 Cherub Tattoo Designs – Of the many tattoo symbols and designs with a religious theme,
two stand out in the popularity;
angels and the
cross. Angels are a
powerful tattoo image, as they profess faith and offer the wearer a
sense of protection and guidance. And cherubs are among the most
popular of the angel tattoo designs.

A cherub or cherubim, are angels depicted as infants or young
children, most often boys. Historically, winged figures with a human
form pre-date even the bible, going back to Assyrian myths and
legends. The winged figures were often sent as messengers or guides.
In Hebrew cherubim were supernatural entities mentioned several
times in the Old Testament and the Torah. |
 The concept of cherubs as "baby" angels does not emerge in Western
art until the late Renaissance in Italy. Such figures were known as
"putti".
Cherubs are often used in modern memorial tattoos to commemorate the
loss of a loved one, children in particular.
