Scandinavian Tattoo Ideas

Scandinavian tattoos are very popular nowadays, and sometimes one can find it difficult to get a suitable and unique Scandinavian tattoo design. In this post I offer you some ideas about such designs that you may use in creating your own tattoo.

First of all – there are some charms, such as “Aegishjalmur” - “helm of awe” and “Vegvisir” (runic compass), which is a variant of the Aegishjalmur.

Aegishjalmur is believed to bring protection and resistance in battles, while Vegvisir shows its owner the way and guides him or her. Below you may see a tattooed variant of this charm.

Another charm is Valnott – it is the symbol of those who dedicated their lives to the main Scandinavian god – Odin. It has a complex meaning of triple nature of Odin and three worlds – Asguard, Midgard and Utgard. Nevertheless, when one consciously wears the valknot, one is saying “it is a good day to die.” In other words, the wearer is ready to come to Odin whenever He calls. So, as you can see, valnott is not very popular tattoo design and should be chosen with care.

Another variant of Scandinavian tattoo is runes – the ancient alphabetic script used by the peoples of Northern Europe from the first century until well into the Middle Ages. Right here you can find their meanings and make up your own runic signs. Runes can also go well with the charms described above or with any others as well.

You can also design a tattoo of Odin or any other Scandinavian god that you like. Odin is the creator of the world, god of war, storms, trade and seafaring. His wife Frigg is the goddess of love, marriage and home fire. Loki is a canny god whose actions are hard to predict. Einherii are the fallen soldiers that after their death come to Valhalla – a heavenly hall for chosen ones, where the sit near Odin and celebrate their eternity. By the way, it seems to be a good design for a fallen soldier tattoo. Valkiries – women fighters that bring the fallen soldiers to Valhalla are a good choice for a tattoo, too.

Another interesting tattoo design, to my mind, can be wolf Fenrir – a monstrous creature that will devour Odin when the world will end. Among popular Scandinavian animals are also Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse of Odin and ravens that represent wisdom, intelligence, the ability to see all, swift travel, and magic. On the picture below you can see Odin riding his horse.

Delve into the Scandinavian mythology and you’ll find many ideas for a wonderful tattoo design.

Entering The World Of Tropical Tattoos

Beautiful flowers make our life more exciting, so it’s no wonder that tattoos of flowers and other bright tropical designs are one of the most popular and ancient types of tattoos besides such designs like evil cobra tattoo. Just like real flowers attract bees and butterflies, tropical flower tattoos attract people’s attention all over the world.

It’s a common fact that people who choose a certain type of tattoo design tend to express their individuality through it. That’s why only few persons choose a tattoo design that has already become and extremely popular template. But there will be no two tropical tattoos alike, because a great variety of flower tattoos exists. Moreover, tattooists from all over the world are very careful about creating a flower tattoo design: even a simple tattoo of a rose can be found in thousands of sizes and shapes. The choice becomes even more varied if you want to add something to the flower composition – a fairy, a heart, a butterfly or something else. Whether you make a big tropical flower tattoo on your back or a small wild flower on your ankle – you can always be sure that your tattoo will be a 100 per cent unique and original.

One of the most popular tropical flower tattoos is lily. Different types of lilies have their own meaning. Water lily means a pure heart, Hemerocallis stands for coquetry, and a Tiger lily says “Dare to fall in love with me”.

Another quite popular tropical flower tattoo is a Hibiscus. It’s a state flower of Hawaii and it symbolizes delicate beauty and sophistication.

And rose, of course, is an indispensable tattoo design. Every person has his or her own opinion about the meaning of this flower, though it has some standard and traditional ones. Red roses stand for love and union, pink roses mean “Let’s guard the secret of our love”, and white roses tell us that this person is worthy of our love. But these meanings are not obligatory.

One of the merits of tropical tattoos is that they suit both women and man. Of course, women are more free to choose, but men can always make a flower tattoo look masculine adding strict geometrical or Celtic ornament.
