What does a red star tattoo mean?

Originally worn by sailors, red star tattoos indicate working on the port, or left, side of a ship. Stars have come to be a symbol of strength and honor as well as feminine energy.

The color red is a hue that denotes energy, strength and passion. Since stars also mean intuition and guidance, a red star tattoo could also mean that the wearer is passionate about being guided by their inner thoughts and feelings. Red is also the color of love, and stars indicate that a person is letting his inner light shine. A red star tattoo could be a sign that the wearer wants love to be a guiding force in his life.
