Discovered in 1870, they are now housed @historiska i Stockholm and are famous for their complete mythological scenes. Dating back to the Vendel Period (550-800), each plate features different mythological designs, including depictions of warriors and figures reminiscent of Norse gods like Odin. Plate number 2 notably shows a figure with a missing right eye, suggesting Odin, who sacrificed an eye for wisdom. This figure is accompanied by a wolfman, interpreted as a berserker, symbolizing the frenzy of battle. They were likely used for mass production by placing foil against the scenes and applying pressure from the back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#nordictattoo #handpoketattoo<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f37e9e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-info\" data-id=\"f37e9e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-info.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-inline-items elementor-icon-list-items elementor-post-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-repeater-item-c9c3a9a elementor-inline-item\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text elementor-post-info__item elementor-post-info__item--type-date\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<time>18.

A very powerful sign and symbol. Its the perfect time to start something new, to left behind whats not serving anymore. It brings me directly to the connection of Raido. The&nbsp;Raido rune (\u16b1)&nbsp;is strongly associated with the horse, representing the journey of life, movement, and the \u201eride\u201c of the horse itself.&nbsp;Raido is known as the rune of the journey, representing both physical travel and spiritual, internal, or emotional evolution. It implies taking initiative, gaining control of one\u2019s life, and finding the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tattoo shows Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse of Odin. It is inspired by the Tj\u00e4ngvide image stone. This is a Viking Age artifact from Gotland, Sweden, significant for its detailed mythological carvings. Discovery and Location: The stone was discovered in 1844 on a farm in Tj\u00e4ngvide, Gotland, and is now housed at the Swedish Museum of National Antiquities in Stockholm @historiska<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image: Anst\u00e4lld vid SHM, Historiska museet\/SHM (CC BY 4.0)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nordic Tattoo Sweden &amp; Germany \u2014 Freehand drawn directly on the skin.

And the second sleeve of this brave man. The Mammen style grew out of the Jellinge style, and it can sometimes be difficult to tell them apart. The name comes from a small, decorated axe-head, you will find in the last slide here, from a grave in Mammen, Denmark. Recent dendrochronological dating has suggested a date of c. 970 for the grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Axe is inlaid with silver wires: on one side is a foliate pattern. On the other side, which you see on the picture is a bird. The body of the bird is thicker than the ribbon-like bodies of the Jellinge style animals: it is decorated with dots, and there is a large spiral hip. The wings and tail are drawn into long, curving tendrils. At the top of the axe is a human face mask with round eyes, a large nose and a spiral beard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u270d\ud83c\udffb I have free bookings in Sweden this year.

It depicts J\u00f6rmungandr and Thor meet again when Thor goes fishing with the j\u00f6tunn Hymir. This tattoo was done over several sessions. All freehand drawn and inspired by the Gotland picture Stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further in the story Hymir refuses to provide Thor with bait, Thor strikes the head off Hymir\u2019s largest ox to use it. They row to a point where Hymir often sat and caught flatfish and where he drew up two whales. Thor demands to go further out to sea and does so despite Hymir\u2019s protest. Thor then prepares a strong line and a large hook and baits it with the ox head, which J\u00f6rmungandr bites. Thor pulls the serpent from the water, and the two face one another, J\u00f6rmungandr blowing atter. Hymir goes pale with fear. As Thor grabs his hammer to kill the serpent, the j\u00f6tunn cuts the line, leaving the serpent to sink beneath the waves and return to its original position encircling the earth. The Eddic poem Hymiskvi\u00f0a has a similar ending to the story, but in earlier Scandinavian versions of the myth in skaldic poetry, Thor successfully captures and kills the serpent by striking it on the head. Thor\u2019s fishing for J\u00f6rmungandr was one of the most popular motifs in Norse art. Four picture stones that are believed to depict the myth are the Altuna Runestone and the Ardre VIII image stone in Sweden, the H\u00f8rdum stone in Denmark, and a stone slab at Gosforth, Cumbria by the same sculptor as the Gosforth Cross. Many of these depictions show the giant cutting the fishing line; on the Altuna stone, Thor is alone, implying he successfully killed the serpent. The Ardre VIII stone may depict more than one stage in the events: a man entering a house where an ox is standing, two men leaving, one with something on his shoulder, and two men using a spear to fish. The image on this stone has been dated to the 8th to 10th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nordic Tattoos in Sweden.

Winter is the best time to get this tattoo and I think the perfect metaphor for her. She is definitely connected to winter goddess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skadi or in Old Norse Ska\u00f0i \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do Nordic Tattoos handpoked and with machine in a private studio in Sweden, V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland and in the south of Germany. You are welcome for a special experienece and a freehand drawn tattoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever thought about the importance of WHEN to get a tattoo in the year? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#nordictattoo #nordicmythology #swedentattoo #handpoketattoo #tattooinspiration<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f37e9e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-info\" data-id=\"f37e9e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-info.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-inline-items elementor-icon-list-items elementor-post-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-repeater-item-c9c3a9a elementor-inline-item\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text elementor-post-info__item elementor-post-info__item--type-date\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<time>24.
