Fenrir Tattoo

A dynamic and powerful project featuring a monstrous wolf.

M. and I previously worked on a tattoo project featuring a tiny, adorable sleeping dog—a true cuteness overload. Despite its small size, it marked the beginning of a great collaboration. 

M. is a passionate admirer of Norse mythology, with a particular fascination for Ragnarök. This time, our inspiration came from Fenrir—the colossal wolf that chases and swallows the moon and sun. Working with Nordic creatures provided the perfect canvas to showcase my favorite tattoo techniques, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. Being on the same page as clients always gives me an extra boost of energy and motivation.

In Norse mythology, Fenrir is a monstrous wolf, the offspring of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. As Fenrir grew larger and more powerful, the gods, fearing its strength, attempted to bind it. The wolf proved so formidable that only the magical ribbon Gleipnir, crafted with impossible-to-find materials and hair-thin, could restrain it.

Fenrir tattoos are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal and the rich symbolism associated with Norse mythology. Designs may feature a fierce and majestic depiction of Fenrir, often in a dynamic and powerful pose, sometimes incorporating elements like chains or symbols of the gods.

The captivating symbolism behind the legendary wolf tells a story of loyalty, restraint, and the inevitability of transformation.
