The origins of the guardian angels come from Christianity, which holds that each person has a guardian angel whose purpose is to protect that person from danger and crisis. Getting your own Guardian Angel Tattoo is not reserved to to Christians only, and many people, with different religious beliefs choose 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.

Most people picture angels with wings, but in fact, the Bible doesn't mention angels that have wings. Cherub tattoos are a popular form of guardian angel tattoos and for many, the cherub is the ultimate guardian angel figure. In the Old Testament they are described as the throne bearers of God and in Islam and Christianity they are described as celestial attendants of God who praise him constantly.
