Artist's Comments

You notice a lot of things in this picture. The star is the Faery Star, the 7 point star believed to symbolize the faeries/elves. It's also called the elven star. Each point represents something (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Light, Magic) or each direction (North, South, East, West, Above, Below, Within). The star itself represents pretty much everything - The spirit world.

As soon as I saw this star and learned about it, I knew it was for me.

The script around the star is the Elder Futhark Runes, which I have begun to learn. Starting from the moon symbol above it, they say : Magick, Valor, Dreams, Life, Love, Hope, Spirit, Heart, Mind, and Pride. 10 words that mean a great deal to me.

There are 10 symbols around the star that have meaning to me as well. My Libra sign, represeting me wanting balance in life. The sun and moon, the pentacle and triquetra (because I believe in the trinity of earth, sea, sky as well as the pentacle). And right under the pentacle, from left to right: The symbol for water, fire, air, and earth. And then last is the yin-yang, because I believe in the duality of people.

And you can obviously tell what the illustrations within the circle are. The butterflies in the last frame is ment to represent the spirit, because that's just as important to me as everything else.

This is for me, and only me. I've put a watermark on it, because I don't want any one else getting this on their skin but me. If you want to hang it on your wall, or something, that's cool. Just don't get it inked.

If your gonna do this as a tatto design you might want to make sure the circle is symetrical, use like a cd to trace one, or use Illustrator to layout the basic designs. Same goes for some of the line work, unless you want your tattoo artist to clean it up alot for you I'd suggest a ruler or tracing the symbols from something. Also the balance of the symbols on the outside is off, symetry is important in making the design work and you have to many symbols on the bottom opposed to the top, just make sure they're evenly spaced. As for the pain I wouldn't worry about it, everyone told me my ribs were gonna be unbearable and I didn't move at all, its all about focus.

Oh I know about it's imperfections. I did the star with the ruler, but didn't think of using a cd for the circle, thanks for that. As far as the symetry for the symbols on the outside, yes, they could be better. I pretty much eyeballed the distance in between. I just wanted to get the image out of my system. Maybe some time before I actually get the money to get it, I'll redue this design and clean it up.

That's so cool! you should design tattoos for a living! I love tattoos that have a secret meaning to them.
:iconkumikoeharu:
I wouldn't trust myself to design tattooes for other people... I just don't think it'd end well. As for tattooes with a meaning, I wouldn't have it any other way for me. Thanks for stopping by!

Wow....the septagram star is the rarest symbol in the oldest religion. I'm glad that you personalized it to your taste. Keep up the great work!!!
:iconkumikoeharu:
Thanks a lot! I was just automatically drawn to this symbol... 7 is my number, apparently, it keeps popping up in places. I just wanted to make it something closer to my heart. Thank you for your comment!

That is absolutely wonderful! Making a symbol for yourself! I like that! And its very New Age and very traditional of the old Pagan traditions... ^_^
