Viking Tattoo Design - How your tattoo unique Nordic

One of the most popular tattoo designs is that of Viking warriors to a real Viking. Nordic tattoo If you are getting, you'd probably just an image of something real, a historian. Then reject the draft, the Normans, who are the helmets with horns. This presentation of a Scandinavian boating has grown popular as late as the 19th century. The only remaining authentic helmet, comes from the Viking Age was found in Gjermundby, Norway, and has no horns. Norse warriors were very practical people and their weapons designs were usually quite simple. They have not estimated usability, spectacular effects. It 's true there are a couple of photos, the Viking Age ceremonial helmets with two ledges ending with heads of birds or snakes, but they look very different and were not used in battle.

The same goes for the wings. Helmets with wings are not historians. Vikings do not use. A fairly popular> Valkyrie wing tattoo design is based on the movie Max Payne. To see people like this movie Valkyrie male demonic creatures with wings. The fact is that in Norse mythology, Valkyries are female deities without wings. They were on the horns as a drinking water service, warriors to Valhalla, showed a place where brave people came to his death.

The other thing to avoid in authentic Viking Axe tattoo designs is huge double. The axes were used by the Normans and more easilyused with one hand. During the period of transition from the medieval Scandinavian Viking also known as Dane Axe, which was great, in fact, but it was not a double. No double ax was found in early medieval Europe.

A Norse inscription is perhaps the best way to get your unique Viking tattoo design. However, to obtain a correct recognition is a real challenge. I advise you to follow these steps:

Decide whether you want to have a writtenin runes or letters
If you want it in runes, decided to use this system of runes (there are many runic alphabet)
If you still want to decide in runes, which is Old Norse runes, or just words in English
In my opinion, a fresh Nordic is not necessarily written in runes. In the Icelandic sagas, were our main source of information on Vikings, not written in runes. A quote from a forecast in the original Old Norse would certainly be very coolViking tattoo design.

If the inscription in runes, and you the exact idea of what the entry is (you have text in English or Norse), then the next step is to decide which one to use runes. The Futhark was all Germanic tribes from the 2nd to 8th Century uses. The Younger Futhark began at the end of the 8th century and was developed in Scandinavia by the 10th century adopted. It exists in two versions: Long BranchShort and Twig Younger Futhark. We recommend using the Anglo-Saxon runes. There was also a variant called staveless secret runes runes.
