Nautical star tattoos that have four points supposedly originated from sailors. Some dispute the fact that it relates to a compass. A compass shows north, south, east, and west directions, which holds four points. This is also true for eight points, since today's compass points to southwest, southeast, northeast and northwest.
Five pointed stars are also known as a pentagram which represents power but it also has a very misunderstood meaning.
Religious folk say that the proper nautical star comes with six points; this is based on the belief that the Star of David had with six points. Also symbolizing the six points is the Pagan God Rampant.
