Nautical Star Tattoos


I've never seen the nautical star tattoo executed like this. While I usually see it on the wrists of 'dudes who look like they are in an alternative local band that makes music that sounds like what was popular in alt-rock 7 years ago', I've never seen 3 chest tattoos of these stars.

Stars: The Most Overrated Symbol of All Time?
(or is it the Triangle?)

Most people seem to opt for the Mexican-cursive styled chest tattoos, like the font that you'd see airbrushed on a 16 year old Mexican girl's personalized t shirt. I respect people with innovative chest tattoos.

I guess that begs the question...is being 'an airbrushed tshirt artist' a gateway job towards 'being a tattoo artist?' Or is it a gateway job towards 'being a dude on a street corner who makes interplanetary 3d art while crowds of tourist drool over his 'skills' '?

Read "Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates" by Tom Robbins, you will learn that triangles are most definitely not over-rated.

"'Begging the question' is a form of logical fallacy in which an argument is assumed to be true without evidence other than the argument itself. When one begs the question, the initial assumption of a statement is treated as already proven without any logic to show why the statement is true in the first place."http://begthequestion.info/Begging the question: Big in 2009?

Star tattoos are ways for people to say they are in the same social group. Like the dude with the hemp necklace looking for dope-dependant peoples with other hemp necklaces, the starred person will flock to his or her peoples - wide banded watch at the ready, perhaps a "hardcore" belt around the waist, and a small Fidel Castro Hat... I give them some credit, at least they know how to play the game, it just seem that so many with star tattoos are a bit selfish.
