But do they mean something? Or is it just a tasteless tattoo?

u/Rymanbc 4d ago

Thats an unwritten rule. Never ask the meaning of the nautical stars. Broadly, it's about a safe return home or keeping your direction in life. But specifically, people tend to get these for very fucked up reasons, and the conversation is just better avoided. Like, "i do <insert bad thing>, and dont really intend to stop, but these star tattoos remind me to try to follow the right path".

I do meth, but I try to not let it control my life. These stars remind me to go to church and not beat my wife.

Me, an alcoholic wife beater reading this.

Well it certainly sounds like he needs it!
