Angel Tattoo Designs - Angel Wing Tattoos

Angels have always personified the ideals of love, beauty and sacrifice. They strike a deep note in many people whenever they are visualized.

Angel tattoos can be made as a remembrance for a loved one, to represent one's spirituality or to portray innocence and contentment. Renaissance and medieval art have also used the imagery of these heavenly beings in order to enhance their own beauty and perfection. Angels can be male, female or androgynous.

Icons and Medieval Angels

Medieval art work often portrays great intricacy and perfection in a two dimensional manner with a lot of attention paid to the details. Greek and Russian art also use similar techniques and follow a similar train of thought as the Medieval age, although they are from different eras. The sources to find inspiration for such types of angelic designs are illuminated manuscripts and Orthodox icons.

A grand suggestion for such types of tattoos would be the painting of St. Michael conquering the dragon. This is a popular choice among our generation with angels in armour which can be a good representative of a guardian angel.

Renaissance Angels

Renaissance means change and tattoos deriving inspiration from this age of art also reflects the change. The angels drawn from this age are androgynous with lots of flowing robes and halos over their heads. Great Masters like Raphael, Albrecht Durer, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri and Gian Lorenzo Bernini are some from whose works we can draw inspiration for our designs. These should be drawn with a fine black line or grayscale work.

Graveyard and Memorial Angels

For the purpose of remembering a loved one whom one may have lost in death, the angels found in cemeteries over the tombstones may be good option options on which to base one's tattoos on. These angels are powerful portrayals of grief and loss which perfectly suit the purpose of making such tattoos. 

Many of them are designed with their heads bowed and their arms crossed. This posture can be made even more effective by adding a tribute in the form of some bold lettering.  Valerie Althorpe

Dolphins have different meanings, depending on which culture you ask. To the Celtic people, a dolphin symbolizes rejuvenation, and to the Native Americans they symbolizes kindness.

To the Chinese, a pair of dolphins means harmony. Also many people see them as a symbol of good luck, and decide to get their good luck charm tattooed on their skin.

Dolphin tattoos have began to surge in popularity in the last few years, and have become extremely popular tattoos for women and men. 

Women like them because the dolphin is seen as a carefree, playful, friendly, and peaceful animal. Some men such as surfers like them because they are a widely recognized symbol of the ocean. 

Another reason that dolphin tattoos are popular is because they fit almost anywhere on the body. They make great designs to incorporate into a half sleeve tattoo, full sleeve tattoo, or you could even have dolphins racing their way across your chest or back. They are being formed into lower back tattoos that are getting extremely popular, both replacing the tribal tattoos, and being mixed into a tribal dolphin tattoos.

They also show the tattoo on an actual persons skin, instead of just design on paper. If you want a small dolphin tattoo, sleeves, or a tribal design, an online tattoo gallery is the best place to look.  John D Frost

Octopus Tattoo Designs

Deciding what tattoo design to choose is a very important decision, considering that you will have to live with that decision for years to come. To help you choose a design, you should first consider its symbolic value. One rare, but amazing tattoo design, is the octopus tattoo.

When people think of octopuses, they attach the idea to values like grace, intelligence, wisdom, and adaptability. But to other people, it might not have any significance at all.

Squids on the other hand are believed to be mysterious. They are like chameleons in that they have the ability to change color and disappear when faced with danger. The squid avoids being preyed upon by blending in with the color of its surroundings. Since they do not have spines, they are called invertebrates. Invertebrates are known to be agile and flexible. This sums up the reason why many ocean lovers are amazed by the squid's mysterious beauty.

Octopuses can disengage their limbs when under attack. Even more amazing, an octopus will regrow a lost limb - they magically grow back in time. This attribute signifies renewed hope for all of us. It is like getting rid of what is bad in our lives. And like the octopus, wouldn't it be nice if we could regenerate what was lost and as we 'grow back' maybe we could also evolve into better individuals.

When applying an octopus design, the most distinguished stokes are the tentacles. Sometimes it gives out a negative message to people since it symbolizes pride, grabbing, or trapping. This invertebrate is also monstrous for most people. Even though it gives out a negative connotation, we should realize that we are only human and sometimes we are in ourselves, monsters.

When choosing a design and an area where you are planning to place your tattoo, you should consider that it will be permanent. It should sync with your outlook in life, your character, and your goals. As to where you put your tattoo will entirely be up to you. You can wrap the tattoo around your forearm or from the shoulder down to the lower arms. Or any other place you might come up with.

When using symbols in designing octopus tattoos, an artist can make the round head of the octopus into a globe and represent the tentacles as waves symbolizing the difficulties of life on earth. Some weird designs depict octopuses as aliens. Other extreme designs include octopuses that have big round eyes with scary fangs.

Though some designs are overly aggressive, conservative artists take them to a whole new level. Some even have them cartooned. Artists usually use the colors blue, purple and yellow when making images of octopuses. Examples of these designs are octopuses having large heads and small tentacles, some having funny expressions, and different motions.

Octopus tattoo designs are not only flexible, they also look better than most tattoo designs. It symbolizes a lot of things that you can share to your friends and family.  Richard Galli

Cat Tattoo Designs And Ideas

If you are a cat owner, or simply a fan of cats and kittens in general - then getting a cat tattoo design may be the perfect choice for you. In this article, we're going to take a look at some of common designs ideas that you often see for cat tattoos. So let's begin!

Cat tattoos come in a number of popular varieties. One type of design is the "cartoonish" style of drawing. These will usually have some other kind of playful or mischievous theme - which is often shown in the eyes, or the facial expression of the cat design.

Other designs feature a "portrait" type of cat image, which will usually resemble that of a pencil drawing. Not much color is used, as the outline and shading is often black and grey. Although the eyes are often filled with a vibrant color, as this is a very distinctive aspect of cat tattoos.

A silhouette outline of a cat, often filled with black - and having white spaces for the eyes - is also a common cat tattoo to have. These can be placed on the shoulder-blade for a seductive, feminine, and mysterious looking tattoo which can create a lot of intrigue.

For a cute kitten tattoo, you may choose to have a "hello kitty" type of design, or perhaps the image of a small kitten. These cute tattoos often set a scene of a kitten chasing butterflies, which creates an opportunity for other graphics to be placed into your design.

Having a one of these tattoos is a great option if it's your first one. They also tend to look very effective even if they are small. The vast majority of them are placed on the shoulder-blade, but other popular locations include the arm, the side of the stomach, and occasionally just above the ankle.  Alice Farrell

Sexy Butterfly Tattoos

Butterfly tattoos are such lovely art creations. It symbolizes femininity, frailty and meekness. Since butterflies are aerial beings and love to fly, it can also be a sign of being free. Dipping from one flower to another, a butterfly loves sweet nectar, just like women who make themselves feel cared for and comforted.

But not to forget that becoming a butterfly means it came from a caterpillar which is ugly and icky. But, like a woman, who blooms to be a beautiful being when the time is right the butterfly will do the same. It is probably why a lot of women prefer butterfly tattoos because they feel a certain kind of connection with it.

In fact, butterfly tattoos are so rampant in celebrities, even the normal average Jane would like to have one just so they can connect with their idols.

Sexy Butterfly Tattoos

There are lots of places where those tattoos can be put. It is mostly best by the ankle, if you prefer a teeny weenie Butterfly; by the lower back – which by the way provides a smooth base for that kind of tattoo and the most perfect placement – if you ask Julia Roberts who has one right at that spot; and by the shoulder if you are planning a medium to large butterfly design. For Drew Barrymore, the former Guess model and perhaps the celebrity who made the butterfly tattoo famous, she had it printed on her navel area which is daring but beautiful on her.

For dominant women, like Drew and Olivia Wilde, who are not afraid of their womanhood, they place their butterfly tattoos on their stomach area, upper arms for Olivia, calves, thighs or just about anywhere else. Britney Spears has an Itsy Bitsy butterfly tattoo on her foot but it looks good on her, anyway, a frequent place for a butterfly tattoo. Still, you can beat Julia, Drew, Olivia and Britney.

Lizard Tattoos - Geckos or Iguanas?

Lizard Tattoos are popular tattoo designs both for men and women. They can be inked small and large as well, and in many styles, like realistic, cartoonish, simplistic, tribal and so on. Lizards have been highly popular especially in Hawaiian and Polynesian traditions, and as we know these are cultures that associate deep meaning and symbolism to natural creatures and elements - the lizard is not an exception either.

As for lizard tattoos, there are usually two main types that people choose:

Gecko Lizard Tattoos: Geckos can commonly be found in tropical regions of the world. They are completely harmless, and have broad and long bodies. What is special about them is that they can change their natural colors to disguise themselves from predators. They have very good hearing unlike other lizard animals. But what is most important, they look awesome in tattoo form. Some choose a design that covers the full chest or back, or just a small simple design to the legs.

Iguana Lizard Tattoos:Iguanas come mainly from South Africa and Central America. They can grow as large as 5 to 7 feet and have impressive defensive mechanisms. They naturally have bright colors, so you should use intense colors to make it look good as a tattoo.

There are many associations of lizards amongst people. For Example, Native Americans associate them with dreams, thus lizard tattoo wearers are considered dreamers or individuals who can interpret dreams. As for the Romans, lizards symbolized rebirth and resurrection. Another interpretation of them are divine wisdom and fortune, especially for the Greeks and Egyptians.

The popularity of these tattoos is rising nowadays thanks to celebrities also. Let's have a look at stars who have this tattoo:

David Bowie - singer: He has a lizard tattoo on his ankle

Alissa York - author: She inked a gecko lizard on her left arm.

Alex O'Loughlin - actor: You can see a lizard tattoo over the right nipple

Nicholas Cage - actor: He has a special design; a lizard wearing a top hat on his upper back

Specifically talking about gecko or iguana tattoos, we can say that they come in bigger and smaller designs, too. The interesting thing is that many women choose a bigger design, say on the sides, and not only small lizards (like the simplistic tribal one). The tattoos look best with bright colors and in a simple way in my opinion. They can be decorated though with flames, flowers, a yin yang symbol, and so on.  Mark Hann
