Those who are drawn to constellation tattoos show their wonder of the wide universe and its connections to us, despite the stars’ distance from our world.
Because they’re fixed in the night sky, the patterns can guide you home and give reassurance, at least on a clear night. But the vision of your stars is always visible on your skin.
The tat of a woman that has just the pattern of stars shows a simplicity of outlook. She’s strong and independent, likes the symbolism but wants to see the connections for herself. Her tat could be on her arm, wrist, neck, etc. but is placed for her personal wonderment.
Stars connected with dotted or solid lines shows a love of basic connection with others and the wider world. Such a tat may be placed for her viewing and also for others.
The lines define the shape of the constellation but emphasizes the stars, staying true to their natural pattern.
A tat of the mountains with stars as a backdrop shows a yearning for the wildness of the unknown. If the tat is a scene with woods, water, and a campsite, this shows memories enjoyed and those yet to come, a love for sitting around a campfire and contemplating the hugeness that is our universe.
Constellations have mythological and astronomical meanings as well. Taurus, the cretin bull, is ordinarily a sign known for stubbornness, yet dependability. The feminine version of the Bull also represents serenity and a down-to-earth nature.
Cassiopeia is a powerful female symbol-the myth is that Poseidon was angered by her vanity and so he imprisoned her in her throne. Because of where she appears in the sky, she is inverted for six months of the year.
A woman with Cassiopeia shows her awareness of vanity as imprisonment from her true self.
