Some star tattoos also have a religious meaning, like a Star of David tattoo.
The Star of David, a Jewish symbol, is a 6-pointed star and symbolizes the rule of god over the universe and his protection from all directions: North, South, East, West, Up and Down
Interestingly, though the Jewish faith prohibits tattooing, a Star of David tattoo is not uncommon!
