Space – even just one – this word evokes a lot of associations, how multifaceted and meaningful this concept is. Surely it is precisely this multitude of meanings that has become the main reason for the incredible interest in space by artists who create designs for tattoos. If you share this interest, then it’s worth learning a little more about space tattoos.

The meaning of space tattoo

Under one word “space” it is worth understanding a lot of different motifs for tattoos – these are planets themselves, galaxies and black holes, but also any other drawings related to this theme. It is impossible to say that all motifs from the group of space tattoos are united by a single meaning. Quite rightly each motif is interpreted in its own way. But for your understanding it is necessary to cite several examples of tattoos, which are most often chosen by clients of tattoo salons:

• Galaxy or “milky way” as a set of stars and planets were called by the Greeks – this tattoo can speak of the depth and unexplored inner world;
• The image of a star is interpreted as the search for the only true path in life;
• Astronaut – this image can talk about the dream of the bearer of the picture to conquer the heights of space, both literally and figuratively. Very often you can find tattoo sketches depicting Yuri Gagarin, and the choice of such an image can be considered a tribute to this man;
• A constellation, and most often an image of a zodiacal patron according to the date of birth. Such tattoos are often depicted in combination with the image of the zodiac sign to which the owner of the tattoo belongs.

Separately we can highlight the tattoo with an astrological theme, which can also be attributed to the cosmos. Such symbols are mostly mystical and are used as talismans for different occasions. And if you do not need a talisman or amulet, but you want to shock the public very much, then it is worth considering tattoo sketches depicting UFOs, aliens and the like.
