An artist can use shading in creating a star tattoo. This method is often used for tattoos in gray scale as the variations of color are only made with a black ink, and the intensity of each part is altered with multiple hues of black. Colored star type of tattoos can also easily be applied with shadings to give shadow or fade effects. On a technical note, this application can be used to give movement or mood to the elements of the image used for the tattoo.
