Nautical star Tattoos

Reasons for having the nautical star tattoo are many, but each one has they own definition for it. Historical evidence shows that sailors had this tattoo done first as it symbolizes the North Star which guides them back home when they are lost at sea. Sailors of yore were a superstitious lot and believed in many symbols which brought them good luck and kept them safe. The North Star was one of these symbols and they believed that tattooing it on their forearm would get them home safely. Later this also came to be a symbol which would guide you to your destination in life and help you to steer your way through troubles and reach your abode safely.

With lifestyles changing the meaning of this nautical star has also been through many different significances, and some groups believe that it is a symbol of being a lesbian or a gay. Punk groups and some military personnel also have the nautical star tattooed on their arms for different reasons. These varied reasons for putting this symbol on the body have people confused. The soldier would obviously have this tattoo on his arm so that he gets home safely from the troubled war fronts. The punk stars also have a reason for this symbol which is to guide them and help them to find a meaning in life.

The lesbians and gays had these done on the outside of their wrist to show their preferences a long time ago, and today it is done as a sign of binding with those who did it in the early days.
