Today, one of the more popular tattoo designs being adorned by both men and women is the sun tattoo. Throughout the centuries significant meaning has developed in various cultures, yet the basic symbolism of the sun remains fairly clear, the sun is the giver of life (well OK, so are females, but we’ll skip that debate). Without the sun, all living things would perish. The sun is a timeless choice for a tattoo design as you can have a traditional as well as a modern design depicting the sun.
The design here depicts both modern artistry in the form of coloring as well as the traditional tribal sun tattoo design.
One of the most important meanings of the sun is that it symbolizes eternal renewal and stands for truth and light. In addition to truth and light the sun design also has these meanings: vitality, vigor, power, force, leadership, dignity, courage, creativity, knowledge, and selfhood.
The tribal flash design shown her is easily adaptable to a custom pattern. I have heard of folks inking the names of their children on each of the flame projectiles that the sun gives off. Obviously, this design would have to be modified to accommodate the number of children being celebrated.
The most common symbol of the tribal sun is as shown above; a circle with the sun's rays emerging from the core. The tribal sun tattoo usually incorporates the swirls and clean lines of the tribal tattoo design with the recognizable mark of the sun. The tribal sun design with a human face in the middle is believed to provide protection from the dangerous or negative aspects of life. Another notable meaning of the sun tattoo is that as the sun sets and rises every day it represents rebirth or reincarnation, indicative of immortality.
