St. Michael angel tattoos designs are commonly very large and very detailed pieces. These are usually beautiful works of art.

The St. Michael Tattoo is usually seen on the forearm or as entire back piece. You may also incorporate it into a sleeve or put it on your calf. This tattoo is not meant to be in a small hidden place. This tattoo is usually seen as a guardian angel. Or done in memory of someone who is now your guardian angel. Believe it or not the St. Michaels tattoo is most commonly seen on men. Even though with its beauty can be a womans tattoo as well.

This tattoo looks great in black and grey with a touch of color to add lighting behind the angel. It also looks great with a lot of coloring. Coloring such as blue and red can be added in the robe. Yellows and oranges can be used as lighting. You can always add which ever colors you desire to the details in the background. It all depends of your preference and the size of the canvas. The angel is sometimes seen as a standalone piece but can be found surrounded by waves of light. You may also find the angel on a horse, kneeling, in battle, or in song.

Very commonly you will see the St. Michael angel; fighting evil or overcoming an obstacle. This tattoo is great for a story piece. Adding a single word as a wrap at the top or bottom of the piece is very popular. You may use words such as relentless, guardian, sinner or saint.

These pieces can be difficult so make sure as with any tattoo that you find the right artist for you. Do your research and make sure to explain in extreme detail what your vision for the tattoo is.
