“Wings of a Precious Angel”
A selection of four images of Andie MacDowell, including close-ups that subtly reveal the sentimental angel-wing tattoo on her upper back.
The Story Behind the Ink:
Actress Andie MacDowell shared a touching new tattoo—a small angel wing on her upper back, inked at 11:45 p.m. during her daughter Margaret Qualley’s wedding reception in 2023. The tattoo artist was part of the festivities.
In her own words:
> “I put an angel wing on my shoulder to represent motherhood, and I think of my child as an angel. All of them, really. Precious angels to me, and that is what my father used to call me. His precious angel.”
The tattoo symbolizes the deep maternal bond she shares with her three children—Justin, Rainey, and Margaret Qualley—and honors the loving nickname her father gave her: “precious angel.” Many fans called it “a beautiful way to honor motherhood” and praised how meaningful and graceful it looked.

A single angel wing rests just where memories and love meet. For Justin, Rae, and Margaret—my “precious angels.” And in every curve of that delicate feather, a whisper of father’s love still swoops beneath my skin.”
