One of the most universally popular tattoo designs is the sun. Many cultures have used their own stylized representation of this symbol of life to decorate their bodies. Across all of the continents and islands of the Earth, this symbol, in it's many forms, remains constant. It stands for infinity, rebirth and fertility in every part of the world.

Positioned at the center of the solar system, the sun has always been the most important feature in the sky. While ancient cultures gave homage to the moon and stars, they worshipped the sun as a god. With out the sun there could be no life on planet Earth.

The sun has shone in the daylight sky for billions of years before man existed, and it will continue to shine for billions of years on the people of Earth. Our lives are are not even a tiny fraction of the life of the sun. One day, in a future so far off as to unimaginable, the sun will die and life in our solar system will cease. Until then we will depend on its heat and light.

From the ancient Greeks in Europe, to the Egyptian in Africa to the Aztecs of Central America, cultures around the world have worshipped the sun god. The Egyptians called him Ra and believe their ruler was descended from him.. to the Greeks he was Apollo driving a blazing chariot across the sky.
