The Best Moon & Star Tattoo Ideas

4.9· 107 reviews · 18 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.

10/10 experience from start to finish! My two friends and I decided to get tattoos together, and he was amazing enough to accommodate all three of us in one day! He was incredibly patient, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire process. Not to mention, he’s super light-handed, which we ALL appreciated! The conversation was great, the vibes were even better, and he made the whole experience so comfortable and enjoyable. It was actually one of my friend’s first tattoos, and she loved the experience so much that she’s already planning her next one! We’ll definitely be back, and I’ve already started recommending him to my friends and family.

Definitely a great experience! Super professional, easy to talk to, and really knows how to bring your vision to life. I’m already loving how my tattoo is coming together, and we’re only on the first session! The shop was clean, the atmosphere was comfortable and laid-back, and the pricing was fair. You can tell she takes pride in her work. Looking forward to coming back and finishing it up!
