Tattoos have been around for centuries, and they are a form of self-expression that has become more popular in recent years. Sun and moon tattoos are one of the most popular tattoo designs because they represent the balance of light and dark, masculine and feminine, and the cycle of life. Both the sun and moon have been used as symbols for centuries, and they have different meanings depending on the culture.

Like other insects, moths and butterflies have four wings, six legs, and a jointed body divided into three sections—head, thorax, and abdomen. The legs do not show in these drawings. Moth antennae are feathery or, in some species, threadlike. Butterfly antennae have clublike tips. The body of the moth is usually shorter and stouter than that of the butterfly.
