It seems to me just to be someone's stylistic drawing of a setting sun. Personally I don't think
the image itself has anything that is particularly Chinese about it.

This website seems to think the image is the:


Quote:

Chinese Sunset Symbol
The sun is the most potent symbol and source of Yang energy. It purifies and energizes at the same
time. Also a symbol of balance, the legend states that there were originally ten suns, making the
world too hot. The Divine Archer Yi had to kill nine of the suns to restore cosmic balance and
harmony.

But I can't say I've ever seen this image before.

The image is meaningless, it is simply a doodle that someone has made and then invented a story to
do with it in an attempt to get people to part with their money.

The Characters are better done than your average tattoo though . . .

The top bit in red looks like a Maori Koru (Maori are native New Zealanders to the uneducated...)
I cant see anything "asian" about it, but it is a pretty picture.
