Across world mythologies the sun represents vitality, truth, and the cycle of day and night. From Egyptian Ra to Aztec Tonatiuh, solar imagery offers tattoo artists a symbol that is both ancient and universally understood.

Originating from centuries-old cultural practices, tribal designs carry symbolic weight through their patterns and placement. Modern tribal tattoos adapt these traditional motifs into contemporary compositions that honor the style's heritage.

The chest is a bold placement choice that stays mostly concealed under clothing. Its proximity to the heart makes it a popular spot for meaningful symbols, text, and portrait work.
