Angel wing tattoos are well liked and a popular choice of tattoo for both genders – male and female.
These tattoos also have deep symbolic meaning associated with them. For example wings can be seen in a number of different ways such as: desire, to good or spread kindness and generosity to other people, wishing to fly or reach greater heights or the belief of a guardian (such as grandparents, or a loved one) watching over you and protecting you from harm. Many people these days often choose to get angel wing tattoo designs because of the deep symbolic meanings that these tattoos have.

Different types of Angel Wings Tattoos

#1 Large back tattoo design
This is quite a large, noticeable tattoo design that has 2 angel wings next to each other on the back area.
There are many different styles of back tattoos that you can choose from in a number of different categories. These include tribal, Celtic, and butterfly styled wings to name a few.

#2 Smaller, detailed design
Smaller, detailed angel wing tattoos are a more popular choice by females than males. Males tend to choose the larger tattoo designs while females choose the smaller designs as it is believed they are more feminine. In general, angel wing tattoos are a common choice of tattoo on the ankle as well as the lower back area of a female.

With both designs I have mentioned, make sure you consider the style of the design as well as the colors you plan to use. The most common colors for these designs are black and grey.

Finally, when looking for angel wing tattoo designs make sure you look at a number of different designs before making your final decision.

I would highly recommend that you browse through an online tattoo gallery of designs that will help you get a better idea of what design you want.
