Shooting star tattoos and other star designs are a very simple but popular type of tattoo. Why do people like shooting stars? They are a powerful symbol with many different meanings. Stars are also tattoo designs that can easily work on any part of the body.

A shooting star has always been a romantic symbol, which is why they are sometimes considered a feminine tattoo design. Shooting stars or asteroids also also evoke images of outer space and far away worlds. The shooting star is also an image of fast motion. This can make for a dynamic tattoo design. A skilled artist can convey the idea of movement, in a way similar to a simple movie reel, with the star appearing to soar across the body.

There are types of star symbols as well. The star, as made famous on the sidewalks of Hollywood, has also become a symbol of celebrity. A shooting star, or any kind of star, can therefore symbolize your hopes of achieving fame or status in life.

Stars can also be spiritual symbols, whether the five-pointed star of Wicca or the six-pointed Jewish star. There is also the lesser-known seven-pointed star, associated with fairies as well as the Pleiades.

Having a shooting star or other star symbol tattoo does not necessarily have to mean anything specific. A star can simply be an attractive mark on the body. As a tattoo design, stars are extremely versatile. They can be of any size or color, and they can mean whatever the wearer decides.
