Angel Tattoos
An angel tattoo design is an overtly religious symbol. Angels are anthropomorphic - meaning in the shape of men - winged forms intended to transmit the word of God to humankind. Angels personify divine will and are the messengers of God.
Winged messengers appear in a number of religions as intermediaries
between the spiritual and material worlds, but appear most often in
Islamic, Jewish but most particularly the Christian faiths. The word
angel comes from the Greek 'aggelos', meaning messenger. Angels make
frequent appearances in the Christian Bible, not only as messengers of
God but also delivering his protection or punishment. Angels act as
God's intermediaries, carrying out God's will in the affairs of man.
