All handpoked and made to move! This is RATATOSKR (\u201edrill-tooth\u201c or \u201ebore-tooth\u201c) is a mischievous red squirrel in Norse mythology who runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil, constantly conveying malicious gossip, insults, and slander between the eagle at the top and the serpent N\u00ed\u00f0h\u00f6ggr below. He serves as a messenger who stirs conflict between the worlds. The squirell is mentioned in the Poetic Edda (Gr\u00edmnism\u00e1l) and Prose Edda (Gylfaginning). You see me feeding a representant of this symbol on the last picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handpoked Tattoo, still work in progress as it will be expanded later. Nordic handpoked Tattoo, freehand drawn directly on the skin in my studio in Germany. You will also find me as a resident artist in Sweden (V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
