About this design

What the design shows

The design centers on an open circular disk with no face. Eight wide flame-shaped rays curve outward around it, bending in repeated sweeps so the outline feels fluid rather than gear-like. A narrow pale curve follows the inside of every ray, splitting each dark band into a paired ornamental form. The tips taper to points, while the outer edges undulate as they extend from the circle. Soft grey shading within the black shapes gives the curves a rounded sense of depth, and clear gaps separate neighboring rays. The center remains empty, with no symbols around it. In the on-skin preview, the sun sits high at the middle of the chest and spreads across the upper sternum. Its round arrangement reads as one compact motif, while the repeated inner curves add detail when viewed more closely.

Placement

Placement and size

The preview centers the sun high on the chest, just below the collarbones and above the sternum's midpoint. Its circular center gives a clear focal point, while the eight rays spread across the upper chest rather than running vertically along the torso. The upper sternum or outer pectoral area may also suit the round layout if you adjust the scale and position. Check the stencil with shoulders relaxed; raised shoulders can alter how evenly the rays appear around the open center.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

This is a compact round anchor with long, curved tips extending from a hollow center. In a chest patchwork, it can sit above smaller pieces or between broader motifs, with the ray tips giving the cluster a radiating edge. Its shaded dark bands carry more weight than fine-line accents, so leave open skin around the perimeter and avoid placing narrow lines directly across the pale inner curves. Separate celestial or geometric companions can complement the circular shape without crowding the center.

Small pieces that pair with it

For your artist

Notes for your tattoo artist

01Keep the pale inner curve open across all eight rays, especially at their tighter bends.
02Preserve the center as an open disk so its circular silhouette stays clear.
03Align the stencil to the chest centerline, then check the ray tips against the collarbone and pectoral curve.
04Keep grey modelling inside the dark ray shapes and retain the gaps between neighboring tips.
