Viking tattoos have become increasingly popular due to the dominance of fierce Viking warriors and their contribution to cultural institutions. During that time, people focused on appearance and esoteric symbolism, using body modification to enhance their looks.
Runes
Runes are ancient Norse letters with multiple interpretations. These powerful symbols serve as a guide and bring good fortune to daily life. Due to their rich history, runes are popular for Viking tattoos, evoking images of pagan rituals and fierce warriors. Neo-traditional tattoo styles can beautifully showcase the vibrant colors and intricate lines of Norse runes.
Ouroboros
tattoos depicting Ouroboros symbols incorporate ancient Viking traditions and symbolize life’s cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. This type of body art is perfect for those who embrace an awareness of natural processes and self-reflexivity. The Ouroboros is a mysterious and ancient symbol found across cultures, often represented as a serpent or dragon consuming its tail.
