Matching geometric wolf heads on forearms
Geometric · Forearm · Colour · Photo
Two forearms are shown side by side, each with a wolf head tattoo built from angular, faceted shapes. The left wolf is rendered mainly in grey and muted teal, while the right is in deeper blues and turquoise, with shading that creates a low-poly effect. The wolves sit at a similar height on each arm against a plain dark skirt and denim sleeves.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction
The hall of mirrors had been packed in straw for three winters, and Mags Dunning still knew every crack in the glass by touch. Her father had cut the panels himself in a back-street workshop in Walsall, angling each one so the lamplight broke into facets of pewter and river blue. When the show moved on, she was the only one who could tell which pane was true and which had clouded from damp.

The banner over the ticket booth had been her father's last big job before his chest gave out. Two wolf heads, one grey and one blue, built from the same angled shapes as the mirrors, so that from a distance they looked carved rather than painted. Nell had always said the grey one was Mags and the blue one was herself, and Mags had never told her that the grey one looked more like their mother. Nell took the blue wolf's lorry to Scotland the spring after the funeral, with a contract from a travelling circus that wanted a glass-cutter who could work fast and not ask questions.
She came back at Michaelmas with a cracked wrist and a cardboard box of offcuts she said were worth more than the wages. Mags took the box without opening it, and together they carried the grey wolf down from the booth and propped it against the caravan steps. Nell held up one of the offcuts to the sun. Through it, the two faces lined up exactly, the blue one sliding over the grey until the edges met in a single sharp outline.
