Human beings have held a true fascination toward angels since the dawn of time. Even in this day and age of scientific evidence that covers most aspects of life, many people still choose to believe in the benevolent force of angels. As the ultimate sign of respect to this guardian, they may even elect to have a piece of body art dedicated to them.
It's not just women who turn to angel tattoos, this style of ink is equally popular with men as well. These pieces can either be tailored to look very delicate and feminine or a more menacing and mischievous side can be reflected in the character and appearance of the angel, to make it more appealing to the guys.
People seem to be plugging for two different types of angels: you will either see the angel in its entirety or it is increasingly popular to see just the intricate details of the angel's wings applied in the form of an eye-catching tattoo.
With this genre of tattoo, you can choose to incorporate plenty of colors and detailed fine line work, or black and grey work will look extremely effective and add an eerie and realistic dimension to the piece.
Women seem to prefer the elegant and colorful pieces and an angel will always look great when applied to the top of the shoulder. To add a little more mysticism to the piece, why not add a few stars to the tattoo and have these done in a myriad different shades?
If you prefer the black and grey shading, they come in any size you choose. In fact, it is not uncommon today to see such pieces as the central feature of a complete sleeve. If it's the wing-effect that appeals to you, they will always look best placed on the back and shoulders; for slightly smaller wings, they will work well on the back of the neck.
Whatever an individual's belief in angels, this style of design remains popular as a tattoo vogue. Angels will always grab attention and really do make for some of the most awe-inspiring design choices around. John S Clifford
