A powerful wolf inspired by Turkic mythology (Bozkurt / Grey Wolf), designed in traditional Japanese irezumi tattoo style. The wolf should look majestic, symbolic, and spiritual, not cartoonish. Include dynamic flowing composition, bold outlines, and rich colors typical of Japanese tattoos (deep red, black, gold, and dark blue). Add traditional Japanese elements like waves, clouds, wind bars, or cherry blossoms, but subtly integrate Turkic symbolism such as steppe atmosphere, ancient warrior spirit, or mythological aura. The design should look like a professional tattoo concept, suitable for forearm or sleeve placement, highly detailed but clean, with balanced composition.
