About Angel Tattoos
The angel is a reassuring symbol of the world beyond. It is deeply connected to Christianity—where angels represent protection, peace, and the promise of the refuge of heaven. An angel can evoke the pursuit to better oneself! However, it is not a concept specific to Christianity, and many people associate angels with spirituality in general.
Angels are used in secular culture as well. People often strive to be angelic or to possess an image and qualities like angels without being literal!
Angels often adorn the back; their wings are ideal for this area! The shoulder is a good spot to spread a pair of wings, as is the lower back.
Angels can be used in sleeves or as a single image on the upper or lower arm. There are numerous feminine options; a small angel is suited for the neck, or nape of the neck. Angels are charming on ankles or the chest.
Although angels are most often seen as sweet, they are powerful as well. Since angels are protectors, the theme combines naturally with soldiers, rescuers, and battle symbols like the Valkyrie. As inhabitants of the afterlife, angels are a connection to death—tribal angels, the angel of death, devil angel, a skull and angel, fighting angel, or the image of avenging angels are examples of the darker side of this theme. Angels may be desired in memory tattoos where they can preserve our connection with those who have passed on. Sad angels, weeping angels, baby angels, the cross and the RIP texts are respectful options for memorial tattoos.
Conversely, angels are a sign of innocence. Butterfly angels and fairy angels are popular, feminine choices. An angel can represent your archetypal beauty, and you can choose a style of facial illustration that conveys your ideal. Of course, your angel may not be completely innocent! Naughty angels are a good choice for bad girls!
