Shooting Star Tattoos

Why Do People Get Star Tattoos?

Bod mod elitists have always made fun of people with modifications they feel have become “common” and moved into the mainstream. In the past (and still now), the legions of people wandering about with kanji symbols tattooed on them became objects of derision, accused of wearing what they didn’t understand or relate to because someone told them it was the cool thing to do. Similar accusations of mutilatory exercises in conformity have been leveled at those with star tattoos, as over the past five years stars have become perhaps the single most common piece of tattoo iconography.

Modern Movie Tattoos

As actor’s bodies are their tools, it makes sense to stay as blank as possible to be able to adapt to any role. Makeup more often covers real life artwork like the lizard wearing a top hat on Nicolas Cage’s back, or the Chinese demon on Charlie Sheen’s shoulder. You may not have ever seen these tattoos on these actors as they are often camouflaged on film and in photo shoots. Utilizing the latest in makeup technology, theatrical tattoo designs can now be made highly detailed, in full-color and set to be water-proof and smudge-proof for the better part of a day or two’s shooting, closely approximating the often complex designs and fine details of modern style tattooing.

Art of Being a Star

For decades, tattoos were considered a lowly act of rebellion found only among groups like servicemen, bikers, and criminals. Having one came with a sizable amount of shock value. Rock musicians caught on and found that sporting a tattoo made a statement - it rejected the morality of the times. But even as early as the 1980's, tattoo artists only recall a handful of high profilers getting the skin art. Now tattooing is becoming mainstream and is considered by many to be a form of art. So what changed? Perhaps Hollywood had something to do with it? Big surprise.
