Heart with Wings Tattoo FAQs

What does a heart with Wings tattoo symbolize?

Heart with wings tattoos combine the heart’s theme of eternal love with the grief of loss represented by the wings of an angel. It’s a tattoo meant to describe that although you’ve lost a loved one, they’re not far from your thoughts at all times. 

Heart with wings tattoos most often memorialize the loss of a lover or close family member, although they can depict the love of pets and close friends who’ve departed this plane as well. 

What can I add to my meaningful heart with wings tattoo idea?

The simplest heart with wings tattoo uses only a love heart in red or black ink with a set of wings attached.  

To further the memorial aspect of these designs, collectors add the name (or nickname) of their lost loved one, their date of birth, a quote, cross, halo, or link to things such as favorite activities. Some even opt to incorporate the idea of a sacred heart. 

These added touches further individualize the tattoo and add extra layers of profound meaning to the design idea. 

Where should I place my heart with wings tattoos?

Men often emblazon these tattoos across their chest to exemplify how close to their heart they are, while an outer forearm tattoo or elsewhere within general line of sight are other considerably effective placements. 

For female collectors the wrist and inner forearm tattoo are popular positions for the meaningful memorial tattoo, while the upper arm and shoulder tattoo positions also depict the idea of love, respect, and loss.

  • American Traditional and Neo Traditional style 
  • Simple, delicate black ink linework
