Angel wing tattoos can have many meanings, including freedom, faith, and protection. For some, they are a tribute to a loved one who has passed on – a ‘guardian angel‘. For others, they represent Christian faith and how belief in God reminds them of their better nature – their holy, angelic side.
Then, should angel wings be up or down?
The wings are typically folded down, meaning the angel is not in flight. The wings are also life-size on the back, making it seem as if the person actually has wings.
One may also ask, why do people get wings on their chest? A wing chest tattoo is often representative of a free spirit who wishes to rise above the muck of life. Wings also very much represent angels and in that sense the meaning behind some wing chest tattoos is commemoration of someone who has passed.
