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.
