Biblically Accurate Angels

I’m looking to get my first tattoo as a biblically accurate angel. However, after reading multiple books including Ezekiel and Revelations, it doesn’t seem that this really is biblically accurate, even though this is my favorite-looking depcition of one.

The depiction of seraphim with six wings comes from the Book of Isaiah in the Bible (Isaiah 6:2).

According to Isaiah, the seraphim use two wings to cover their faces, two to cover their feet, and two for flying. They are described as constantly praising God with the cry “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” In Christian angelology, seraphim are considered the highest-ranking angels, often depicted as being close to God’s throne.

My question is, if this particular angel only has six wings, why are people drawing it as 4-winged, 8-winged, and 10-winged and then proceed to claim it as “biblically accurate”?
