Norse head tattoos show your connection to Scandinavia or what you believe in. They can also make you think about fate or nature.
Viking symbols can show our inner strength or protect us from harm.
Thor’s Hammer
Thor is the main god in Norse stories, and his hammer Mjolnir is a powerful weapon. He used it to protect Asgard – where he and Odin lived – from danger.
Thor’s Hammer is still a symbol of protection and strength today. Many people who like Norse gods use it as a lucky charm.
A hammer can also show boundaries and keep enemies away. It can be a sign of protection, power, and good luck symbol.
Fenrir
Fenrir is a scary monster in Norse stories, born to Loki and Angrboda as their son. He is the brother of Serpent Jormungand and Death Goddess Hel. He was tied up with a special rope at Ragnarok, and he did something terrible at Ragnarok.
Some people who follow Norse beliefs today see Fenrir as a symbol of things that can destroy our world and make it less stable. They also see him as a symbol of how power and justice are complicated in Norse stories. They can connect to his story in their ways.
Valknut
The Valknut is an old symbol found on stones, pots and other things by Germanic and Scandinavian people. It has three triangles that are linked together. They can be at the edge of circles or look like chains.
Valknut was used to remember warriors who died and Odin himself. Vikings thought that warriors who died in battle would be taken by Valkyrie and brought to Valhalla – Odin’s place after death – by Odin himself.
Today, the Valknut is a symbol for people who believe in Germanic beliefs. But some bad people who think white people are better than others also use it as a symbol of Nordic power.
Huginn & Munnin
Huginn and Muninn are Odin’s two ravens named “thought” and “memory.”
The Prose Edda says that God sends them out to Midgard every morning to get information for him. They give him all their knowledge before they go to sleep!
Huginn and Muninn are very important to Odin for some reasons. First, they are related to shamanism because Odin could send his thoughts and memories on trips when he was in a trance.
Sonnenrad
If you like Norse stories, you should get some Scandinavian tattoos on your body. They can show how much you like their history.
But before you get any tattoo, you should know if it has any lousy meaning – this is important for Norse head tattoos.
Some bad people who think white people are better than others use the sun rune. Nazis first used this symbol in the 1990s. It means the coming back of a white race and the new start of white people.
