I was told a Native American story about two wolves, and without going into the story, I found it really relevant to me and I am now thinking about getting a tattoo of two wolves (on my shoulder) to reflect this story. The problem is that I can't find an appropriate picture.
I don't want a sketch of the wolves, or anything too mystical. More a tribal design. I know this really is a poor description of what I am after, but it is the best way I could explain it.
I would appreciate it if anyone could share some ideas.
Cheers!

on the other hand. a wolf tattoo is pretty gay. 95% of the time, tribal is gay. you do the math. you can always do an image search on google or yahoo. this site isnt a flash database.

I didn't realise wolf tattoos were a bad choice - although I am aware wolf t-shirts aren't a good choice!
Blackstoned, I also didn't realise the story was so popular,cliche, and played out - I had never head it before.

Don't mind threesix. If it doesn't say "axe murderer", he's not feeling it.

It is a very pop story. That is just my opinion
If u really like it, u should do what u want
Native American cliche tattoos were really popular in the late 80's and early 90's
I cant count the number of feather bands and wolfs ive seen
Unless its your heritage and i mean immediate heritage
I would stay clear of those type of tattoos

i dunno what these dudes are talking about... neo trad wolf tattoos can be sick! and wolf shirts are amazing, they've become comical , so all the hipsters in williamsburg are now wearing them and shit.. I'm serious, they're like a commodity here in NY.

Fuck what everyone else thinks of your idea, if it really struck a chord and this is something you're willing and proud to wear the rest of your life, then go for it. People are always gonna have opinions about your ink and your ideas, this should not sway you from making decisions toward your own life.
