“Great tattoo.” “Yes, I wanted a fine and discreet tattoo. I did it a few years ago, when I returned from a road trip in Sweden”. If you’re on vacation by the pool with friends, this scene is confusingly banal. Unless… A survey of the origin of this trend shows a completely different interpretation, much more symbolic and dangerous for the people living with them.
The tattoo of stars connected by dots (STF, “Star fine point tattoos”, in English) is an underground code relating to hard-fucking, reserved for connoisseurs where omerta is omnipresent.
What are we talking about ?
It is a tattoo representing one or more stars, usually small and thin, connected by a path of dots (Dotwork). It would represent a kind of graduation scale linked to a record of sexual openness and disposition to the practice of a very liberated sexuality oriented “extreme”. This vision of sexuality, which emerged in Sweden in early 2010, consists of living a seemingly normal family life by having “conforming” sexual relations with their spouse while developing a very free sexuality, see a scoring on the positions , the quantity or the partners without it being known to those around him.
The secret of this distinctive sign, often tattooed on a visible area (arms, legs, etc.), is a key shared by the whole community, which is explained by the secret vision of extreme and free sexuality when they are recognized and hidden on their everyday life.
Live all your fantasies, perform without having to be watched by loved ones “Everyone has fantasies, we live them, we do without thinking, we perform… And the more stars there are, the more relationships we multiply, the more points there are, the further we go in the act, finally the acts”, explains Lina Hahne, author of STF – Secret to live (Ed. Verona).
