So before selecting an angel tattoo, let us ponder a bit. Why do men consider getting a tattoo at all? There can be many reasons for this. Well personally, I wear an angel tattoo because there is this angel, my niece, who I so dearly wish to be with all the time. Other than that, many prefer to depict their girlfriends, and many others prefer their loved ones. Some people like the feeling that a guardian angel is watching over them. So let us have a look at some angel tattoo designs for men.

Angel Tattoo Ideas for Men

Archangel Tattoos for Men
The archangels are those angels which are believed to be the closest to God. These seven angels stood before God in revelations. They are also considered as the divine messengers to mankind from God. Of all these messengers, Michael is considered as the most famous of all. He very famously led the battle against Lucifer (another archangel a.k.a. The Satan) in the great rebellion. Many famous depictions of Michael show him holding a big sword and a body armor. His wings are always swept out in readiness. Archangel tattoos for men can be great shoulder tattoos for guys.

Guardian Angel Tattoos for Men
Those angels which are supposed to be our protectors in times of crisis are known as guardian angels. Many people view these guardian angel tattoos as a way of keeping them close by. They are used as a way to honor the lost loved ones too. While choosing a guardian angel tattoo, make sure that it has all the artwork (this is true for all tattoos). Guardian angel tattoo designs for men generally depict them holding their hands together with their wings spread across and a halo on top of their heads.

Cherub Angel Tattoos for Men
The Cherubs are those angel tattoos which have been depicted similar to cupid images. If you want to depict a cupid in the tattoo and want to have a heart in the design, then cherub angel tattoos are just for you. Generally, their designs are similar to that of a baby angel holding a bow and arrow, and having a scarlet heart in the background.

Fallen Angel Tattoos for Men
As I mentioned before, Michael led the battle between forces of heaven against Lucifer's army, needless to say that Lucifer was defeated. Lucifer was such an archangel who had fallen from the grace of God. The fallen angel tattoo design for men generally depict them to be burning in fire and having a facial expression of anguish.

Angels have been serving as guardians of men in front of God. They have been mentioned in almost all the religious texts. Often, the only link between Judaism, Islam and Christianity are these angels. Angels in tattoos will always give us the feeling that they are watching over us.
