I’m pretty sure that before 1800s some things had to be dried on the sun because otherwise it goes bad. And it would be more in the form of folk wisdom. There I would search for connection “sun does good” -> “kills vampires”
I mean you are welcome to do some research as well, but so far, I’ve done a lot of searching, as I said I found results on Silver and Garlic, but I can’t find anything that predates 1922 in which vampires seem to have any kind actual death. There’s a few notes of vampires that are non powered normal people around sunlight, which I guess could count as a weakness. But that wouldn’t make any actual tattoos like the shower thought we’re discussing here.

Also in general the notion that good things happen during day and those active during the night are nefarious and untrustworthy.
