Nordic Tattoo

Urnes Dragon and Skadi

I recently added Skadi on the lower arm to this Urnes Style handpoked Sleeve for a lovely client who is an archaeologist and works in a Museum. Winter is the best time to get this tattoo and I think the perfect metaphor for her. She is definitely connected to winter goddess.

Skadi or in Old Norse Skaði – is a giantess and goddess in Norse mythology. She is the goddess of the wilderness and winter, who hunts in the mountains on her skis. Her father is the giant Thjazi. And despite being a giantess, she is accepted by the gods of Asgard when she marries the sea god Njord.

I do Nordic Tattoos handpoked and with machine in a private studio in Sweden, Västra Götaland and in the south of Germany. You are welcome for a special experienece and a freehand drawn tattoo.

Have you ever thought about the importance of WHEN to get a tattoo in the year?
