Re: Stars - What do they mean?

There's a book called Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia:

Check this link out right here

I flipped through this book and they had some explanation on that star. i don't remember what it was though, but I'm pretty sure it was originally a prison / political thing

That type of star is a nautical star found on old sailor's maps; but today it is symbolized by mostly punk-rockers i.e. Travis Barker of Blink 182.Kearney wrote:[img]http://www.tattoo-mania.at/bilder//phpJ5iybk1040987461[/img]

if it were a 5-6 point star, then it would be different.

An eight pointed star, that looks like the symbol on old map compasses represents a class of "zakonyi vor" which literally translates to "Thief by Law" it has the same meaning in the russian mob as a "made man" in the italian organization.
Russian prison tattoos are often of religious things, because i soviet times religion was outlawed and that showed like a rebelion toward the government and law. Another reason, my dad told me, is that the prisoners recieved routine beatings and sometimes having a religious icon tattood on you prevented the guards to strike that area.
I've seen the five pointed star on many Wiccan's and a girl that has the stars on her shoulders told me it signifies being wild in bed. she told me "they mark the holding places during her favorite position" I tested the theory. LOLLL

5 pointed stars, as noted, represent the Peoples Nation and each of its branches use the star in various ways, its origin stemming from Islam.
6 pointed stars, as also noted, represent the Folks Nation, and its branches use the star differently, its origin stemming from homage to David Barksdale, one of the GD's founders (GD=Gangster Disciples, the primary branch of the Folks Nation). There are Crips that use the star, but they are not supposed to do so.
Many Crips also believe they are supposed to use the 8 pointed star, out of reverence to the 8-Ball treaty (which was a fallacy). They aren't.
