Neta Talmor
It is no wonder that the Guardian Angel tattoos have become very popular in the past few decades, especially if you consider the fact that having a guardian angel tattoo is like having your guardian angel with you all the time!
Guardian angel tattoos are an extension of the Christian belief that holds that there are guardian angels for every person and that the guardian angels protect human beings in times of crisis. But a guardian angel tattoo is not reserved for Christians and different people with different religious backgrounds choose to have a guardian angel tattoo.
Traditionally guardian angels have been viewed as a type of angel whose main purpose is to protect the person they are assigned to by God. Many people believe that the spirits of friends and family who have passed away become guardian angels who protect them.
Guardian angel tattoo designs are usually pictured with wings, although the Bible doesn't mention angels that have wings. The Cherub tattoo is a very popular form of the guardian angel tattoo and many people think of a cherub when they think of an angel. In the Hebrew scriptures they are described as the throne bearers of God while in Christianity and Islam they are celestial attendants of God and praise him continually.
Here are a few celebrities who chose to get Guardian Angel Tattoos: Drew Barrymore, Justin Timberlake, Melanie C., Beyonce, Fred Durst and David Beckham.
Fashion and trends may come and go but when you choose to have a guardian angel tattoo you will surely never regret it as it will always carry a deep meaning for you, and will reflect your spirituality and beauty.
