New Tattoo Designs – The Shooting Star

June 13, 2008



Everywhere you look there are more and more tattoos showing up on everyone. What used to be dubbed as rebellious or reserved for troublemakers, even the most innocent and law-abiding people are sporting ink.

Tattoos have been gaining a lot of popularity in the past years, celebrities are showing them off left and right and we are seeing them on virtually every kind of person. Whatever person’s reasons are for getting a tattoo, it is interesting to know what kind of designs are popular, and what they mean.

Some people tend to get tattoos that have a special meaning to them, or are symbolic in some way to their lives. Yes, tattoos have come a long way since the traditional skull and cross bones, or the “I love Mom” inks of the past. So what is a popular tattoo design?

Surprisingly, it might not be what you think, or what comes to mind when you think about tattoo designs, it is the shooting star. From the magical beauty in the sky, right to your arm – the shooting star is making a big impact in tattoo design.

The meaning of a shooting star is different to a lot of people and throughout a lot of cultures. Some believe it is the symbol of new beginnings, while others believe it is a symbol of a brief time in one’s life where a lot is different and time seems to stand still.

No matter what meaning a shooting star has to you, there is definitely something majestic and beautiful about watching a shooting star cross the night sky, leaving a trail of stardust in its path. It is a symbol to many of hope and beauty and the possibilities of new beginnings and new experiences.

There are many different ways to depict a shooting star through tattoo design. Some choose to make the leading star bigger and brighter and have a trail of smaller, duller stars behind it. Some choose to symbolize the leading star as the smaller star, and leave brighter stars behind it, symbolizing the opportunity of bigger and better things to come.

If you are looking to add a shooting star to your body in form of a tattoo, the options are endless. Research online if you would like to find a picture of what you want, or most tattoo shops have galleries of their own where you can pick one from. You can also work directly with the tattoo artist to design and color your own unique shooting star.
