Tons of Glorious Moon Tattoos!

Glorious moon tattoos! The moon watches over us as we sleep. And we watch over the moon as it sleeps in ink on our bodies. You may not realize it, but moon affects our lives just as much as sun does. How is that possible, moon doesn’t keep us warm, nor provide daylight? Moon energizes life, especially night life. Because of the moon, ocean tides rise and mushrooms sweat.

A moon tattoo is perfect for both genders. Here are some of the best moon tattoos that will inspire you!

20. Full Moon Tattoo

When it comes to moon symbolism, its meaning is way more different than the meanings for all our previous tattoo designs. We interpreted many tattoo designs, and they mostly represent strength, power, freedom, family, etc. But, when it comes to the moon, its unique illumination has deeper meaning. A moon tattoo is usually associated with mysticism, sensuality, shadow, mystery, purity, and, of course, magic. Full moon tattoos usually mean that everything is seen.

This is a beautiful, colorful moon tattoo. Usually, moon tattoos are done in dark colors, such as black or gray. But, this moon tattoo is truly unique.

18. Moon and Flowers Tattoo

The sun and the moon tattoo is very similar to the meaning of Yin and Yang. It shows the strong attraction between two opposing forces. The sun and the moon are contrasting bodies, but when they are together they make a truly powerful, united body. Just like the Yin and Yang. Tattoos like this are meant to represent a person’s harmony and balance.

16. Phases of The Moon Tattoo

A tattoo of the moon cycle can represent the circle of life, rebirth, and even immortality. In Greek mythology, the phases of the moon were associated with three goddesses: Demeter, Kore-Persephone, and Hecate. These goddesses symbolized three different stages in life – the maiden (youth), matron (motherhood), and crone (old age). These phases are symbolized with the waxing, waning and full moon.

15. Moon Phases Tattoo

This tattoo is practically the same as the tattoo above, but the difference is in the position of the tattoo and the size of the tattoo. Every moon phase has its meaning. Waning moon is usually a symbol of release, letting go. New moon is the symbol of rebirth; a fresh start or a new beginning. Waxing moon represents growth, attainment, and manifestation. When the moon is full, it is on its peak. Therefore, a full moon tattoo represents the height of power, as well as fullness and the peak of clarity. It can also symbolize obtainment of desire.

14. Ribs Crescent Moon Tattoo

A crescent moon tattoo, as mentioned, symbolizes a new beginning. If you are finally done with your old life and habits, then symbolize your rebirth with a tattoo like this. Or, if you are planning to start over, you may use this tattoo as a symbol of support and encouragement.

13. Beautiful Moon Tattoo

This is a very beautiful and complex moon tattoo. You have a crescent moon, an arrow, and stars. However, this tattoo also reminds me of a dream catcher. A dream catcher was used to protect newborns from bad spirits. A crescent moon symbolizes new beginnings. An arrow tattoo usually sends one strong message – it needs to be pulled back before it is shot. This tattoo may be your lucky charm, your symbol of rebirth and the fact that you needed life to drag you down before you started shining bright, all at the same time!

12. Tiny Crescent Moon Tattoo

If you are not looking for a symbol of new beginnings, but still want the crescent moon tattoos, then go and get it. Even though a crescent moon generally symbolizes one thing, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get this beautiful tattoo. Your tattoo should have a meaning you want it to and symbolize what you want it to.

11. Tribal Moon and Sun Tattoo

We already showed you one example of moon and sun tattoos and told you it’s meaning. But, that tattoo was colorful. Do you prefer more simple, tribal tattoos? If so, then look no more. This tattoo is the perfect choice for you. It clearly states what you want it to, but, still it keeps a tiny dose of mystery within.

10. “La Luna” Moon Tattoo

Translated “la luna” means actually the moon. But, you probably already knew that. Besides the “la luna,” here we also have a full moon. A full moon represents that everything is seen. However, Native Americans believed that a full moon is different for every month. That is why they gave names to every full moon, based on the characteristics of the month the moon appears in. They had 12 names, just like there are 12 months. Some of them are Egg Moon (April), Flower Moon (May), Harvest Moon (September), Cold Moon (December), etc.

8. Howling Wolf and Moon Tattoos

Let’s remember all those books and movies about werewolves. Humans turn into werewolves when? On the full moon night, that is right! Many may consider wolves dangerous predators, but the truth is so much different. Sure, they are predators, but wolves are true warriors who value their pact and loyalty more than anything. Wolves stay with the same mate for the rest of their lives. Could this full moon represent your change, and your new life with your loved one?

6. Amazing Moon Tattoo

Why would your moon tattoo only have a moon? The moon actually is a symbol of the night. Sun is very important for us, humans. When the sun rises, we come to life. But, when the moon shows up on the sky, that is when all the other creatures come to life. Your tattoo can represent all those things that happen beyond our sight.

5. Night Tattoo

As I’ve just said, when you think of the moon, you are associated to night. Night and moon have one thing in common – they are so mysterious. If you are like them, then this beautiful, yet mysterious tattoo is the perfect choice for you.

This is actually a matching tattoo. You may see two pictures, but I think there are only two hands here. The tattoos are done around the entire hand. So, you have the front side and the back side of your hand tattooed. This sleeve moon tattoo looks amazing. It would also look great on two or even four friends!
