Star tattoos have become popular for many reasons. Still, their glamour and night-time splendor intrigues astronomers, from novice to expert. Many people have fallen in love with stars so much that they decide to take the plunge and get the cosmos tattooed on their bodies! Well, there's a wrong way and a right way to go about this, and we're going to cover both.
Stars are especially challenging. If you want a realistic cosmos tattoo, it's going to be very hard to get the right color and balance. Since the cosmos is black, the tattoo will have a great deal of darker colors that also may not show up correctly on all skin types. You must make sure you choose the right design for your skin tone, and have one of the best tattoo artists you can find.
The best way to tattoo a star is to either use a solidly colored star that's not superimposed against the universe, or to use a white-yellow star superimposed on a strong gray-black universe. If you opt for the latter option, make sure there's a lot of blend and space between the black color and the white color of the star outline. Otherwise, it will be very hard to see the star.
If you want a realistic galaxy or nebula on your skin, you're best bet is to find a brightly colored design in a familiar shape. A spiral nebula works great because everyone will instantly recognize the shape. Using bright blues, whites and yellows will help your astral image pop out against the darker background of the cosmos too.
An easy fix for this is the classic five-sided solidly colored star. These stars are much more playful and almost have a childlike innocence to them. A great spot for stars like these are your forearm and legs, where you can have a line of stars or motion stars. Another great idea for simpler star tattoos is to use them as anklet tattoos or bracelet tattoos. These designs can easily please most aspiring tattoo patrons.
The simpler stars are great because they are so easy to personalize to your own tastes and personality. Some people choose to get a tiny star tattooed in an inconspicuous spot. This makes the tattoo very mysterious and surprising! Others choose to get their stars placed conspicuously as a conversation starter or simply because they love stars.
Color's another great feature to play around with when choosing your star tattoos. Here are some common meanings of colors:
- White: Purity, honesty, spirituality
- Red: Passion, love, victory
- Green: Sexuality, fervor, ecology, natural connections, power
- Blue: Creativity, calm, universe, lightness and cheerfulness
- Purple: Depth, wealth, royalty, physical power
- Yellow: Intelligence, enlightenment, inspiration
Using these colors alongside your star design gives even more meaning to your lifelong star tattoo. Using a personal color can also give you a secret meaning to your tattoo. There's no telling the limits to your creativity if you're working with stars in your tattoo!
