The angel is one of the most commonly use elements of tattoos today. It is not unusual to see angel tattoos rendered in many different ways, from classic designs to elaborate masterpieces. However it is used, an angel can be the centerpiece of a tattoo that turns heads and gets noticed.
Angel tattoos are popular among many different types of people. Both men and women can pull off these tattoos, and they are appropriate for people of nearly any age.
Although many people think of angel tattoos as having religious symbolism, they can represent numerous other meanings as well. Some people use angels to symbolize trust, knowledge, and inner beauty. The meaning of an angel tattoo can be quite personal, and can hold a special meaning for the wearer that is not readily apparent to others.
Not all angel tattoos are about love and light. Fallen angels are becoming more common as tattoo designs – they are used to symbolize disappointment, loss of faith, and many other negative connotations. Tattoos of severed angel wings, placed on the shoulder blades, are also gaining popularity among the disaffected.
Gothic angels, dressed in black and surrounded by dark, swirling clouds, are also becoming common among younger tattoo wearers.
One of the best things about using an angel as part of a tattoo design is that it lends itself to a variety of styles and colors. An angel can be used as part of an intricate Celtic design, an ethereal sleeve tattoo, or a stark fiery design. There are no limits to how an angel tattoo can be rendered, except for the limit of the wearer’s imagination.
Hello tattoo artists,
I didn’t expect that there would be a photo on internet of my precious girl-friend, who I wanted to propose to.
Whauw.. I knew that she got a tattoo a year ago, and it looked beautiful. My thanks and gratitude for that tattoo )it´s the one on which the angel is between her shoulderblades and has her hands open. And who wears a nice fine silkish dress and seperate arms thingies.
I know my soul-mate is now in heaven, almost a year ago she went very very ill and after a few weeks she passed away… She will always be in my heart as my dear wife-to-be, and she will be waiting. I love her .. and miss her 2.
Take care for all who had lost in life their loved ones.
Marco
P.S. One day I will have almost the same one inked on me.
Wow, touching story Marco – thanks for sharing.
I can post your version of the tattoo on my site if you want?
Take care!
James
