Wolf Tattoos

If your shopping for a wolf tattoo then you might just get some inspiration from the designs in the picture. Although most wolf tattoos show the more peaceful side of this animal, others like to express their aggressive side. These tattoos may show the angry appearance of a wolf, bearing its teeth and either rigid in a warning stance, or seeming to almost burst through the skin. Another example of this would be the werewolf. Known for their vicious tendencies, this depiction of ‘man turned beast’ may be shown stalking the streets of a city on a moonlit night.

They may also show the transformation between man and wolf. Two interesting mythological ties that can be used in wolf tattoos are that of the Celtic myth of the wolf greedily ingesting the sun, and the Roman myth of Romulus and Remus being looked after by a mother wolf. For the Celtic version, one can show either a full body, or bust of a wolf not only staring disobediently into, but drinking down a soft, and almost fluidic sun. For the Roman myth, you can portray the warm and inviting figure of a drowsy, yet defensive female wolf enfolded quietly around two small infants. This design may also be used by loving parents to represent their bond with their children.
