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 sparkled on the sky,

the ship was on the right course. Sailors would therefore

wear nautical stars on their arms for

sheer superstition reasons, and to increase 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 over here for additional information

Just like sailors, soldiers wear the read nautical star too, with the same idea of

getting home well in mind. 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 direction of the

nautical red star indicates a higher outlook on life, but personal choice makes the distinction. There are

other colors for the tattoo even if black and red

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

very often used too. 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 an additional

original element is included so as to set the design apart from the

traditional variant. There are red

nautical star wearers who have a story to tell about their tattoo. Thus, there are people who express their 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 triggers good spirits and positive energy. You can find

You can get a red nautical star tattooed in any salon, but you need to be careful about the choice so that all the hygiene conditions are

met properly. How

large the red nautical star will be depends on how you want to wear it. The arms, the legs and

the back allow for 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
