Art Deco Sunburst, geometric tattoo flash design

This design blends Art Deco skyscraper motifs (evoking the Chrysler Building's crown) with a radiating sunburst and a central lotus flower, plus stylized eagle heads flanking the tower. It reads as a tribute to 1920s-30s architectural glamour and the machine-age optimism of that era, while the lotus and eagle add layers of resilience or vigilance. There's no single fixed meaning here; it works more as a celebration of design aesthetics and ambition than a symbol with fixed cultural roots.

Where it sits

The circular, radially symmetric composition suits the back, chest, or a large thigh panel where its full sunburst can spread out evenly. It would also work well on the upper arm wrapped around the deltoid. Shrinking it down for a forearm or calf would blur the fine zigzag borders and lose the small eagle head details near the tower.

Making it yours

Ask an artist for any of these.

  • Drop the eagle heads and keep only the tower and sunburst.
  • Simplify the outer diamond lattice background or remove it entirely.
  • Swap the green sections for deep blue or burgundy tones.
  • Shrink the sunburst rays and enlarge the central lotus medallion.
  • Pair it with a small cityscape skyline piece on the adjoining limb.
