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.

The ribcage offers a private placement that only shows when the wearer chooses. Its curved surface adds dimension to designs, though the area is known for being one of the more sensitive spots to tattoo.
