FLOWER TATTOOS

The modern re-inventing of an old tattoo, the red nautical star has a history of at least one

hundred years. Sailors found their way on the sea guiding themselves by the Southern Cross and

the Northern Star; as long as one of these two was visible,

the ship was on the right course. Sailors would therefore

wear nautical stars on their arms for

sheer superstition reasons, and to have higher chances to get home

safe. Compass stars were also popular for the very same reason of staying

on the right course at all times. This old belief is re-adapted in the new design of the red nautical

star. Click through here for additional info

Soldiers choose to wear a red nautical star for a purpose similar to that of the sailors’ in the

times of yore. Good decisions, luck and great fortune, bright spirits and a smooth safe life path, these

are the expectations behind the tattoo. The upward direction of the

nautical red star indicates a superior life vision, but personal choice makes the distinction. Different tattoo colors can be chose even if black and red

represent the classic; green and black, blue and black are

very often used too. The red nautical star variant misses the

black element as it stresses out the force of life and one’s vital energy.

People choose to give all sorts of meanings to the red

nautical star tattoos and often they also add a distinctive element that sets the design apart from the

traditional variant. A person wearing a red nautical star in a visible

place on the body may be willing to explain the meaning he or she gives to the tattoo. Thus, there are people who express their solidarity with those who

donate their organs, others envisage the tattoo as a

homage paid to a moment or person with a special significance in their lives, while others will go for the

red nautical star because it suggests good spirits and positive energy. You should gain

A nautical red star can be tattooed in any

salon, but you need to be careful about the choice so that all the hygiene conditions are

met properly. The size of the red nautical star depends on where you want to wear it. The arms, the legs and

the back make possible the design of a larger nautical star, but many people,

especially women would rather go for some little discreet tattoo that

emphasizes femininity and makes a point at the same time. You
