A simple five-pointed star or the nautical star are the most popular designs of tattoos for ankle and foot. The nautical star is also associated with all the meanings mentioned above and is also identified easily. Hence, it is a favorite among men and women. Nautical star tattoos are either made with an ordinary star or a cluster of stars together or trailing one other. Secondly, a nautical star can also be drawn with a circle, heart, etc. around it. Stars in a heart is also one of the famous tattoo options for girls. In other case, shooting star tattoos are also very popular among star tattoo lovers. As wishing on a shooting star is an old tradition, shooting stars are associated with good luck and wish! Shooting star tattoo designs can also be accompanied by other elaborate designs like comets, flames, abstract designs, wings, etc.

Star tattoos for girls are usually made in delicate and intricate designs, while those for men are made in solid colors with lesser elaborate designs.
