A female fallen angel tattoo is a type of body art that depicts a beautiful angel with a darker, more menacing look. The art is often based on images of angels from literature and mythology, usually with a female figure in the center. The angel is often depicted wearing a flowing dress and wings, often with a halo above her head. The symbolism behind female fallen angel tattoos can range from protection to defiance and strength. Some may even choose to have the angel depicted as a symbol of mourning or sorrow.
