What is the meaning behind the angel wings tattoo?

  • Spirituality and religion. Angels are beings, which are believed to be God’s messengers. Which is why, they are a symbol of one’s relationship with God. It is believed that wings are granted to a person when they die and ascend to heaven. Furthermore, their wings are said to contain all of their power. So, naturally, angel wings are the biggest symbol of one’s wish to be at peace with his spirituality and beliefs.
  • Commemorating a loved one. If a loved one has passed away, a memorial tattoo is a big step towards healing and getting past the grieving process. A tattoo, which commemorates said person will make you feel their presence anytime you look at it. And, is there a more perfect memorial tattoo than the angel wing tattoo? We would all like to think that our loved ones are up in heaven, watching over us. That is why, many people choose this design to honor someone’s memory. The phrase “guardian angel” is said for a reason.

  • Hope or love for life. Many people choose to tattoo angel wings on their backs. This showcases their wish to be better, to do good deeds and have a place in heaven when they die.
  • Broken wings. The broken wings tattoo design is very common. It symbolises the person’s broken soul, but their willingness to fix it and rise above it. We all go through tough times in our lives, but the will to get better and fix our mental state is a huge part of life.
  • Duality. Another version of the angel wings tattoo is having one angel’s wing and one devil’s wing. This symbolises the duality of human nature. The constant battle between good and bad, light and darkness, etc. Many people struggle with their thoughts and aspirations in life and this tattoo is a perfect representation of the fact that life can be difficult sometimes and you can’t always make the right decision. You can always try your best, however!

What are the most popular places to get an angel wings tattoo?

  • The back. Angels have their wings on the back. Because of this, the back is the most widespread placement of this tattoo design.
  • The back of the neck. Small wings on the back of your neck look super classy and elegant.
  • The back, extending all the way to the arms. That way every time you open your arms, it would look like you are opening your wings. The truth is, this is probably the most breathtaking place for this type of tattoo.
