Best Answer

Tattoos, like jewellery and most other forms of personal adornment have more meaning for the person wearing them than whatever the "common" interpretation is. When in doubt, ask the person wearing the symbol. That said wolves are pack animals - co-operation or being a member of a specific group. They are hunters/predators - the ability to "look after" ones self and or family /group, or as a threat (hunter). The "lone wolf" is a symbol of one outside the group/society. Wolf is the Teacher to some native Americans, the Romney see them as a threat, and some pagans see them as spirit guides and helpers. As I said, your best bet is to ask the person wearing the symbol.

Every tribe held a different view, and legend of the wolf. You would need to be more specific before that question could be answered.
