Sunset Tattoos Meaning Novels & Stories

He looked at me briefly then back at my hand that was holding onto his. The biggest and clearer of the tattoos was on the back of his palm. It was drawn with dark ink that stood out on his well tanned dark hands. At first it looked like a sun rising in the horizon and glazing over a field with details of how it shines around it in tiny well drawn marks, I soon realized it was the sea the sun was rising on and not heaps in a field. "Solem Orientem Ghe Mari" I called out the foreign words written right under the tattoo of the sun and the sea. It sounded Latin or was it Italian?

“I was thinking… Maybe we could go to the beach during sunset. Capture the moment when the sun meets the ocean halfway.” He raised a brow. “That sounds a bit cliché, doesn’t it?” I felt embarrassed, but I stood my ground. “No, it’s meaningful. Think about it properly. The meeting of the sun and the ocean. It’s like fire and water. It could symbolize unity despite differences, like black and white, lesbian and gay, man and woman, rich and poor. If we look deeper, it shows that even opposites can coexist and become one. Right?”

Touching her tattoo, I ask her what it means. “I don’t know how to explain it. You’ll think I’m crazy if I do,” she says. “Try me. I’ve had my fair share of crazy,” I offer in response. “I had the tattoo done after suffering a loss a few years back,” she explains. Pointing at it, she continues, “You see this? It’s called a Nautilus shell. Can you see how it curls up into itself, almost like it’s never ending? For me, that represents infinity with no end and no beginning.”

I feel safe, and I feel at peace. "Look at how the sun is setting," I told him. "I hate sunsets," he uttered. His chin rested on my shoulder. I pouted. "Why? It’s beautiful. " "Because I hate seeing the moon. How I wish I wouldn’t see the sun set." My forehead furrowed. "But I love the moon as well." "Really?" He whispered on my skin. I nodded. "I love sunsets because it’s a reminder that not every ending is ugly and sad. It could be beautiful as well. And it could be a new start too, a start to look forward to something new. Like the stars and the moon. "

“What do you mean?” “After a mating ceremony, it won’t look like a bite mark anymore. It could look like anything, for example, a rose, a wolf howling, claws and so on. Being my mate, you’ll get something that has to do with the sun and if you were able to mark me, I’d get something that has to do with the moon. It’ll look like a tattoo.” “Oh.”

It was so abrupt but needed. “You okay?” His hand touched my arm. The one with the tattoo. I grabbed it, holding it up so I could feel it. I couldn’t see it anymore in the dark, but I knew it was there. I traced my fingers over it, feeling his skin. “Why do you have a tattoo that usually means peace?” He tensed. “What?” “The dove. The rays of sun. Your life is not about peace.” He didn’t answer right away. “Because there was a time in my life when I needed some. So I got it.”

He licked his lips before looking down. “Sunsets are a sign that the day is about to end. It shows you the reality that everything ends in some way or another. It’s like telling you that it’s the beginning of an end,” And then he looked over at her. Kai was right. Because this moment they’re sharing right now…it’s the beginning of an end.

Luna symbolizes the moon, she gives light during the darkest hours of her pack. We both stare at the sunset. The sunset doesn't always convey a goodbye or ending. Sunsets are a great reminder to rest and reset our hearts and minds at the end of each and every day. It reminds us that there's a new beginning. It wants us to appreciate its beauty and for us to restore a sense of peace. I am at peace and I feel complete. I am the alpha and my Luna, Luna Cassandra completes me.

'' "Most of them comes with the title, for example. The moon and the wolf, I got that the day I became Alpha.'' He lifted his arms to expose two arrows pointing down. "I thought that these meant the flow of energy, only to later on be told that it means I bang goats.'' Jessie laughed out loud, then covered her mouth. "Are you serious?'' "No, I only wanted to see you laugh. I love your smile. But it means positive energy." Christian brushed a finger across her cheek. "What about this one?" She circled a finger around his belly button. "Another tattoo that comes with the title, it is a symbol of the Fates and can appear anywhere on the body."

Some in memory of the lives I was forced to take and others to remind me why I was here, why I was so dark and hollow inside. Two tattoos held more meaning than the rest, though. The first is the crest for the Bloodstone pack. It sat just above my heart. Two wolves howled at the moon on opposite sides of a sword that sunk between a crown and shield—roses growing around the tip of the blade.
