What Viking symbols to get tattooed on the arm?

Several Vikings symbols can be tattooed on the arm. Of all of them, the most common are:

• Runes: This is an alphabetical system that the Vikings used to communicate with gods when they needed assistance.
• The Aegishjalmur: composed of eight armed spikes connected by a central point, this helmet of fear represented for the Vikings, protection and superpowers and would give them the courage to defeat their enemies.
• The Valknut triangle: very popular in the world of tattoos as in the world of jewelry , this triad of intertwined triangles is the symbol of the god Odin.
• Ouroboros: it is the symbol of the serpent biting its tail. It expresses unity and the perpetual cycle of rebirth and destruction.
• The Viking bracelet.
• Etc.

Other Viking symbols like ships, Odin's horn, Odin's ravens, can also be fitted to the arm.

What Viking tattoos to do on the forearm?

The forearm represents the inner self. Even if it is relatively less muscular and narrower than the arm , it lends itself to the creation of delicate symbols from Norse and Viking mythology. These include, among others:

• The Vegvisir or Vegvisir compass: it is a compass endowed with powers to protect and guide. It comes in the form of a compass with 8 branches sometimes surrounded by runes and composed of circles, semi-circles and points . 4 of the branches represent the cardinal directions and the other 4, the inter-cardinal directions. As a tattoo, this symbol indicates the faith of its wearer to make his way despite any obstacles that may arise in his path on earth.
• Yggdrasil: He is a ferocious wolf spawned by the deceitful god Loki.
• Thor's Hammer or Mjolnir: Associated with thunder, lightning, and storm, no other weapon in Norse mythology can compare to it. This symbol gave the Vikings power, courage and generosity.
• Yggdrasil: it is the great Tree of Norse mythology. It is considered the Tree of Life . It controls the 9 worlds and provides the connection between the elements in the universe. In tattoo, it represents deep knowledge, absolute power and mystical deity.
• The Helm of Awe: With a shape reminiscent of the Vegvisir, this mysterious and powerful symbol of Norse mythology embodies strength and invincibility. It is the symbol of warriors.
• Etc.

It should also be noted that several Viking symbols like Viking bracelet tattoos or Viking back tattoos are combined for a stronger visual effect. Some tattoos can therefore extend over the entire length of the arm and forearm.
