Howling Wolf Tattoo

Which way it faces

Nobody thinks about this until the transfer is already down, and then it cannot be changed.

A design with a clear direction has two possible orientations on a limb: facing forward, along the way you are walking, or facing back toward your own body. They read completely differently.

Facing outward, the wolf looks away from you and everyone sees it head-on as you pass. Facing inward, it looks toward you, which is quieter and more personal, and it is the way most people prefer a piece they are wearing for themselves rather than for anyone else.

Hold it against the spot both ways before committing. It takes ten seconds and you will have an opinion immediately.

A tall design

18.2 cm in height, so it needs a long placement: the outside of a forearm, a calf, an outer thigh, or alongside the spine.

Vertical designs on vertical limbs always look considered. The same piece across a shoulder looks like it landed there by accident.

The tones

Soft muted colours rather than heavy contrast, which makes it a quieter piece than most howling designs and easier to wear day to day.
