Wolf tattoos, 130 best ideas (and their meaning)

Tattoos are a body art to show a part of your personality to the rest of the world. However, your tattoos do not define who you really are. In today's world of criticism and judgment, people who wear tattoos are often seen as delinquents, rebels, bizarre creatures, or worshipers.

It is unfair that tattooed people must suffer this discrimination because the tattoos go beyond what our eyes see. They carry messages hidden behind these symbols and forms that seem to have no meaning. Each tattoo has a personal meaning for the wearer. There is a story behind every tattoo – a story that can be too personal to share with words.

Ideal placement of wolf tattoos

A wolf tattoo is a remarkable drawing to show. You should choose a place where it will be easily noticed by those around you. For more extended wolf tattoos, you can choose the back, which is the most spacious part of the human body. You may decide to completely cover your back with the tattoo design or place a minimalist design on one side, just a little below the shoulders.

Legs and thighs are also popular places for wolf tattoos. Placing your tattoo on these parts of the body will give you a sexier and hotter touch. These two places are perfect for people who want to be able to show or hide their tattoos as they please.

Placing a smaller wolf design on your neck can also have a fantastic rendering. This tattoo will look super cool when you tie your hair (for women) or when you wear a sleeveless top (for men).

Preparation tips before the tattoo session

If you get tattooed for the first time, you will probably feel a bit nervous and have a lot of questions to ask. Does it hurt? How long will the procedure take? How much will my tattoo cost me? What should I prepare for the session? These are just some of the questions that will come to you naturally in mind if you are thinking of getting yourself a tattoo. Do not worry, they are completely normal.

Beginners must absolutely have had a good night's sleep before going to the rendezvous set by the tattoo artist. Some people do not support the sound of tattoo guns, so having a relaxed mind before starting the session can help you a lot.

You must also eat well and drink plenty of fluids before going to the tattoo studio. This will help you support the entire procedure. Because, if it is true that the realization of a tattoo is painful, the pain is not exactly intolerable. Each person has a different level of pain tolerance, so you should not be scared if your friends tell you that the procedure was difficult for them. Who knows? You may even laugh because you can not find the tattoo painful at all.

If you're nervous because you're going to get your first tattoo done, you can go to the session with a friend so he can make the conversation during the process. This will help you forget the physical discomfort caused by the tattoo.

Estimation of realization costs and standard prices of wolf tattoos

Wolf tattoos can have very different sizes and designs. These two factors directly affect the price of the service. If your wolf drawing is very large, you will probably spend between € 250 and € 500. This price range corresponds to the prices charged by the popular tattoo studios. If you want to have a cheaper tattoo, you can go to a local tattoo studio, which will probably charge you half the price of fashionable studios.

Just be sure to bring your drawing with you, otherwise the tattoo artist might ask you for a supplement for the creation of the drawing. The more complicated your design, the more expensive your tattoo will be. So make sure your drawing matches the budget you have.

Maintenance tips for wolf tattoos

Once your wolf tattoo is engraved on your skin, it is normal that you are excited. But you should not forget to listen to the list of post-session care – that the tattoo artist will mention. Follow these tips carefully if you want to get the best results once the tattoo healing process is complete.

One of the tips generally given by tattoo artists is to not wear too tight clothing until the skin is healed. As the tattoo procedure hurts the skin, wearing tight clothing could be extremely painful. The place where your tattoo is is covered with semi-liquid substances produced by the injury and your clothes could adhere to the wound – which could then cause skin infections. It could also get the ink out of the tattoo and discolor it.

If you want to prevent your tattoo from fading quickly, remember to apply sunscreen every time you go out. Even so, you will have to avoid staying in the sun too long.
