Across every nation, around the globe, sun design tattoos have been exposing their valor to remind people of another wonderful day.
At the center of the Earth’s solar system, the sun gives light and heat to a planet that would otherwise be a barren rock. The ancients understood the power of the sun. Every living thing on earth would die quickly without the life giving rays from that fiery ball.
Since before the rise of man, the sun has supplied the planet with the heat and light necessary for all life as we know it. Long after we are gone, it will continue to shine on our descendants. The sun is like a living entity and like all living things, it will one day die and life in our solar system will cease. That day is so far in the future that we cannot even imagine it.
Many early cultures worshipped the sun as a god. For the Egyptians the sun was Ra, and the pharaoh that ruled Egypt was supposed to be his descendant. For the Greeks, the sun was Apollo who rode through the sky in a fiery chariot. In Central America the Aztecs made sacrifices to the sun.
Other cultures have worshipped the sun, prayed to it, made sacrifices to it and paid homage to it in their own ways. Myths about how the sun came into existence are part of all cultures.
Due to the magnificent mythologies often associated to the sun, there are varieties of sun tattoos that show the richness of the sun’s imagery. Some people go for a combination of the sun and moon, which stands for the man-woman equality in some cultures.
Tribal tattoos often depict the sun in their imagery. Popular among the tribal tattoos today is the Aztec symbol of the sun. The Aztecs depicted the sun as a large ball with flames, or sometimes triangles emanating from it. Aztec calendars usually are place around a sun symbol.
Because the sun rises and sets each day, primitive cultures considered it a sign of rebirth. Often tattoos of the sun are accompanied by the moon and stars. The moon is a symbol of the feminine and the sun is a symbol of the masculine for many cultures. There is also the imagery of dark and light, good and evil, when these symbols appear together.
