Wolf Tattoos - Tattoo Insider

Wolf tattoos make striking designs which will never go out of style. Appealing to both men and women, wolf tattoos come in a variety of designs, either as stand-alone tattoos or as part of larger tattoos.

The ideal placement for a wolf tattoo depends on the design and the wearer’s personal preference, but the forearm is the most popular site. The design itself can look great in a simple, line-drawn style, in an elaborate and colourful style, or even as part of a sleeve tattoo.

Symbolism and Meaning

Unlike many other tattoo designs, wolf tattoos don’t have a universal meaning or symbolism and the wolf is perceived in many different ways throughout the world. So, when planning a wolf tattoo, consider what wolves mean to you personally and convey that in your own unique wolf tattoo design.
