Many people believe that guardian angels exist and that they protect all souls on earth, whether they be good, bad, or simply lost. Angels were meant to guide us to the right path. So, getting a guardian angel tattoo would be great way of constantly reminding yourself to do good and be righteous.
People have believed in guardian angels since ancient Grecian times. Almost all cultures believe that the guardian angel is sent by the Gods to look after the well-being of someone who is vulnerable or in danger of being harmed by evil forces. These evil forces need not be of supernatural nature, but may be normal people who wish to see harm befall upon you.
Angels are heavenly creatures and messengers of divine origin, and they are meant to possess great powers which help protect the weak and the good-hearted souls.
