With so many different body art designs for men available today, it can be difficult to find one that suits your purpose and making your choice can prove somewhat daunting to say the least. It is therefore important to first decide where you want the design placed as this will limit the available options depending on whether you want it to cover a small surface of skin or prefer placement on a larger body part. Fortunately, there are many images that are versatile enough to be scaled to suit a variety of different placement areas and these include popular star tattoos for men. 
These can be incorporated into small, medium or large designs, as a stand alone image or incorporated with other imagery if required but they also look great in both monochrome and multi-colored ink styles. There are a variety of different designs to choose from which offer both aesthetic and symbolic value so let us consider some of the most favored designs that are in wide demand by male body art enthusiasts today.
One of the most popular masculine body art designs featuring the star is the nautical star, which has been around for centuries in one form or another but has also seen a revival in recent decades too. This is a five pointed star that was generally inked in dark red and lighter shades of green or blue to resemble a compass rose and it was a popular design favored by mariners in days gone by. Sailors often had tattoos that served as a lucky talisman, to guide them safely across the seas and to ensure they found their way home safely. In its modern form, this particular celestial image, at its most fundamental, simply serves as an internal compass helping the individual to find their way in life. A nautical star is frequently depicted with angel wings and inked on the shoulder to represent a guardian angle watching over the wearer and guiding them on their path through life. These particular star tattoos for men are also popular on their own for placement on prominent areas such as the shoulder, bicep, forearm and even on the lower arm, close to the wrist. These are also synonymous with those serving in the forces at sea and many marines or naval personnel can be found sporting such a design.
There are also more contemporary designs featuring star tattoos for men and these include those done in the style of tribal artwork which gives this image a more abstract feel. Among the most popular styles are those emulating Polynesian or Celtic design in a single dark ink color, as a solitary star on its own, as a shooting star or even using multiple images depicting clusters of each. Designs of this kind may also feature additional celestial bodies such as the sun and moon for more elaborate designs of this kind. In this respect the star offers positive connotations of hope, joy and truth but it is also a very spiritual image that has been used as a body art symbol by ancient tribes and civilizations for millennia.
