The Difference Between Angel and Devil Tattoos
January 26th, 2009
Image via WikipediaAllow me to introduce you into the secrets of this subject as I have spent a lot of time to research every aspect.
It’s bad enough that people get tattoos. Why someone would want to use their body as a canvas for pretty bad art is beyond some people. But to really go off the deep end people try devil tattoos. But devil tattoos don’t always have a sinister connotation.
The Devil is the ultimate evil. It’s a concept common to many of the west’s religions. Many people don’t know that even the Muslim religion has its own version of the Devil. The devil is known by other names such as Beelzebub and Satan. But in demon mythology each of these is a separate being. They aren’t all evil. Tattoos feature many of these beings.
Here is the story of the devil in the Christian tradition. The Archangel Lucifer was second only to God in heaven. He was considered the first among equals in the ranks of Archangels. But Lucifer became jealous of God himself. Lucifer thought he should rule in heaven. He began a revolt, recruiting many angels to his cause. God, Michael, and the other Archangels and Angels still loyal to God defeated Lucifer and his forces. Lucifer and all those who remained loyal to him were cast down from heaven. This myth is a popular subject for devil tattoos.
And with what measure you meet, it shall be measured to you.
Devil Tattoos trace the root of their name back to Old and Middle English. More specifically it’s the word devil. The old English word was deofol, which itself came from the Latin word the diabolus. That word was derived from the Greek word diabolos. That word is roughly translated as to slander across or to hurl the slander. The term now, in general, refers to a greater meaning of hell. In non-English languages devil generally derives from words meaning Angel. But strictly speaking in the culture from which these languages come, a devil is not the same thing as an angel. All of these roots can be incorporated into devil tattoos.
Devil tattoos carry a specific reputation with them. There is evil in a person who would have one. There could also be lewd behavior and mischief . But not everyone who wears them is a criminal. It can give a glimpse into their soul.
Devil tattoos sometimes carry a great stigma with them. Sometimes people see them as a demon mark. The devil marks his servants with this mark. That’s likely not true.
Leave the devil tattoos to others.
