What does a sun tattoo mean?

The sun stands for life, energy, positivity and new beginnings. Paired with a moon, it stands for balance between opposites.

Where to place a sun tattoo

Small suns suit the wrist, the ankle, behind the ear and the back of the neck. Larger detailed suns sit well centred on the sternum, upper back or shoulder.
