Types of Angel Tattoos for Men
Angel tattoos for men are frequently archangels. In the western world the most popular is Michael. Common among all beliefs is that Michael is a warrior for God and he is time and again depicted in images, pictures and by tattoo artists, wearing armor and wielding his sword. He is frequently illustrated with his foot on the back of evil. Many men wish to represent that they too, are a warrior. Michael is a great choice when searching out ideas in angel tattoos for men. If you want your tat small but allow for detail, you may want to consider Archangel Michael alone. A good location for Michael alone would be an arm or leg to allow for length. There is opportunity to expand on this theme, if you happen to be a fan of good versus evil, in which case you may want to consider putting the tat on your back.
Depending on how much skin you want to devote to this tat, the possibility for creating an outstanding angel tattoo is wide open.

Lastly, there is further opportunity in design, when you and your artist decide how Michael and evil will interact. Michael is also recognized as a protector of God’s children on earth, which takes us to guardian angel tattoos for men.
