Everybody is familiar with angel tattoos. In the vast majority of cases, these designs have deep symbolic meaning to the individuals who bear them. They are often seen as having a religious or spiritual meaning and are often combined with other symbolic elements. These type of tattoos come in three forms which include the guardian angel, the traditional angel and the fallen angel tattoo.

Angel is a word that is derived from Latin and means “messenger of God”. According to legend, there are three choirs of angels and each one has a different rank.

Each of the choirs each has three types of angels, with each having a specific duty. Their main duty is to deliver messages from God and to watch over humans. With fallen angel tattoos this is a little bit different, however.

Fallen angel tattoos represent the divine beings that have been cast out of heaven as punishment. This is usually because the angel has failed to fulfill some duty assigned to it from God. Fallen angel tattoos depict these beings usually with their faces cast down or with their hand across their face. The meaning of this tattoo is simple. It shows the rebellious side of a person’s nature.
