75 wolverine or raccoon tattoos (and their meaning)

One of the animals that has the greatest symbolism in the local tribes is the wolverine. Its English translation is “ raccoon ", A term that comes from the indigenous tribes of the Algonquins and means" one who clings with his hands. "

Indian symbolism

It is one of the most common North American tribal tattoos, although the symbolism they give to wolverines varies greatly. Their most remarkable ability is disguise thanks to the black stripes. This is one of the best reflections of the most occult and deepest personality of every person, the unknown side that everyone carries within themselves. In Latin, the symbolism of this animal is very direct because it is believed to represent an "alter ego".

It also represents a lifelong tendency to give and receive. One of the most important characteristics of this animal is its front paws, which it uses like hands: it can use them like humans.

On the other hand, wolverines are very curious and will never leave the place until they are carefully examined. Those with a wolverine tattoo are more likely to find themselves curious.

Current symbolism

Wolverine tattoos are quite common among those who like to go on the wildest adventures, who like to explore and understand the reason for things; but also, of course, in those who manage to get what they want, while no one understands what devices they used to achieve their goals - since this animal is full of mysteries.

If one dares to venture a little deeper into the dark side and since this animal wears a kind of mask around its eyes, a wolverine tattoo can be a metaphor for the different sides of each person throughout life.

Another meaning is the ability of a tattooed person to keep their secrets, since wolverines are quite invisible and their presence is usually not detected. It is said that those who identify with the Wolverines are very good at theater and acting as they easily "transform" into different people.

Tattoo style

Wolverine and animal tattoos in general look good when realistic. More recently, however, they began to be depicted as mandalas or in the form of geometric shapes.
