July 29th, 2009
do they mean anything?
I have a blue and black one on my foot at the tip of smaller shooting stars to represent guidance and my lifes direction. They are originally based from sailors and they used the north star for direction at sea…however they more modernly by some yet not all can be used to rep punk rockers or gay and lesbian communities. I went in detail with my artist of specific colors and placement because it was important to me that it fit the exact way I wanted to symbolize my life and goals…As long as your tattoo means something to you thats the point!

It has an old sailor meaning.. something about following the stars by night and nothing by day or something. I got mine tho bcuz my best friend was going to get a green star on each wrist. She died before she could, so I stole her appointment and got a single nautical star on my left wrist to signify that I am half gone without her.
