Earlier in the post we shared a matching sun and moon design. If you loved the idea of getting a moon and sun tattoo with someone you care about, then check out this design.

27. Patterned Sun and Realistic Moon

You don’t have to have the sun and moon in the same design. Maybe try two separate ones like this. One wrist has a patterned sun tattoo while the other has a more realistic moon design.
