Irish Celtic Unconquered Wolf Tattoo Design virgo An 8th century granite crossThis image of the wolf of Ireland unconquered by the English oppression dates back to the turn of the century, to the Fenian rebels. It shows a mighty wolf snapping the collar of slavery, bearing the sword of justice, stamping on the crown of monarchy. Beautifully stated in the timeless poem BONA NA CROIN that begins: "Neither your collar nor crown Shall I wear ~ my nose not brown, Nor I some clown in your court, In chains brought ~ a wolf to town.
