31 Creative Wings Tattoo Designs
Red Bull gives you wings? No? Well, we just had to say the slogan that has been stuck in all our heads since we've heard it. This slogan does highlight the main meaning behind wings though. Wings make us feel liberated. We can fly off and do anything and be anywhere. That sense of freedom that we may sometimes be jealous of when we see birds fly in the sky.
A wing tattoo can mean many things but at its core, it will almost always reflect freedom. It could be freedom from a toxic relationship, freedom from childhood battles, freedom from your own anxieties; freedom. We know that a wing tattoo idea could be important for you to act as a reminder that you can never be tied down. We know that you might want a wing tattoo to remember how you have flown away from terrible situations. We know a wing tattoo design could motivate you to keep flying and aiming for higher goals. So many meanings in this symbolic tattoo design.
Wing tattoos can be minimal, detailed, big, small, and be customized with other elements. Hence, finalizing a tattoo could feel tough. That's why we're here with 31 unique wing tattoo ideas which can inspire your own wing tattoo. Let's go!
