You've spent time sifting through catalogs of Celtic symbols looking for a good symbol that could best express the message you want to communicate.
After selecting and then rejecting several symbols , you finally settled on the Viking Ax which seems closer to what you want. But there is one detail that should be noted.

Depending on the look of the design, its style, size, location on the body and also the symbols associated with it, a Viking ax tattoo on a body can have several meanings. Zoom on the meaning of this Viking symbol.
If you think that the Viking axes in question here are those used for chopping wood, you are on the wrong track. At the time of the Vikings, axes were real weapons of war.
@ tintifax.tattoo
In Viking tattoos for men, they therefore serve as symbols of protection for some, while for others, this symbol serves the Vikings to give an idea of the life experiences that made them warriors and fighters.
Also considered a symbol of strength, sacrifice, power and defense of the community, the Viking ax can be worn as a tattoo by the guide of a team, a clan leader or a bearer of global vision.
@erinsagetattoo
Those who want to put on their skin, the image of their identity as a warrior and a leader will therefore opt for this symbol. The tattoo can consist of a single ax, crossed axes , axes associated with runes or other symbols, since the possibilities are diverse.
Furthermore, in patriarchal societies like the one depicted in Norse mythology, Viking axes were mostly seen as symbols of authority and pride . They were even attributed divine properties. Besides, wasn't the ax indeed the weapon of Thor, the god of thunder?

It is also worth remembering that axes are not only associated with destruction, because an ax tattoo can also mean that one wants to cut ties with negative and destructive tendencies.
The most common locations where a Viking ax tattoo can be placed is the calf, shoulder, upper arm or forearm. While it's true that these are easier locations to expose, the cause goes a bit deeper.
@dasiernavarro
Indeed, making a Viking symbol on the arm , shoulder, forearm and calf, allows to transmit to those around you a very personal message, closely linked to the inner self. But it would be wrong to believe that these are the only places to get a Viking ax tattoo.
Many fans of Celtic symbols like Viking tree of life tattoos prefer to adorn their backs, chests, sides, necks, and even skulls with Viking axes. Anyway, the place chosen for the tattoo will determine if we can associate a crow of Odin, the face of Ragnar, the Valknut, vegvisir, etc.
