Sun Tattoos are probably very popular because the sun is an icon. All cultures place some significant meaning on the sun; negative or positive depending on the culture. Without the sun, there would be no life. With too much sun; all life would perish. Sun tattoo designs can be designed in a variety of different colors, sizes, and styles. Not all suns are yellow balls with rays shooting out of them: below you’ll find a wide and inventive range of interpretations, in discussion and in photographs. Because there are so many different ways to design a sun, this makes for some interesting and unique tattoos. The Celtic, tribal, and black sun tattoo are just a few of the different styles possible with this design. Two of the most common meanings of the sun tattoo is truth and light. Many people believe that the sun gives light to guide us through dark times. Anyone that has survived difficulty may consider a sun tattoo to represent that. It is also a sign of the wearer’s troubled past, a dark time that changed after they saw the light. For them, this tattoo might be a visual reminder of the darkness that preceded the light of day.
