Design Story

The star is a widely used symbol in tattooing. It can indicate truth (it shines in darkness to show us the way), a standing point in someone´s life (often identified with love), or a place to return to.

In general, the star can have different meanings according to the number of tips.

The five pointed star, one of which upwards oriented like in this design, is surely the most famous; it symbolizes the fifth element of spirit raising above the four elements (the five elements in Eastern cultures).
