I’m thinking of getting a nautical star tattoo, I’ve searched it online and I’ve found many meanings to it and I’m still not sure of the true meaning.
Yes, it originated with sailors. It represents the north star & was supposed to be good luck & bring sailors home safely. I just got a star tattoo on my hand for my grandpa who died on May 30th. He was a Pearl Harbor survivor & covered in Navy tats, including the star. Other groups of people have since started using this tattoo but really is a sailor’s tattoo.
