So, I’ve been wanting a wolf tattoo for nearly a year now.
I’ve picked out what it will look like ( Shown in this link – Wolf | Flickr – Photo Sharing! )
But I can’t find a suitable place for it.
I was thinking the back of my neck, but my best friend (who did my First tattoo and will more than likely do this one) Thinks it would look odd there.
I was thinking my ankle, but I already have a tree on my right ankle and thought it would be weird to have my first tattoos on both my ankles.
Another thing is I REALLY do not want to have to switch the image into a mirror version of it.
I want it to look just like in the photograph.
I Can’t really put it on my upper back because I have really bad acne, and do not want it to affect my tattoo.
I was also considering my lower back on the left side. But I fear of people calling it a tramp stamp.
So now i’m thinking of putting it on my hip.
But I know I will have kids one day and I’m afraid that I will get fat or just my belly stretching will distort the image.
PLEASE HELP!!

Firstly, can you link your friends work please? The most important thing is too get a great artist.
On the ankle I think that is too small an area to do the photo justice but that’s just my opinion.
Hip sounds good but unless your walking around in a Gstring you wont really be able to appreciate it?
I think if you want it in detail with the body you will need a larger space.
Here’s My friend’s (Autumn Siska) work –

Does your friend do photo realism tattoos? I didn’t see any examples of that type of work in that link. It’s very important to find someone who can do it justice, especially since you want it to look exactly like the photo.
The back of your neck or ankle is too small and area to pull off a good version of this. I think your back is a good option since there will be more room for detail. The only downside of doing it on your back is that you can’t see it without a mirror so it’s harder for you to enjoy. I have a lower back tattoo and I don’t give a shit if people call it a tramp stamp – I love it and I chose that placement because I thought it would be the best place on my body for that particular design.
I have 2 tattoos on my right hip and I am 7.5 months pregnant currently and they have not stretched at all, and neither has the one on my back (even though I’ve gained like 30 lbs so far!). I worried about that too, but so far so good. I say find a good photo realism artist and get it on your back – maybe lower back off to one side 🙂
