Moon, sun and star tattoo ideas for fine-line lovers
Moon phases, a tiny crescent, a little sun, a Gemini constellation and a full celestial sheet: fine-line sky tattoos and where to wear them.
Celestial designs are made for fine line: a crescent, a few rays or a scatter of stars only needs a handful of thin strokes. Here are six sky-inspired designs and the spots where they shine.
1. Moon phases
The moon's cycle is often read as change, growth and starting again. The moon phases design stacks six phases in a line down the back of the neck. See more moon tattoos.
2. A tiny crescent behind the ear
For something you only notice up close, the moon and stars behind the ear is a tiny crescent with two stars. Wear your hair up and it peeks out.
3. The little sun
Suns are often worn as a symbol of warmth and optimism. The little sun has thin rays and sits on the inner wrist. Browse all sun tattoos.
4. A sun over the mountains
The geometric mountain frames a mountain range and a small sun inside a thin circle, a favourite for hikers and travellers, and it fits the calf.
5. Your constellation
Star sign designs are a personal way to wear the sky. The Gemini constellation traces the star pattern in thin lines near the collarbone. Find your sign in zodiac tattoos and more in constellation tattoos.
6. The whole sky on one sheet
The celestial sheet fills a page with moons, suns, stars and constellations, so you can mix your own set or share with friends. Our printing guide shows how to print it at home.
Pair them up
Sun and moon designs make easy matching tattoos for best friends, sisters or partners: one wears the sun, the other the moon. See them together in sun and moon tattoos and star tattoos.
