Sun Tattoo photos, designs, artists, descriptions…. HIGHLY recommend this article on all the places and kinds of sun tattoos on our planet. WOW.The sun has been an object of worship since man first roamed the earth. Hell, even the animals that were here long before man probably worshiped it as well. I have certainly seen my dog lay in the rays of the sun until I feared she might be cooked from the inside out. All the worship was for good reason. For, without the sun we would not exist. It provides light to work and play by, obviously, but most importantly creates the perfect temperature for existence. The sun quite literally and figuratively makes the world go ’round. It is the center of our universe and is a major force in how our days and years go by. It is the main source of energy on our planet, as without the sun plant life would fail to survive.
The sun, as it turns out, is really a star. It is the brightest star that we know of. Fittingly, it is the star of this post as well. Let’s take a look at fifty wonderful tattoos highlighting the universe’s brightest star. Here we will see it displayed all on its own as the star of the show and as a piece of greater art works as well.
