One of the most popular and in demand tattoo designs are angel wings tattoos, for both men and women. When you think of angels the first thing that usually comes to mind is the religious meaning of an angel – the whole “divine messenger of God” thing. For some, that may be their inspiration for getting an angel wings tattoo, but for others, there are many other reasons why one might get one.
Some may get one as a permanent memorial on their body in memory of someone close to them who has passed away – as a way to keep them close forever.
Some may see the wings as symbolic of freedom or flying, as a guardian type role, or a celebration of life, while others might think they just look hot!
So angel wings don’t have to be a religious statement – they are a very cool design to have whatever your reason may be.
So you may have decided that you might like an angel wings tattoo – but what do you do with your design? What do you use for inspiration? Where do you put it on your body?
There are many ways to personalize angel wings tattoos and make the design your own.
The most common place to put angel wings on your body is on your back, either wings that are in a “closed” position that point down your back, or wings open across the shoulders or low back. But you are definitely not limited to the back – some put them on their arms, shoulders, chest or calves – pretty much anywhere goes.
Some have tiny wings (like actress Nicole Richie), and some get really big wings that cover their whole back. If you get small wings, you may want them placed closer together so they actually do look like wings, and if you opt for really big wings realize that the tattoo may take a long time to complete.
Then the style or mood of the wings should be considered – do you want the wings to look traditional, made with a tribal wing symbol, warrior-like, sexy, gothic, humorous or maybe an abstract design?
As for design, things to think about are the color (black and white, full color ink or a mixture of the two), any texture such as detailed feathers or not, or if you want a design placed in between the wings so that it looks as if the wings are sprouting from it.
Some incorporate a symbol or design into or with their wings – whether it is a name, a military symbol, sparrow, heart, tribal design, rose, teardrops, cross or just about anything that may have some personal meaning.
Some people even get a tattoo design where the angel wings are torn or broken like they are a fallen angel!
Hopefully this article gave you enough ideas to consider so that you can get a very cool angel wings tattoo design that you will always enjoy and never regret!
