  Once thought to be taboo, tattoos have become a large part of the mainstream culture. People get tattoos to represent spiritual strength, physical strength, to honor a belief system or to honor a loved one. Often times people get tattoos just to represent their love of something. If you are a girl who wants to get a star tattoo--for whatever reason--consider some of these options.
  
  

Shooting Stars

• Seeing a shooting star is a significant event as they are a phenomenon that is not seen every day. If you admire stars and you want to get a tattoo for a significant event in your life, consider a shooting star. For example, a shooting star tattoo would be ideal to honor a recent marriage or the birth of a child. Have two larger stars tattooed to represent you and your spouse, and have it trailed by smaller stars--one to stand for each of your children. If a loved one has recently passed, a shooting star can symbolize their life. Have the tattoo colored in your favorite hues or have it done in gray scale.
  
  

A Pentagram

• This five-sided star gets a lot of criticism as it is said to be associated with witchcraft and devil worship. In actuality, it is a pagan symbol. Each point of this star is symbolic. The upward facing point represents the spirit and the remaining four points stand for the elements--earth, air, wind and fire. It is said that the pentagram represents these things to indicate what makes up the spirit. If the elements and nature are significant to you, a pentagram tattoo may be the right choice for you.
  
  

Constellations

• Constellations have lit up the night sky and dazzled people for eons. The term refers to a group of stars that makes up a pattern. Records of constellations have been traced back to ancient Mesopotamia, though they are most often associated with the ancient Greeks, as many of the constellations we know are named for Greek gods. If astronomy is your forte or a particular constellation appeals to you, get a tattoo of it. For example, if your zodiacal sign is Taurus or Leo, have the constellation that represents that signs tattooed on you, with colorful stars representing the points of the constellation.
