Feathers are usually associated with birds or wings or Native American imagery in most tattoo designs!. A single feather as a tattoo design may represent or symbolize the ability to take flight, either spiritually, emotionally or creatively!.

Some feathers are so distinctive in their shape and size that they are easily identified with a specific species of bird, such as the feathers of the Eagle, Peacock, Ostrich Plume, and Egret, just to name a few!. Such a feather would represent the characteristics attributed to that bird!.

Many Native American cultures held Eagle feathers to be sacred and they were seen as powerful symbols of Chiefs, Elders, Shamans, Healers and Medicine Men!. The eagle feathers assisted these individuals in having their prayers and wishes guided to their intended Spirits and Gods!. Eagle feather were often used to fan smoke in a similar fashion!. Warriors used eagle feathers in their battle dress to summon the courage, strength and qualities associated with the eagle, and eagle feathers decorated shields, spears, other weapons and personal clothing!.
Stars are often encountered as symbols, and many cases the meaning of a particular star symbol may depend upon the number points it has, and sometimes the orientation of these points as well!. As a light shining in the darkness, the star is often considered a symbol of truth, of the spirit and of hope!. The symbol of the star embodies the concept of the divine spark within each of us!. Their nocturnal nature leads stars to represent the struggle against the forces of darkness and the unknown!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the design sounds lovely--the combination of the star and feather is very sky-oriented, transient, but also suggests a sort of strength!. i don't know, though--i think the great thing about what you've chosen is that the design is abstract enough to mean something different to everyone!. what's important, obviously, is what it means to you!.

as someone with a lot of tattooing experience, however, i can't help but give you a bit of advice (even though most people who are about to get a tattoo don't really want to hear it, which i can appreciate)!.
1: PICK A GOOD TATTOO ARTIST!. do your homework on this!. the last thing you want to is to pay time and blood and discomfort and then have a crappy tattoo!.
2: it really is a good idea to sit with your design for a while before you commit to it!. try drawing it on first (or get a friend to do it) and see how you like it!. especially if you want it somewhere so visible, like your hand!. it's really easy to be impulsive about tattoos (i have a couple that i sorely regret), and i don't think people realize how very permanent they are until it's too late!. just try out your design in pen first, see how you feel about it!.
good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't have the answer to your question, however, if you plan on getting a tattoo, please think hard on it becuase it will never come off and as you get older it will look all smudged and ugly!. Why not just put a temporary one on when you go out!.!.!.!?

Just think about it, you sound young and I promise you when you get older you may regret it big time!.
