Angel Tattoo Meaning
The divine, purity, the ethereal, and transcendent beauty.
In the Abrahamic traditions, angels are messengers of the divine - their name comes from the Greek 'angelos,' meaning messenger. The hierarchy of angels ranges from guardian angels to the Seraphim, the burning ones who surround God's throne crying 'Holy, holy, holy' with voices that shake the foundations of heaven.
In Isaiah's vision, Seraphim have six wings: two covering their faces, two covering their feet, two for flight. The beauty of angels is described as terrifying - their first words are often 'Fear not,' suggesting their appearance is overwhelming rather than gentle.
