Tribal sun temporary tattoo with arrows and spirals

This tribal sun temporary tattoo combines traditional arrow motifs and spiral patterns in a compact 5x5cm format (roughly cotopads-sized). The design features radiating arrows around a central sun core with ancestral spiral details, creating a balanced geometric composition typical of Polynesian-inspired body art.

The pattern uses bold black lines and negative space to create strong contrast and clear readability at this size. Unlike dense tribal designs that lose clarity when reduced, this composition maintains distinct arrows and spirals that remain visible from a distance. The symmetrical structure works well for those seeking traditional tribal aesthetics without overwhelming detail.

Our plant-based jagua ink penetrates slightly into the skin's surface layer for a matte, authentic finish, unlike synthetic sticker transfers that sit on top and create shine. This natural approach means the tattoo withstands water, sweat, and friction for 10 to 15 days, significantly longer than standard temporary transfers that fade within 3 to 5 days.

This small format fits well on the forearm for visible daily wear, the shoulder for easy concealment, the calf for summer visibility, or the shoulder blade for back placement. The compact size also works as a trial run for those considering this placement before committing to permanent ink.

Suitable for those drawn to tribal symbolism and geometric patterns, or anyone seeking a sun motif with cultural depth. The arrow and spiral elements add meaning beyond basic sun imagery—arrows traditionally represent direction and protection, while spirals signify growth and energy cycles.
