Wings Tattoo Designs & Meanings:

Wings are the power of flight, both in nature and in machinery. Therefore, it follows on that wings tattoos are a symbol of freedom, and being able to get away. It has always been the human dream to be able to fly - hence the wings symbolize this desire, and provide for an artificial way of achieving the impossible.

If we go deeper in to this, wings hold an intensely emotional meaning. Perhaps the reason some people choose to tattoo wings on them is because of a emotional roller coaster ride in the past, and a symbol of how they were able to break free from a destructive pattern and turn their life in to something more fulfilling.

For those who enjoy mystery and magic, wings represent the ultimate power - being able to withdraw from a battle scene, or move around in any direction at any time. Once again, the deeper meanings are at play here - perhaps granting the tattooed person the feeling of knowing that this is the closest they will ever get to having wings.
