Now days, the symbolic meaning has taken a bit of a spin but not far off what the sailors used this tattoo to symbolize. Today, when people get a Nautical Star Tattoo it can come with various meanings to them, some in remembrance of a sailor or solider in their life, with others it can mean direction in their own life. Stars tattoos have never been fixed to any one religion or way of life. It appears though that guidance is the universal definition of nautical star tattoos, whether it is personal guidance or remembering where one was and where they are headed in life.
Ireland looks at the nautical star as a sign of good health, whereas the gay and lesbian community get nautical stars tattooed on their inside wrist to symbolize unity their relationship preference. Many punk rockers also sport the nautical star tattoos. Aaron Carter sports one on his is on his right arm. It is said that when the star is pointed up (say on the arm, the longest point would be facing towards the sky) it symbolizes that person has a brighter outlook on life situations.
Nautical star tattoos are a very popular design, once worn primarily by sailors and soldiers can now be found on many different individual in all walks of life. This universal design brings a constant reminder of what one seeks out of their life, their path, and goal destinations.
