A biblical angel tattoo represents one’s connection to both Jesus and God, providing guidance, protection, hope, and reminders that keep them on the right path.
Modern Cherubs
Modern cherubs are often depicted as adorable baby figures that represent love and remembrance, making them an increasingly popular way for people who wish to honor someone who has passed.
Guardian Angel
The guardian angel tattoo is a universally recognized symbol of protection. According to belief, each individual is assigned their guardian angel at birth, who should help guide their lives before leading them directly into heaven upon Death. These tattoos typically consist of large, intricate pieces attached to either the chest or back and often incorporate religious imagery and realistic art styles that achieve their haunting appearance. Many even feature Death as a way to represent moral and spiritual development within an individual. This angel tattoo is perfect for anyone wanting to show their religious devotion.
Cherub
These tattoos often come with prayers or Scripture that mean something unique to the wearer. Contrary to popular perception, biblical angels do not look like humans. One such biblical angel known as a “cherubim” appears as a cross between humans and animals with four faces, four wings, and bull hooves; believed by some scholars to serve as guardians of Eden Garden. Cherub tattoos are an attractive biblical angel design option, often featuring these adorable miniature angels with round cheeks and winged features. Cherubs often hold bows and arrows associated with Cupid, the ancient Roman God of love – an image which suggests that cherubs symbolize love; similarly, Michael the Arch Angel’s fiery sword indicates his warrior status, ready to defend his beliefs.
Dark Angel
tattoos depicting dark angels typically symbolize moments of struggle or rebellion in our lives, personal freedom, or solid religious conviction. A dark angel should not be confused with fallen angels representing faith loss and murder.
Baby Angel Tattoo (Cherub)
A baby angel tattoo, also known as a cherub, is an increasingly popular trend. These angels resemble young children and typically appear naked despite having wings; this type of angel is considered among the more innocent. People grieving for lost children or in love often choose this design for themselves or as part of a tribute tattoo design; another popular variation known as Cupid is often chosen as a symbolic representation of love and destiny.
Whispering Angel
Christian Scripture often references Gabriel as a protector and messenger from God. Gabriel is one of the most powerful angels, as evidenced by numerous references in Scripture and its appearance several times throughout Scripture. Tattooing an angel whispering in your ear symbolizes that someone is always watching over and encouraging you. Additionally, this angel tattoo often comes with cross or heart symbols. This angel tattoo often depicts purity and hope, making it a popular choice among men looking to express their faith and dedication. This piece can be located anywhere from the shoulders or back, depending on personal taste and preference.
