Nautical Star Tattoos Are Coming Back

Nautical star tattoos are making a comeback as tattoo choices, along with shooting star tattoos. There's just something about stars that evoke hope, that imply the future and the fact that the stars are the limit. For this reason, stars of all kinds are finding their way onto people's bodies. The nautical star tattoo is something you seriously want to think about before you agree to have it imprinted permanently onto your skin. Nautical star tattoos involve very straight lines, along with other straight lines that mark the points of direction. For that reason, your artist had better have a very straight hand or else your nautical star tattoo isn't going to come out anything like you want it.

Finding Your Tat

People choose their tattoos in various ways. Some like to draw them personally, provided they have some artistic talent. Some like to just choose their tattoos off the wall of the tattoo parlor. And some like to choose designs out of magazines or other print media. However you go about choosing your nautical star tattoo, you need to think about a few things. You need to consider the size of the nautical star tattoo, the color, the actual design, as nautical stars can look differently depending on who draws it, and you need to consider where you're going to get it. All of these things need to be considered before you go through with getting a nautical star tattoo; at least if you hope for it to come out as perfectly as you imagine.

Choosing An Artist

There are some tattoos that are easy enough that pretty much any artist can do them. Nautical star tattoos are definitely not one of those types of tattoos. A nautical star tattoo is intricate and only an artist with a very straight hand can do one justice. Gauge your tattoo artist by his or her previous tattoos. Ask to see the previous tattoos they've done, ask to watch them draw in front of you a nautical star to see if they can actually pull it off and then stress to them that you want the nautical star tattoo as perfect as possible.

If you think that any of this is going to annoy or anger your tattoo artist, consider that tattoos are permanent and while you can get them removed, the removal process isn't as complete as everything thinks it is. A nautical star tattoo can make a great tattoo but you want to really think about it before you actually get one done.
