Heathen tattoos

Post by Th0rn »

I have three tattoos that show my devotion to the Gods and Asatru, and I figured I would share them here.

My triple horns

Hugin and Munin with the Valknut:

And the Binderune for my kindred With Kaunaz, Raido, Kaunaz for the Crooked River Kindred:

Image
Yes — 'tis decreed my sword no more
Shall smoke and blush with hostile gore.
To my Great Father's feasts I go,
Where luscious wines for ever flow.
Which from the hollow skulls we drain
Of kings in furious combat slain.

Very well made, you must know a talented tattoo-artist. I myself have no tattoo's (yet), but several non-heathents I know have heathen-ish tatoo's, including a Orthodox who's about to get a Valkery.

I have The Triple Horn of Odin as well, on my left shoulder. It's my only tattoo for now, and I really love it. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it :)

I wonder if I should post my ink on here.

Nice tats! I plan on getting a back piece of my family crest in a few months. :)

That is just the basics of what I want. I want the colors to be more dull and dreary, with a Celtic Cross instead of that one. A lot of little things I want different.

it won't let you link the image directly on that website, but I found it.

My coat of arms is italian, and not easily found online. There are a bunch of sites that do fake ones, so I avoided all the online site and emailed the college of heraldry in italy. They photocopied a sketch of the coat of arms from one of their books and emailed it to me, with the coloring information. It's pretty cool.
