Wing Tattoo Designs

Wing Tattoos are popular among different people. You church-goer may have a set of traditional feathered wings while your Joe Blow on the street may have a set of tribal wings.

Tattooed wings can represent different things to different people. You may see a tattooed set of wings and see protection under the wing of God or the archangels, whereas someone else may see mysticism and magic.

Wings can be small or large, depending on your personal tastes. They can be on you thigh, calf, shoulder, arm, nape, or back. Most wing tattoos are on the back, as to wear them like the angels.

Animal Tattoos

Animal Tattoos are very popular amongst those who are tattooed. One can use an animal tattoo to symbolize a turning point, achieving a goal, or a characteristic that one chooses to hold high.

I, personally, have one animal tattoo. It is the APBT that is posted above. Although, currently only an outline, it will be shaded in due time. I felt the need to get a tattoo of an American Pit Bull Terrier because of several reasons. (1) It represents my first APBT, Chance, who was stolen from me in 2005. (2) It represents all APBT's that I will have until I die. (3) It represents courage, strength, devotion, and loyalty, all characteristics that I hope to one day have as inbred as the APBT.

But, in any case, animals represent more than just a living being.

Tattoos in the Workplace

Here's a thought to think about...

If it was socially acceptable to have tattoos any where you pleased, would you get a tattoo (or more tattooo)?

The reason I ask is because I currently have two tattoos, and I just question whether I would have more if I could...

Jobs turn down those who are tattooed. But is that right? I mean, yes, it may not be the most professional to have a visible tattoo in certain workplaces and professions, such as the medical field. I mean how ironic would it be for the man, or woman, lasering off your tattoo, to have a complete arm band?

I've never heard of a company who allows visible tattoos or piercings. I will admit, that it tends to rely on your manager as to how he will bend the company rules. Many retail companies, will bend the rules, according to the General Manager in charge, but with higher ups come in, body mods must be covered. Some customer service companies will allow for visible tattoos, as long as they are not offensive. Whether this is a part of the company policy or a managers choice, I don't know.

But, anyway... If you were to be hired even though you had visible tattoo, would you get more? Or would you get more visbible tattoos, versus those hidden under your clothes?

Just remember to make every tattoo your own. You are unique, so don't pick just any flash off the wall; pick one and make it yours.

Make your first tattoo meaningful.
Make it stand out in your life.


My first tattoo (picture above) is that of my first APBT. He was stolen from me on December 23, 2006. On his first birthday, I went and had his name and a pawprint tattoo on my inner right wrist. It will be a time that I will never forget, and a tatto that I will never regret. The tattoo is a part of my healing process.
