Nautical Star Tattoos

I've never seen the nautical star tattoo executed like this. While I usually see it on the wrists of 'dudes who look like they are in an alternative local band that makes music that sounds like what was popular in alt-rock 7 years ago', I've never seen 3 chest tattoos of these stars.
Stars: The Most Overrated Symbol of All Time?
(or is it the Triangle?)
Most people seem to opt for the Mexican-cursive styled chest tattoos, like the font that you'd see airbrushed on a 16 year old Mexican girl's personalized t shirt. I respect people with innovative chest tattoos.
I guess that begs the question...is being 'an airbrushed tshirt artist' a gateway job towards 'being a tattoo artist?' Or is it a gateway job towards 'being a dude on a street corner who makes interplanetary 3d art while crowds of tourist drool over his 'skills' '?
