There’s nothing that can soothe the profound loss of a baby. But inking a tattoo as a memory can bring some solace to the soul and commemorate the love and dreams you had for the little one. Such tattoos are often designed with angels, wings, flower buds, and the infinity symbol, along with a personal element that makes it uniquely dedicated to your fallen angel. Some designs also contain dates or names of the lost life as a symbol of honor. While these tattoos cannot change reality, they can bring hope and give the necessary strength to heal and move forward. In this article, you will find some hand-picked tattoo designs that look delicate but convey a strong message of love and loss. Read on and take a look.

Fallen Angel Tattoo Meaning

A fallen angel tattoo symbolizes the departure from innocence or a loss of purity. The design often reflects a complex personal journey, where the wearer navigates through darkness to find redemption or acceptance amidst all adversity. In terms of miscarriage, it represents the angel who was once hoped to fly into life and bring endless joy but unfortunately was lost. It depicts loss and grief for parents but also is a permanent plaque of the love they had for them.
