Wolf tattoos can either be designed as very dainty, making them ideal for a female, or a larger design customized for a man. Because of their versatility, a wolf tattoo can be placed almost anywhere on the body, including the arm, shoulder, neck, chest, back, ankle, etc.

In addition to browsing through variations of a wolf tattoo at the local tattoo parlor, which anyone can do, many individuals opt for getting a little more creative when it comes to their tattoo. Nobody wants the same cookie cutter design as everyone else, which is why some opt for researching real life photos of wolves in order to help them select their favorite images to be recreated in the form of a wolf tattoo. Once they have selected the perfect picture, individuals can often take that photo to their tattoo artist and request that it be used as the inspiration for their new wolf tattoos.

Wolf Tattoo Designs

Before the purchase or application of a wolf tattoo, an individual should make sure that the artist is properly trained and licensed to produce a safe and quality tattoo. Any tattoo, including a wolf tattoo, is not to be applied by an amateur or anyone who has not been properly trained in the handling and sterilization of tattoo equipment. If you have any questions about the safety of your tattoo, be sure to ask the artist who applies it. He/she will bandage the site of the tattoo and provide you with instructions on how to avoid infection and general care for the site until it has completely healed.

Nautical Star Tattoos

Nautical Star Tattoos
The nautical star tattoo is the most masculine design amongst star tattoos. Nautical star tattoos are considered old school. In the early days of tattooing, they used to be popular amongst sailors, who had them for guidance and protection. Sailor Jerry is a famous tattoo artist from those days.

The nautical star is a 5-pointed star, the points are split in half and filled with an alternating color (usually black-red or black-white), creating a 3d illusion.
Sailors used stars and the North Star (aka Polaris) for navigation, so it's not hard to see why so many of them have star tattoos. They function as a guide to get them back home safely. Soldiers have them for the same reason. Swallow tattoos also have a similar kind of nautical history.

Also today, people have star tattoos for similar reasons, you can rely on them when you are lost in your life, they are a light in the darkness.
In Ireland the nautical star is a symbol for good health, it's an old Pagan symbol you can find in certain Irish hospitals.

The nautical star tattoo has a special meaning in the gay and lesbian community. Some gay and lesbian people have a nautical star tattooed on their wrist as a sign of their disposition. The wrist is a place that can easily be covered by wearing a watch or a bracelet. Curiously, many celebrities have a star tattoo on their wrist (see further).

The nautical star is also a popular punk rock tattoo design.
