The Best Moon & Star Tattoo Ideas

4.9· 135 reviews · 16 verified 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.

Great experience. He communicated well the whole time, answered any questions I had, and made sure everything was what I wanted. He was professional, easy to work with, and did a great job. Definitely recommend him.

I came to Eric with one main goal: I needed a name completely covered, and I honestly wasn't sure what could be done with it. I gave him a few ideas, but ultimately trusted him as the artist to create something that would actually work as a cover-up and I'm so glad I did. The difference is amazing. You cannot tell there was ever a name underneath the new tattoo. He incorporated my butterfly into the design and created a beautiful piece that looks intentional instead of looking like a cover-up. The detail, color, shading, and especially the blue butterfly came out beautifully. Eric was also straightforward with me about what would/wouldn't work, which I really appreciated. He wasn't just going to give me something because I asked for it if he knew it wouldn't translate well or hold up as a tattoo. I trusted his professional judgment, and the finished result speaks for itself. I'm already planning to come back so we can continue the piece and either enhance or rework my other butterfly. Definitely recommend Eric, especially if you're looking for an artist who can take your ideas and create something you'll love.

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!
