Man’s relationship with animals is long and complex, going back as far as per-historic times of humans wandering the Serengeti, hunting and gathering. Some people use tattoos to commemorate the relationships they form with the dogs and cats that make life just a little bit more enjoyable.

Others draw inspiration from the wild animals of the natural world for their tattoos: few images are more striking than a fierce tiger, baring teeth or a solitary wolf howling in the distance.
