol drawn on their skin as well. In
order to avoid some same old circular artworks on their skin, they
modify the symbol to a star just to add a tinge of style. After all a
sun is a star too! A lot think that having 5 edged pointed star tattoos
on their skin will make it look a bit more stylish than having old
fashioned rounded tattoos. This is how the star tattoos design ideas was
born!
Star tattoos designs come
along with various color combinations and types. It depends upon your
choice as of what kind of design would you prefer. Star tattoos designs
come along with various meanings as well. A single star signifies “an
aim” in life, where as shooting star tattoos designs signify “yielding
to the right path”. Have you ever heard of nautical star tattoos
designs? Well, these were used by sailors during the ages of the
crusades. Similarly, there are quite a number of star tattoos designs
you will get in a tattoo parlor.
