Cross and Wings Tattoo


If you're interested in tattoo designs which feature wings, then this guide is for you. Specifically, we're going to take a look at some of the main types of design you'll find in the "wing" category. By the time you've finished reading, you'll be surprised by the incredible variety this type of tattoo has to offer. So let's begin.
Firstly, the most common wing design has to be the angel wing. These are usually placed on each shoulder blade, as if the wearer is the angel. Sometimes, you'll also find a halo placed between these designs. They are usually very detailed, with lots of detailed line work to outline each individual feather.
Other wing designs can be more bat-like or demonic in nature. They are less detail, and tend to be more "wraith" like. They can look quite fearsome and scary, too.
Sometimes wing designs can be used in conjunction with other images, commonly crosses. A popular tattoo is to have wings on the chest, with a cross in the middle.
Wings play a major part in many other tattoo ideas, especially dragonflies and butterflies. You can also find many tribal designs which have been heavily influenced by the wings of angels. The stark, powerful and bold lines usually form the main outline, while the tribal part is contained within the main pattern.
It's important to note that winged tattoos can be both feminine and masculine. The feminine styles tend to have more finer details and softer curves, which leave more of a serene look to the tattoo. The masculine ones tend to have harsher lines, and be incorporated with other symbols. They are also more demonic in style.
So whether you want a beautiful, angelic wing, or a "fallen angel" demonic wing, there's plenty of choice within this range
