I get asked about the design I've chosen for what I want as my first tattoo a lot. Its never easy to explain. And may sound stupid to some. It isn't a memorial for anyone, in fact, it would have no meaning for anyone but me. Its a deeper look into who I am, and to completely explain it, I'd probably sound like an idiot, lol.
Wolves. I hold some sort of fascination with them. Amazing creatures, with a family structure, or "pack" if you will, almost as complex as a human family. But the fact that once they choose their mate, they do so for life. They are completely devoted to their family, and fiercely protective of them. How they work together, their social habits, its all fascinating to me. And in many ways, its me, reduced to my most basic, primal form. Thus, a werewolf. A human being reduced to a primal, albeit, lupine, version of itself. Do I believe in them? Not at all, though I do love me some supernatural stories and myths, but its a great visual representation of what I'm trying to describe here. And from what I've been told, also describes me in those rare moments when something pushes me over the edge, lol, no, I'm not saying I grow fur and fangs and start howling at the moon. But I do take on a certain, more animalistic nature when someone hurts a member of my family, friends, or anyone else that I care about. I don't know if this makes any sense to any of you, and I honestly don't care if it doesn't, but its the best way I can describe my reasoning, its been more of a gut feeling. I saw the design, and everything clicked, its the very thing I was looking for, no ifs, ands, or buts. Take it or leave it, its what I want
