The world of Viking tattoos and Norse symbolism is rife with misinformation, especially surrounding popular symbols like the Vegvísir and Ægishjálmur. While these staves are captivating, they are often misrepresented and marketed as "Viking" without historical basis. The people doing this are trying to make a quick profit from the Viking buzzword, which has gained a lot of popularity in recent times.

Mass-produced items aren't really an issue, they can be thrown away in favour of something authentic. Tattoos, on the other hand, completely different story. Those are permanent. If you're gonna spend your hard earned money and endure a lot of pain to decorate yourself in Viking/Nordic art, do your research. I’ve been there—I have tattoos I regret because I didn’t research properly.

My goal is to help you make informed decisions so you can honour your Viking ancestors with confidence.
