If you are thinking about getting a tattoo of wings and want to combine the design with symbolism, we have brought you an explanation of the meaning of this tattoo, and many ideas and styles for tattooing wings.
What is its Meaning?
The wing tattoo is full of symbolism, and we separate several of these meanings that are combined with the design:
- Desire to fly: the wings are the perfect representation of flight and the possibility of achieving it, and the wings tattoo can have a meaning combined with this desire to fly, or in a metaphor of “raising new flights”, that is, of overcoming barriers , obstacles and go in search of dreams.
- Freedom: just as flight is associated with the freedom of birds, wings are also linked to the symbolism of being able to fly in search of freedom.
- Protection: the angel wings tattoo recalls the divine figure of protection, and the design represents this protection and illumination of the angels.
