Angel Tattoo Designs
Angels are one
of those symbols that mean many things for different people.
They are found in most faiths, most people find it easier
to believe in angels rather than a God, which means there are
few that do not believe in the existence of angels.
Christian Angels
In the Christian traditions
Angels are seen as warriors of God. They fight for what is
right and crush evil. 'Angel' in the ancient Greek means
'messenger', which is another of their major roles, such
as Gabriel giving Mary the message that she will bare the
Son of God.
However,
Angels are not found that frequently in the New Testament, but
more in the Old Testament. Michael is one of God's Arch Angels
and there is the very famous image of Michael slaying Satan.
Michael is portrayed with the sword of God and the scales to
show justice. This is a very popular Angelic image and is
often used by the wearer to represent strength and protection
from evil from God.
Angel
Wings
Not everyone wants to use a
complete image of an angel but will instead use just the
wings. They can signify freedom but
protection and strength like with angel tattoo
designs. Angel wings are often joined with hearts to
signify someone close to you. They are also used in
memorial tattoos to show where the wearer thinks that
person is.
Sometimes the
wings have a halo balanced on top to signify the angel strength
but without having an angel feature in the design but instead
have text or name.
Angel wings
are often surround heart motifs, so show how heavenly and
everlasting your love for that person is. For more heart
tattoo design ideas see Heart and Love Tattoo
