Sunrise & wave 'Let it be' temporary tattoo

This minimalist sunrise and wave tattoo pairs a rising sun with flowing wave lines and 'Let it be' script for a calming coastal design. The 5x5cm format (roughly cotopads-sized) combines natural elements with affirmation in a compact layout.

The design uses clean linework to create three distinct elements: a semi-circle sun with radiating rays, curved wave motion below, and integrated script lettering. Unlike busier beach-themed designs, this composition keeps each element simple and balanced. The minimalist approach works well for those who want multiple symbols without visual clutter.

Our jagua ink penetrates the first skin layer for a matte, authentic finish that resists water and friction, unlike synthetic stickers that sit on the surface and fade quickly. This plant-based ink lasts 10 to 15 days compared to 3 to 5 days for standard temporary transfers, and develops gradually over 24 to 48 hours for a natural-looking result.

This size fits well on the forearm, shoulder, upper back between the shoulder blades, or outer calf. The horizontal composition works particularly well on the forearm where it can be easily visible or concealed with sleeves.

Suitable for those who connect with ocean symbolism, sunrise imagery, or motivational phrases. Good choice if you're testing a multi-element tattoo concept before committing to permanent ink, or if you want a temporary design for warm-weather months.
