About this design

What the design shows

This small sun design centers on an open circle with a clear, unmarked middle. Sixteen separate straight rays radiate around it: longer strokes point upward, downward, sideways and diagonally, while shorter strokes fill the spaces between. Each ray stops short of the circle, leaving a visible gap that keeps the outline and rays distinct. The black line weight stays even across the ring and its surrounding marks, with open skin doing the work of the center rather than ink fill. The open center and bare ring carry the design’s focus, leaving the alternating rays as its sole decorative rhythm. In the inner-wrist preview, the motif sits upright along the arm and leaves open space around its outer tips. Its restrained detail gives the design a different feel from a shaded or illustrative sun, while the alternating rays provide the main rhythm.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview centers the sun on the inner wrist, with the circle aligned to the arm and the rays spreading evenly around it. This placement gives the round motif a clear viewing angle while leaving skin around the outer tips. The inner forearm offers a broader area for the same radial shape, especially if more space around the rays is preferred. Review the stencil with the wrist relaxed and bent; the design relies on the circle staying visually round and the gaps between each ray and ring remaining clear.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

The sun forms a compact supporting motif with rays extending in every direction, so it can balance longer neighboring pieces such as a stem, a narrow moon or a small ornamental line. Leave an open buffer around the ray tips to preserve the separated strokes. It can sit between larger tattoos as a light focal mark, or pair with other small celestial shapes placed as independent elements. Keep nearby lines from pointing directly into the circle, which helps the sun retain its distinct radial outline within a mixed patchwork layout.

Notes for your tattoo artist

01Keep each of the sixteen ray ends detached from the circular outline.
02Preserve the alternating long and short rhythm around the full circumference.
03Leave the center open so the ring remains the clearest shape.
04Check the circle from the front of the relaxed wrist before finalizing stencil placement.
