I think tha stars are just a nice little design that people like.. There are also different kids of stars.. regular solid stars, outlined stars, and nautical stars. The STAR is one of the oldest tattoo designs.. In the days of Navy Men getting tattoos, it was nautical stars, an anchor, sparrows, and girls

is there any meaning to stars. Ive seen stars on both men and women. just curious if there is any hiddin meaning

I have three so far and truth be told they mean something to me individually. The nautical star/banner I have on my wrist is a permanent reference to my daughter and how she's my "shining star".
Star on my shoulders are more cosmetic in nature....I always wanted to get 'em when I was younger and recently pulled the trigger [after waiting forever on decent design]
:D

^^ this one is the All Seeing Eye of God - or The Christian Eye of Providence (3 sides, 3 lines=trinity) on the inside of my left arm, looking at my heart

^^ this one is as it seems Hosanna. it is a cry for salvation and a declaration of praise - very important to me as a guitarist in a worship band
