Angel Wing Tattoos

There is no doubt that angel and angel wing tattoos have become extremely popular in recent years. And why not? Angels are some of the purest creatures that one can choose to ink on their bodies. They are very spiritual; these tattoos are around the most religious out there! However, not everyone who decides on angel wing tattoos or angel tattoo designs is getting them because of religious reasons. Angels stand for so much more than that.

Angel wing tattoos can be found in many shapes and sizes. Some span the entire area of people's back while others are small enough to fit nicely on your ankle. So how do you know what size to get? It's all about your personal preference. Some people just don't want an enormous tattoo covering their backs. Smaller angel wing tattoos are much easier to hide and some find them more attractive.

Full-bodied angel tattoo designs are just as or even more popular than angel wing tattoos. While the wings are cute and subtle, an entire angel can depict exactly what you want them to be thinking and feeling. The tattoo can portray a happy, peaceful angel or a protective guardian angel. Some illustrate a saddened fallen angel, while others represent adorable, cheery cherubs.

Although angels are correctly identified as beings living under God, people have interpreted them differently. Some recognize guardian angels as the highest class because of all that they do for the living. When people opt for guardian angel tattoos, they generally go for the full-back wing tattoo designs. This particular angel wing tattoo is usually the largest you will find. After all, the back is the largest blank canvas on our bodies!

Any tattoo discussion about angel tattoo designs without mentioning the enchanting cherub angels would just be shameful. Everyone knows about Cupid: the cherub who brings love to all he comes across. There are loads of people who love his character and choose to get his likeness tattooed on themselves. Cherubs are normally jovial, crafty and chubby.

The type of angel wing tattoos that has grown the most over the years is the fallen angel. This can be depicted as either a full angel tattoo or just the wings. Fallen angels are those who have been exiled from heaven for disobeying or rebelling against God. The most widely-known angel is Lucifer, also knows as Satan. Fallen angel tattoo designs usually depict a sad, sometimes crying angel either wailing in pain or slumped to the ground to where you cannot see their faces. Simple fallen angel wing tattoos show the wings in a dilapidated state, more often than not with torn or missing feathers.

Lion Tattoo
