For first timers, or tattoo virgins, the sun tattoo design for girls is a great favorite. The symbolism and meaning of a star could account for its popularity plus the fact that it can be reduced to almost any size.

Symbolism of the sun
Sun tattoo design for women symbolizes a male even as the moon is its female partner. It comes as no surprise to find a tattoo design where the sun unites with the moon signifying male and female balance. Sometimes the earth takes the place of the moon.
In the ancient times the sun was considered the heart of the universe and therefore symbolized supremacy and power. In some pagan religions, the sun is endowed with divinity and a symbol of authority and even of wealth and prosperity. In the modern times, the sun tattoo design for women is considered as a symbol of hope and a brighter tomorrow since it never fails to rise every morning, or a symbol of fertility maybe because of its role in making plants thrive and grow. Women, most especially, endow the sun with emotional symbolism such as a symbol of resilience, cycle of life and strength.

How a sun tattoo is designed
The sun tattoo design for women is most frequently drawn with a circle in the middle with rays emanating from the circle. The rays are either drawn with straight lines or with a kris – like shape. The shape of the rays is not given any meaning or symbol but it does add to the appeal of the design. the colors range from yellow to orange to red and even at times in black.

Location of a sun tattoo for women
A sun tattoo can be drawn in any part of a woman’s body. Since it is easy to diminish its size, a sun tattoo design for women can be inked in the ankles, the nape, the wrist, the shoulders, the arms and even in the lower back. But the sexiest location for a sun tattoo is a woman’s navel. It will look great as a standalone but would blend beautifully also with other designs.
