FLOWER TATTOOS

The red nautical star is a modern adaptation of a century-old tattoo. The

North Star and the Southern Cross were the two sparkling dots on the sky that showed sailors their way

on the sea at night; as long as one of these two was visible,

the ship was on the right course. Sailors would therefore

tattoo 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. The red nautical star is a modern recreation of this

old belief or tradition. Click through here for more information

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

times of yore. The symbol of guidance and good fortune, this star is trusted

to show one the right direction in life, influencing the person who wears it to make the good

decisions. The upward pointing of the

nautical red star indicates a superior life vision, but personal choice makes the distinction. There are

other colors for the tattoo even if black and red

are the classical ones; green and black, blue and black enjoy popularity as well. Without the black color

included in the design, the red nautical star symbolizes just the energy of the life force.

People choose to attach all sorts of connotations 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 show solidarity with organ donors, others envisage the tattoo as a

memento or form of

remembrance for a life episode or a person, while others will go for the

red nautical star because it suggests optimism and

vitality. You should find
