The star's symbolism is radically altered depending on whether its facing up or down. A downward facing pentagram was though to mimic a rams head and was though to be a sign of the devil. In Celtic lore the Pentagram was thought to be a symbol of protection and balance.

The symbol, originally at least, was used by Pythagoreans in Ancient Greece. It was a symbol of health and membership. Also, inverted pentagrams contain within them normal pentagrams and vice versa, so also a yin yang element from the West is symbolized. Neither of these traits is probably what people who get tattooed with a pentagram have in mind.

i aim to get a pentagram on my hand as a symbol of our Divine origin and our unity. The universe may be inside a dodecahedron, which means each side is a pentagon, containing a pentagram. the pentagram is also filled with golden ratio relationships, and so symbolizes the UNITY of Existence more than most may be aware.
