I developed a fondness for "wee" in high school when my best friend and I added it to our vast vocabulary of subtle ways to belittle things. It was usually paired with a hyper-ironic <i>li'l</i>.

I guess I can answer for myself (since my <a href="http://arielmeadow.com/51675/backtattoo.JPG">unfinished back work has three wee stars as part of it</a>) and say that mine is a commentary on my obsession with participatory entertainment, i.e., each one of us is a star. Also: that is a total lie. I have no idea why I picked three stars, and I have no idea why anyone else does, either. But I do know that <i>my stars are upside down</i>. All that said, you're opening a can of worms (with me, at least) by asking what a tattoo <i>signifies</i>. Like all art, tattoos are open to interpretation. What does a tweety bird on some girl's ass <i>signify</i>? Maybe that she likes tweety, but maybe just that she wanted to get marked up. What does a bit of tribal work on some frat boy's arm <i>signify</i>? Maybe that he's a maorian warrior, but maybe just that he thought it looked cool. What does a star <i>signify</i>? Depends on the person. It's simply and symmetrical, that's why I like 'em. (Don't mean to get all ranty, but I have strong tattoo theories built up over 18 months of dating a tat artist.)
