Werewolves
From the Greek λυκάνθρωπος: λύκος, lukos, "wolf", and άνθρωπος, anthrōpos, man.
A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope, is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shape-shift into a wolf or an anthropomorphic wolf-like creature, either purposely, by being bitten by another werewolf, or after being placed under a curse. This transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon. Werewolves are often attributed superhuman strength and senses, far beyond those of both wolves and men. The werewolf is generally held as a European character, although its lore spread through the world in later times. Shape-shifters, similar to werewolves, are common in tales from all over the world, most notably amongst the Native Americans, though most of them involve animal forms other than wolves.
Werewolves are a frequent subject of modern fictional books, although fictional werewolves have been attributed traits distinct from those of original folklore, most notably vulnerability to silver bullets. Werewolves continue to endure in modern culture and fiction, with books, films and television shows cementing the werewolf's stance as a dominant figure in horror.Werewolves in dreams are believed to be symbols of dark transformation. Whereas in fiction werewolves are known to be evil and wicked. When it comes to body art werewolves are known to include all of these along with a feeling of unrestrained and raw sensuality. It is for these reasons that werewolf tattoos are known to be very valued pieces of horror.
Most of the werewolf tattoos are on a fantasy idea. Normally they are shown as a foul beast who stalks streets on nights illuminated by the moon. Few of such pieces are completed in black or skin tones. Some also are done on light blue or heavy green tones. Few werewolf tattoos are tasteless and loud. Very rarely people go in for werewolf tattoos shown as symbols instead of their true translations. For instance they could go in for a small piece, circular in shape that resembles a metal stamp. Such a stamp could depict pointed long ears, glowing green or red eyes and fangs. Or then you could make an emblem that has the werewolf on one side or then the crest could have half beast and half human form. If you have the crest you could even include symbols that further enhance the evil side of the beast or show a contrast between the evil and the good
