Wolf Half Sleeve Tattoo

Fifteen by twenty-three centimetres of wolf, which on most forearms means from the wrist to just below the elbow. The head is snarling, ears flat, and the fur breaks off the top of the skull into thrown ink rather than fading out politely. Everything is high contrast, so it holds up at that scale instead of turning into a grey smudge.

Most temporary sleeve pieces you find online are water transfers that give up after three days. This one is jagua, so it develops into a real blue-black over 24 to 48 hours and stays for one to two weeks. Long enough to actually find out whether you want a wolf on your arm permanently.

• 15 × 23 cm · lasts 1–2 weeks · jagua ink, plant-based
