Angel Tattoo Latest Design

An angel tattoo design is usually an overtly religious symbol. Angels are anthropomorphic, meaning they are in the shape of men. They are winged forms intended to transmit the word of God to humankind.



Angels personify divine will and are the messengers of God. Winged messengers appear in a number of religions as intermediaries between the spiritual and material worlds, but appear most often in Islamic, Jewish and the Christian faiths. The word angel comes from the Greek ‘aggelos’, meaning messenger. Angels make frequent appearances in the Christian Bible, not only as messengers of God but also delivering his protection or punishment. Angels act as God’s

intermediaries, carrying out God’s will in the affairs of man. Symbols closely associated with angels in art include trumpets, harps, swords, scepters and wands. Angels are usually portrayed as young men with wings and halos, representing their divinity. As a design element, an angel tattoo is a symbol of devotion, spirituality and faith and signifies a close personal relationship with God.
