All handpoked and freehand drawn on the skin. The Urnes style is an art style from the late Viking age, used around c. 1050\u20131125 AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name of the style comes from the ornamentation on the portal of the Urnes stave church you see below in Vestland County, Norway, and was coined by the Norwegian archaeologist Haakon Shetelig (1877\u20131955) in 1909.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Urnes style is the last phase of Viking art. The style is a refinement of the Ringerike style and depends upon interplay of gracefully curving lines for its effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The animals are still curvaceous and one or more snakes are included with the quadrupeds. The spiral hip is still used, but it is not as large as in the Mammen and Ringerike styles. The animals have large almond-shaped eyes and often bite one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Urnes style was also often used on runic stones, when the runic inscription was carried within the body of the animal. A good example from Lingsberg, Uppland, Sweden, has a Christian cross and two Urnes style animals which carry the runic inscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A handpoked tattoo sleeve done in several sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urnes Stav Church.

This find from the Viking Age 750 &#8211; 1100 AD is exhibited @historiska in Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The S\u00f6derala vane (Swedish: S\u00f6deralafl\u00f6jeln) is a weather vane dating from the Viking Age, richly ornamented and made of gilt bronze. It derives its name from S\u00f6derala Church in S\u00f6derala, Sweden, where it was used as a weather vane during the 18th century. It was most probably originally used as a vane on a Viking ship, and shows signs of wear. On stylistic grounds, it has been dated to c. 1050. It is today part of the collections of the Swedish History Museum. A copy of the vane is in S\u00f6derala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The S\u00f6derala vane consists of a triangular plate, made of gilt bronze and reinforced by smaller bronze plates and rivets in some places. A small sculpture of an animal, kept separately from the vane when it was bought by the museum, was originally attached to the top end of the bronze plate. The curved edge of the plate is pierced by several small holes, in which some kind of loosely hanging decorations may once have been attached. The plate itself is decorated with depictions of three beasts, interlaced with each other and with other purely decorative elements such as spirals, in a style closely related to that of Swedish burial monuments from the middle of the 11th century. The main decorative element is a depiction of a Norse dragon with wings, its forelegs and neck stretched somewhat like a horse about to rise. Its back is comparatively small. The dragon is very similar to a dragon depicted on a tombstone from the mid-11th century from Sundby Church in S\u00f6dermanland, Sweden. Another creature lies coiled around the forelegs of the dragon, while the third, legless, is wrapped around the body of the dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#nordictattoo #ringerike #vikingart #tattoosweden<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669-819x1024.jpeg\" class=\"wp-image-10300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669-10x12.jpeg 10w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669-1200x1500.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_0669.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"842\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295-842x1024.jpeg\" class=\"wp-image-10299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295-842x1024.jpeg 842w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295-247x300.jpeg 247w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295-768x934.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295-1263x1536.jpeg 1263w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295-10x12.jpeg 10w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295-1200x1460.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_6295.jpeg 1284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Ola Myrin, @historiska SHM CC By 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/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>30.

They were likely used for mass production by placing foil against the scenes and applying pressure from the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992-773x1024.jpg 773w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992-768x1017.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992-1160x1536.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992-1200x1589.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ancientskin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/img_4992.jpg 1284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Historiska Sweden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.

Recent dendrochronological dating has suggested a date of c. 970 for the grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u270d\ud83c\udffb I have free bookings in Sweden this year.
