The Best Moon & Star Tattoo Ideas

4.9· 105 reviews · 17 artists

Moon and star tattoos read as guidance, growth, and wonder: a crescent for phases and change, stars for direction and memory. They sit beautifully small on the wrist or ankle and scale up into detailed celestial scenes across the forearm or spine.

Michael did a great job!!! I am obsessed with how straight his lines are lol he was very personable and went above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable even to letting you pick the music playing. Will definitely be back for more work

Erick was amazing from start to finish. He was so thorough in explaining how the session was going to go, what his ideas were, and what he put together. He was sooo friendly and personable the entire time, I will absolutely be back for my next piece. I love how my tattoo turned out and I can’t wait until next time!
