Shooting Star Tattoos

Shooting star tattoos come in a wide variety of different designs and colours, they are one of the most popular types of tattoo today. Because of this flexibility in size and shape they can be adapted to appear pretty much anywhere on the human body.

As a symbol, shooting stars represent wishes and desires. Everyone was told as a young child that wishing on a shooting star on a clear evening would lead to all your dreams coming true. Many people who decide to get one of these tattoo designs wear it as a sign that their own particular wish will come true one day or as a reminder to work towards their personal goals.

Stars have been used decoratively throughout history. This is due to man's fascination with the night sky and the fact that some cultures used to believe that stars represented the souls of the dead.

In general women tend to get shooting star tattoos. They lend themselves very well to the lower back and belly button areas. By changing the style, the width of lines and the colours you can design a truly original tattoo which fits your personality and taste exactly.
