Wolf tattoo (warning, some weird pagan stuff)

[gwynhefar]

As some of you already know, I have three animals that I consider to be my totems, spirit guides, whatever term you want to use. Raven has the most influence, followed by Wolf and then Dolphin. When I got my first tattoo two years ago it was of a raven, and I searched long and hard for the perfect image. The idea was always to get one of each of my guides, but I knew that if I was going to put something on my body permanently, it had to be perfect, and they had to fit not only me and my relationship with them, but each other as well. After over a year of thinking and searching I found the raven image I wanted:





Just imagine that it's filled in black, and not just an outline, and that's what I have on my left shoulder. Since then, I've been searching for wolf and dolphin images that fit, and have had no luck. Until today. I think I've found my Wolf:





So, what do you think?

I like the raven. I think with a little looking you might be able to find a better wolf. It's not as intricate as the raven, and doesn't seem to match in my eyes. It might just be that the wolf is colored in and the raven isn't... The wolf is very cool, though.

I want to get a rune wheel on my wrist, or inside my forearm, though I'm not sure what I want to get inside it. I need to be careful where I get it, though, because I'm not allowd to have visible tatoos at work. I had a vision, I guess you could call it, with a Thor's hammer tattoo stretched across a man's shoulders, with the haft running down the middle of the back. Ridiculously expensive, but i'd like to get it eventually. Maybe also something along the lines of a hawk on my shoulder.

The wolf isn't as intricate as the raven, true. But I think the fact that the raven image isn't coloured in (unlike my tattoo, which is) is a big part of why they don't seem to match.

I like the Thor's hammer across the back image. Very nice. I have to be careful too since having a visible tattoo would at the very least narrow my employment options.
