The First Design of Angel Tattoo

Angel tattoos or some other kind of ink? That’s what you’ve been thinking about; probably keeping your eyes open for months for the perfect, unique image. Maybe you think if you see another tribal or dragon tat, your eyeballs will fall out. That isn’t what you want! You want something that will have lasting meaning to you personally, as well as being a beautiful work of art that you can wear with pride every day. An angel tattoo is a clear symbol of one’s belief in higher powers, and the choice to align yourself with the positive energy of creation. Another way of interpreting the angel tattoo seems to be to take just the wings and put them with something else that has meaning to you, for example a heart or other symbol.

The First Design of Angel TattooAngel tattoos rely on a belief that goes far back in history. For those intellectual types interested in words, our word for these creatures actually came from the ancient Greeks. Their word for it was similar to the name of that famous southern California city. Know which one I mean? But the Greeks obviously coined it first, and the word’s meaning is “messenger.” It is interesting to see what “angel tattoo” would look like in Greek. δερματοστιξία αγγέλου. See? But that is modern Greek, as there was no word for tattoo in the ancient Greek. By the way, the Hebrew word for such a being, which is mal’akh, means messenger, just like Greek.
