Sun Tattoo DesignsThe Navajo Indians, Aztecs, Egyptians, and many other cultures have worshiped the sun god at one time or another. In Egypt, the sun god was called Ra - portrayed with a hawk's head in many ancient characters. Celtics actually have an ancient sun god named Lugh. Native Americans talk about Tsohanoai, the god who brought the sun on his back - in the sky - day-to-day. At night, he hung the sun from a peg in his house.
