Sun Tattoo Designs
The Navajo Indians, Aztecs, Egyptians, and many other cultures have worshiped the sun god at one time or another. In Egypt, the sun god was called Ra - portrayed with a hawk's head in many ancient characters. Celtics actually have an ancient sun god named Lugh. Native Americans talk about Tsohanoai, the god who brought the sun on his back - in the sky - day-to-day. At night, he hung the sun from a peg in his house. The sun is still shining a moment in today's tattoo.
Sun Tribal Tattoo Design
As cool as a tattoo of the sun was in the past, seems to have fallen by the roadside - was replaced by celestial bodies such as stars or the moon. This still holds its place in the background scene in the tattoo though. Tattoo depicting an eagle flying in blue sky, when the sun shine which extends from the wings, or wolf perched on a rock face as the sun slowly seeping behind the dark mountain background, still using the shadow of the sun as an assistant. Eagle shadow seemed to fall into the head. As someone who never got a tattoo to prove, shadowing is one of the most critical part of a tattoo.
The beauty of sun tattoos is not only the simplicity of shape, but the potential for adaptability in design. For instance, you could try a monotone antique woodblock, or a colorful Celtic mosaic. You can mix symbols to tell a personal story; the sun blossoming from the stem of a rose to symbolize burgeoning love, or glowing behind a religious symbol to show the warmth one gets from their personal faith.
Sun tattoos can be light hearted and simple, or deeply meaningful and highly elaborate. However you so choose to depict this ancient and extraordinary symbol, you will be certain to make a fantastic statement.
