Few animals carry as much symbolic weight as the wolf. It is a pack hunter and a solitary wanderer, a protector and a predator, a figure of myth across every continent where wolves have roamed.

Combining the strong linework of traditional tattooing with contemporary shading and color theory, neo-traditional pieces feel both familiar and fresh. The style allows for more realistic proportions while keeping the iconic bold look.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
