Original Angel Wings Tattoos

There are some truly beautiful angel wings tattoos around at the moment. The ability to transfer the gossamer, delicate & silky texture of an angel's wing into a tattoo design that can be worn for a life-time is; in itself, amazing.

History has made reference to angels as long as there is recorded history. They even appeared in Egyptian hieroglyphics!

Apart from humans being recorded as having wings, animals have also been depicted as such. But does having wings constitute angelic status? Not always.

Even in the bible the messengers that broadcast to the shepherds about the birth of Jesus, were indeed described as superhuman, but wings were never mentioned.

However, somehow over the centuries wings have become synonymous with angels and certainly when wanting to depict an angel in any kind of art form it is the wings that become important.

At the beginning of this article I describe, gossamer, silky wings but a lot of pictures of angels show their wings to be made of feathers.

There is yet another school that prefers not to stick to fact or stereotypical images of angels wings for their tattoos. They prefer stylised, patterned and abstract, uniquely designed angel wings tattoos.

Why not? Tattoos as an art form should be individualistic and original.

This is where online tattoo galleries can come into their own as they take the time & effort out of searching for that special tattoo design that's just right for you!
