Different Kinds Of Stars

When most people are asked to draw the shape of a star what immediately comes to
mind is the five pointed star, which is the one most of us learned to draw when we
were children. The five sided star, known as a pentagram, is one of the most powerful
yet misconceived symbolic representations of our modern times, although the shape
has been around for thousands of years. It is a popular belief today that a pentagram
star tattoo wearer is somehow connected to Satanism, but this belief is not entirely
correct. It is a known fact that there are indeed some Satanists who do favor the
pentagram star design but they usually show the pentagram upside down (where the
single point is downwards). By wearing this pentagram star design upside down it is
meant to symbolize the elements rule over spirit, hence the satanic implications.

On the other hand, there are a lot of different kinds of stars designs other than the
pentagram that we can use or consider for star tattoo ideas. You may wish to look at
the possible designs that could be combined with the 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.
