Sun Tattoo Photo #1877

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.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

The wrist offers a compact area that suits fine-line work, small symbols, and script. Its visibility means the tattoo becomes part of daily life, always in the wearer's line of sight.
