Wolfpack Tattoo

The new Jacob Black tattoo he sports alongside his fellow wolfpack members (in New Moon) is thought to be based on original Quileute tribe tales and mixes it’s Native American Indian design alongside pop culture.

The films  production designer has been stated as saying (from Newspapers Rock as a source) “One thread that really stuck in my mind referenced the twinning of the wolf character having to do with strength and togetherness.” It is a double wolf motif and had 6 variations in both black and red, but one was chosen that is all black. Once maturity has been reached and shapeshifting powers have been released, each member must have this tattoo inscribed upon their shoulder. A symbolic branding almost of being part of a pack, clan or gang.

Tattoos have been existence since ancient times and continue to be popular today, indeed Native American Indian tattoos have extra meaning due to their closeness to such strong spiritual connections and sacred meanings, the entire style is furthermore unique to them in it’s beauty.
In terms of such tattoos a wolf signifies: Loyalty; spirituality; success; intuition; and perseverance. These certainly fit Jacob Blacks personality.

Naturally this is a temporary tattoo for the cast members playing as characters in the wolfpack but some fans may get this permanently etched onto their own skin as one has in the video below.
