Starborn Crest
Cosmic Family Portrait
This design began with a simple idea: family — but not in ordinary terms. Starborn Crest is a geometric tribute to ancestry, time, and origin. Two dragons and a tiger stand at its heart, representing the client’s parents and brother through their Chinese zodiac signs. The moon phases honor her dog Luna. Juniper sprigs flank both sides, for her other dog, Juniper. A star blossoms from the flower of life at the base, symbolizing that we are, quite literally, children of stardust. Created at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley, CA, this is a modern family crest — drawn in sacred lines and cosmic memory.
7 Powerful Symbols Behind the Tattoo
• Black-and-grey fine-line tattoo with intricate geometric detailing
• Two dragons and one tiger symbolize the client’s parents and brother
• The star over the flower of life at the base symbolizes the Big Bang — the family’s cosmic origin
• Triangular motif at the top with 3 small triangles and one larger one shows family structure and evolution
• Moon phases represent the passage of time — and honor her dog, Luna
• Juniper branches on each side reference her second dog, Juniper
• Tattoo was placed on the thigh during a guest session at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley, CA
Starborn Crest is a deeply symbolic fine-line tattoo that bridges celestial mythology with personal heritage.

The use of sacred symbols—flower of life, lunar cycles, and triangle structures—evokes themes of ancestry, time, and growth. As with many pieces by 1MM Tattoo, the design is custom-built to carry real meaning beneath the surface. Tattooed at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley, California, it reflects our studio’s passion for high-concept storytelling through ink — blending tattoo art, spiritual geometry, and personal memory in one living canvas.

Bonus: The Crest of Eternal Return
In a realm where stars are born from memory, two dragons stood watch over a great celestial bloom — the flower of life. They guarded the light not with fire, but with love. From this stardust sprang a tiger, radiant and wild, whose path was guided by shifting moons and rooted junipers. The dragon parents marked his journey with sacred triangles — signposts of growth and guardianship. Time passed in lunar arcs. Across galaxies, their crest would reappear, drawn not in firelight, but in ink. Some would call it a tattoo. Others would recognize it as what it truly was: a cosmic inheritance, passed down through symbols, silently etched on the skin of someone who remembered what it meant to be born of stars.
