The Best Moon & Star Tattoo Ideas

4.9· 122 reviews · 15 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.

Mike did a piece after my son was born and it is my absolute favorite tattoo on my body. It definitely has a special place in my heart and on my body! Mike killed it with a gentle touch!! I love showing it off and have gotten so many compliments. He even does touch ups when the color starts to fade. He makes me feel validated when I come to him with any concerns. Can’t wait for my next piece!!! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone

For starters , I came in with such a scary attitude because I was nervous for such a big piece. He kept me calm and made sure I stayed calm which is always very appreciated! We also spent over an hour deciding on placement because I was just so indecisive lol he was extremely patient and didn't have a problem with it at all! Took as many breaks as wanted and made sure that everything was okay in the end. Very calm and patient man and will definitely be coming here again. Also stated that touch ups were free which is also always amazing! Again thank you!
