Wolves and humans have had a long history together. In different mythologies, wolves are seen as noble animals that have helped humans in different ways: as guidance, as hunters even as mothers and teachers.
Wolves are very instinctive creatures that usually trust their guts and make life-long commitments. They are very sociable and family-oriented, so they make excellent parents, too.
Although very close to their more domesticated cousins, the dogs, wolves have managed to stay wild and free. You can usually see them roam in packs and many times people will use the wolf formation as an example of how people should behave as a group during an exploration or hike.
So no wonder why you want to get a wolf tattoo. It’s a great symbol and the next examples will help you make the decision and get yourself inked with this amazing animal.
