DESIGN WOLF TATTOO

Tattoo art in design wolf tattoo.

wolf tattoo

Wolf tattoos have a
one-of-a-kind place because
the wolf itself means
plenty of things to plenty of
people.

It can be a pest and
threat to the owners
of livestock, while
having spiritual
intending to tribal
societies, which
think about having a
powerful spirit
connected to it.

thing about wolf
tattoos I spotted is
those inking them
don't appear to have a
solid idea of what
they could do with it,
so while there's
some fascinating and
well done wolf
tattoos, much of them
were in ubiquitous
poses most of us think
of with wolves, and
there wasn't an terrible
lot of variety that
could be enjoyed.

Even so, I was four times able to
discover a few that looked
nice, and you
can see them here.

What I would love to
see more of with the
wolf tattoo is a full
body in assault or
hunting mode. There is
a small of that in some
of the wolf tattoo
designs, but no where
near what it could
have been.

Wolves are of the
most ferocious killing
machines in the wild,
and to not take
account of that loses
a quantity of the drama
and power that an
picture could capture.
Simultaneously,
some do convey the
teeth of the wolves
correctly, and those
are strong images.

Be far the 'howling at
the moon' tattoo is
the most popular wolf
tattoo, and while it
would must be part
of the wolf tattoo
style, I would go
another way if I was four times
going to have a wolf
inked on me.

But that is obviously
personal taste, so it is
not right or wrong in
that sense, but I
would have it
hovering over
something it
killed to eat, or
something like that,
than basically
standing howling with
a moon in the
background.

Another thing I would
like is a quantity of that
blood-red moon glow
or cloud line in the
background, I think
that would add
to the effect.

Mr. Kaves Shares a Mark Mahoney Portrait

A couple weeks back, I ran into Michael Kaves on 3rd Avenue, a couple blocks away from his shop, Brooklyn Made Tattoo. Kaves is also one of the founding members of The Lordz of Brooklyn. I know Kaves from around the neighborhood, and although I've never been tattooed by him, I have been under the needle in his shop and have had the pleasure of seeing him work first-hand and close-up on other clients.

He's familiar with Tattoosday and wanted to share a tattoo with us here on the site. Check it out:


Located on Kaves' upper right arm, this brilliant tattoo was inked by the legendary Mark Mahoney.

Kaves explained he had gone out to Los Angeles a couple months back and worked at Mahoney's renown shop, the Shamrock Social Club. They had a big launch for a limited edition tattoo pigment - "Mark Mahoney's Shamrock Green". He was there, working on St. Patrick's Day for the official launch.



Mahoney, known to many as the " founding father" of single-needle black and gray tattooing,  tattooed this portrait for Kaves, which took about twelve hours from start to finish.

And who is the woman tattooed on his arm? "It's my grandmother, Marie," he explained, "from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, right here on Third Avenue, 1945."


Kaves' own tattooing work first appeared on Tattoosday back in 2008 here. Most recently, his work has appeared here. This is, however, the first time we have been honored to share a tattoo by Mark Mahoney.

Thanks to Kaves for sharing this phenomenal tattoo by an American master, here with us on Tattoosday!

Repost for Memorial Dsy: A Traditional Naval Tattoo on a 21st Century Ship

This post originally appeared on November 7, 2009. I felt it was appropriate to re-post on Memorial Day, 2011:


 The USS New York was put into service today by the United States Navy.

Her hull was forged with steel salvaged from the rubble of the World Trade Center.

It's a momentous occasion indeed, and several crew members were in attendance with dignitaries earlier this week at the World Series.

As is happens, I noticed a gentleman in uniform outside of Madison Square Garden earlier in the week and he had this tattoo on both hands:


Turns out, the tattoo was modeled after this naval pin, which represents the rank of Boatswain's Mate, worn on the lapel:


The gentleman, whose name is Fred, serves on the USS New York, as the more commonly-known title of Ships Bos'n, and it seems appropriate to post this tattoo today as the ship officially enters the naval fleet.

Fred has been in the service for 26 years, and has seven or eight tattoos all told.

As Ships Bos'n he works with mission systems on amphibious maneuvers.

The crossed anchors are traditional naval insignia and, even though he drew this design himself and they weren't inked in a traditional tattoo shop, he recognizes the crossed anchors as symbols of his dedication to the trade.

I thank Fred for his service to our country, as well as his willingness to contribute to Tattoosday. We wish him well as he serves with pride on the USS New York!

Life is War

Back in April, I met Joshua outside of Penn Station, and he shared this, one of his five tattoos:


This forearm tattoo, exemplifies Joshua's philosophy that life is war: "you have to go through war to get where you're going."

An ex-girlfriend drew it up for him and then he had it tattooed by Jamie at Bullseye Tattoo Shop in Staten Island, New York.

Thanks to Joshua for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Chad and the City

I met Chad one afternoon in April outside of Madison Square Garden. He shared this tattoo which is on his left shin:


As one might have guessed, Chad is a huge fan of the former HBO series Sex and the City and this is one of a large number of tattoos that he has. When I asked how many he had, he quipped “I have no clue.”

Chad’s work was inked by Eileen Fabbricatore at Lady Luck Tattoo in Aurora, Colorado.

Thanks to Chad for sharing these tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
