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.

Blackwork tattoos use solid black ink in bold, graphic compositions. The style ranges from large filled areas and heavy patterns to intricate designs that rely on contrast between ink and bare skin.

The back provides the largest continuous canvas on the body, ideal for detailed scenes and large-scale compositions. Upper back pieces are easy to conceal, while full-back tattoos make a dramatic statement.
