Many people who have a soft spot for astrological science and naval operations prefer nautical star tattoos. A Nautical star is symbolic and its design is usually a bold five-edged star that has dark and light shades alternating on the edges. The nautical star tattoo designs are mainly a stylish drawing of the star followed by a constellation that shows a sequence of stars or lines with flowers or another design at the end. These types of pictures are usually designed at the base or origin and a different design is added stylishly connecting to the star. It could have a sharp ending that is most likely a diversion of different star lines forming a constellation. The size of the nautical star tattoo is the main determinant of the part of the body where the tattoo will be designed. For the back, the chest, and the area around the stomach, nautical tattoos fit in well and look original. Other places include the back of the neck and on the arm.
The nautical stars are also a symbol that shows relation to the US navy. Here, they are a symbol of protection and a guide to a safe home return. The early day sailors who used the tattoos as a compass developed this tradition. They would correctly navigate around the sea and these sailors even believed that the stars could not let them down by getting them lost in the sea. Nowadays, the nautical tattoo is for not only the navy soldiers and the sailors but the meaning has not changed much.

The traditional nautical star tattoo was multicolored. This is according to the ancient three-dimensional tattoos that were five pointed with a line that ran from point to point splitting the points into halves. These triangles that were formed were then painted differently. First the colors were black and white and they changed to black and red and later on the colors were improved to give illusion to the three dimensional tattoo. In Ireland, the nautical star has a different meaning.
