Moon, Sun and Space Tattoos

Sky tattoos tell of cycles and balance: the sun and moon symbolize the union of night and day, two opposing but complementary forces, while the moon phases stand for change and renewal. That's why these designs often mark the end of a chapter or a new beginning.

Planets, orbits and astronauts, on the other hand, are tattoos of curiosity and imagination. Worked in fine line and dotwork, these designs stay crisp even at small sizes; horizontal compositions like the moon phases look very stylish on the nape, the collarbone and the inner forearm.

Things to know about Moon, Sun and Space Tattoos

Horizontal or vertical?

Sequential designs like the moon phases and the solar system flow best horizontally, and comets in vertical or diagonal placements. Try rotating them in the try-on tool.

Space between the dots

If star dots are too close together, they merge over time. Keep dots sparse in small designs.

As a couple tattoo

The sun and moon, as two people's complementary halves, are also one of the most loved ideas for couple tattoos.
