Angel Wings Tattoos

Have you always wanted a pair of angel wings? A lot of people fantasize about having a pair of angel wings as they can represent a wide variety of symbolism and important values to the bearer of this great tattoo. So what do your angel wings tattoo represent? It is really up to you and below we will explore some of the more common meanings and symbolism behind the angel wings tattoo designs.

 

Angel Wings History

Interestingly enough the angels present in the Western bible never had wings. If you read in the old or new testament the angels and seraphim where very much human like in every way. In fact they did not even have a pair of wings. However, they were always the bearer of important new from God. They often came down to earth to spread an important message. Often appearing in dreams or during times of deep prayer to people and giving some form of important advice.

 

However, somewhere early on in history, artists including painters, stain glass artists and even the calligraphers who illuminated the pages of the Bible began to put a pair of wings on the angels and speraphim that came to earth. Why this was done or where it started has been lost in history but it can be seen almost everywhere.

 

In modern art this traditional of angel wings has continued. You really can no longer find an angelic being without a pair of white feathery wings. It could be that early artists just wanted to show an angels special powers and have some way to represent an angel as looking different from humans. Of course the ideas that Heaven is somewhere above us in the clouds or way up in the sky in some magical place must've lead early artists to the conclusion that angels had to have some means to fly from earth to heaven.  This might have lead to the

introduction of angel wings. Who knows how this really got all started but it is clear today anyone with a pair of wings must be a special being from God.

The Meaning of Angel Wings

An angel tattoo on a woman signifies her search for purity within the soul. In addition to this, it also represents her divinity, patience and her presence as a gift to the world. It implies that she regards self-confidence as a significant part of beauty and believes in protecting herself and others. Those who sport the angel tattoos are believed to do so to express their belief in this concept. It is read as a sign that a woman will not settle for anything but the best.
 There are different designs used to create angel tattoos. They are as follows:
    Guardian Angels: The guardian angels are considered to be the protectors of humanity, especially in the times of crisis. The guardian angel tattoos often depict human forms holding or keeping a watch over children. Generally, people who love children wear these tattoos.
    Archangels: The Archangel tattoos represent the seven angels that stood before God, in the Revelation. These tattoos generally depict a human form holding a large sword with wings spread out in readiness. The Archangel tattoos are very famous among religious people.
    Cherubs: Cherubs are considered to be messengers of love. Cherub angel tattoos generally depict an arrow piercing the heart. Many people sport these tattoos with the names of their loved one.
    Fallen Angels: The fallen angel tattoos usually depict a beautiful angel with a bloody sword in her hand. Others depict torn or injured wings. These tattoos generally use a darker and heavier ink to create the designs. These tattoos are very popular among the Goths, bikers and the devotees of Satan and the dark arts.
    There is a trend of people getting angel tattoos on their back, but they are not the original angel. These people are getting wings tattooed on their backs. It's a different type of tattoo since the wings make it look like the person actually has wings growing out of their back. Wings come in many different sizes, depending on the person. Some people have been getting this tattoo the size of their entire back, while others are getting small wings that fit in the upper part of the back.
