Because angels are seen as representing a link between the heavens and earth, between the material world and the spiritual world, an angel tattoo design can be regarded as a way to connect oneself to the spiritual world. Alternatively, there are angel tattoo designs that have a dark side.
I started out writing an article on this subject but I decided that I would let the images pull the info in a more informal manner.
This angel tattoo design is fairly popular and will be seen often in various styles.
The word angel, is basically derived from the Greek word "angelos", which means messenger. Hence, the connection between the material and spiritual worlds.

The fallen angel tattoo design in and of itself has a few different meanings. As you can see here, there is a tremendous amount of despair being depicted. Often times the fallen angel represents the loss of a loved one as we will see in the next image. However, the fallen angel tattoo design can also represent one's own fall from grace, perhaps from mistakes a person endures, to sadness, to abandoning the spiritual realm altogether. Whatever the case, the fallen angel's significance is daunting.
