Even for the male sporters of such tattoos, angel wings are thought to be representative of the love they hold towards their partner. Much more than all of that though, angels in general represent good winning the day in the face of evil.
This can often give the wearer of such a tattoo the belief that they are permanently protected through the fact that they have selected this specific tattoo design. After all, we all strongly believe that angels symbolize all that is good in this world and a lot of individuals actually believe that they may have a guardian angel benevolently looking over them.
Having angel wing tattoos can be undertaken as a mark of respect to this spiritual force and it may be thought to bring the person much closer to their guide. Placing a large and symmetrical angel wings tattoo design on your back is most definitely the best place to wear this form of body art.
The wings will look especially effective when they are done using black and grey shading. Although, having said that, blue can also work particularly well. This specific placement on the body is in line with where you would expect an angel to actually have its wings placed, therefore no other part of the body would be as good.
In terms of size, angel wings tattoo designs are the most ideal way of having a fully tattooed back piece. Each wing should cover an entire side of your back and some angel wings tattoo designs can even be given a kind of three-dimensional illusion. This makes them look even more awesome. If you are not up for such a large piece, the angle wings can be made to look smaller and will cover a less extensive part of the top of the back. It is a good idea to place a wing in the corner of each shoulder.
Although most angel wings tattoos will feature mirror-imaged and symmetrical wings, this does not necessarily have to be so. You may choose a more alternative pattern and when you browse through tattoo databases of ideas, you will soon appreciate that such pieces can have different wing patterns on either side.
