I got this tattoo when I turned 18...Its on my right calf... I know the whole past behind it and that the sailors used it as a good luck charm to get them home safely and that it means a new beggining....I have also heard that lesbians get it (however that wasnt my case) :) But anyways I got it becuse it has many sides as do I and also it represents my past, and it also represents new begginings...like it?
Wow you people are so ignorant. A red and black nautical star had nothing to do with the gay/lesbian community. GOD FORBID someone might mistake you as a lesbian. On another note, the tattoo looks like it was done well, crisp lines.
I like it. I have one just like it but mine is PINK and black. [i heard that just the red and black is in the gay/les community]. Nice tattoo though, check out mine!
