My back tattoo of the wolf and sword.

What does it mean to you?
It symbolized strength and my love and connection with wolves and the additional paw prints are to symbolize my daughter.

I got my first tattoo in San Mateo, CA on my 18th birthday. It's a raven which symbolized the courage to enter darkness based on a Native American mythology.

Why should we feature your tattoo?
