Star Tattoo – The Meaning of Points
When looking for a simple star tattoo, you will be met by an endless array of choices. It's not as simple as it might sound. These tattoos are very popular, and since they can be arranged in many ways with groups of stars and planets, have small or large stars, have different types of stars, and be tattooed almost anywhere on the body, the choices are many.When searching through types of star tattoos the first thing to look at is the numeric meaning, as stars can have any number of points from four to nine, with each star having a different meaning. The plus sign type of four-pointed star was made popular by Native Americans, who used it on their art and clothing.
Among five-pointed stars, there are different types of meanings for tattoos. The filled-in five-pointed star is the most commonly used, and seen in celestial star group tattoos. This star also represents the Lone Star of Texas. The pentacle is an outlined five-pointed star and is popular to witches and pagans to mean a search for divine knowledge or feminine energy. The points on this star represent the elements in life. The reverse pentacle, the upside down outlined five-pointed star, is often associated with satanism.
The six-pointed star is used for the Jewish Star of David and also the Star of Remphan, a pagan god. If your tattoo is of a seven-pointed star, it symbolizes the perfect man. If the star is inside a square, it means finite. This is also the star worn by the police. An eight-pointed star represents the cross of St. John, and is the star worn by firefighters. The nine-pointed star is known as the nine-fold Goddess and represents the Baha'is' faith.
