Does anyone know the significance of the star tattoo worn by Brasilian TS girls?

I don't know the answer, but I'm surprised to be the first one to post a picture of Brazilian flag. The array of stars on the flag is somewhat similar to the tattoos in question, but denser.

I have noticed similar tattoos on Brazilian men. I think they may be a nationalist symbol related to football. Football is huge in Brazil, and a lot of the models are soccer fans -- judging from the number of photoshoots they do that involve playing soccer as a group or posing as individuals in uniforms.
