While war, conquest, and victory aren't the only words the Vikings know, they are the most prominent themes in Norse mythology.
Although this Viking civilization woven around brave and daring men is now defunct, it is kept alive thanks to symbols used in tattoos. Among these, here we will talk about the Viking warrior tattoo. What is its meaning and on which part of the body should it ideally be performed?
@erhuanito
Have you ever seen Ragnar Lothbrok, the most popular Viking hero in history and immortalized in the Irish sagas of the 13th century? How about this fearless warrior? Much like Ragnar Lothbrok, many Viking warriors have dotted history with their acts of bravery in times of profound challenge.

In general, the Viking warrior tattoo comes in the form of a serious looking warrior, determined, fierce and wearing armor, a light axe, a round and strong shield and a helmet devoid of horns.
The Viking warrior positions himself as the embodiment of the god Thor. In his posture and in the look of his gaze, he expresses the masculine qualities associated with the patriarchal Viking culture . Most of the time, he is a beardless warrior who obviously wishes to acquire the virtues of courage and ardor, virtues recognized by Viking warriors in battle.

Tattooing a Viking warrior on the body therefore reflects an aspiration to these virtues. Obviously, the symbol takes on a more complex meaning when paired with a symbol like the aegishjálmr, a symbol worn by many Viking warriors in battle and representing superpower and might. Other symbols like the Vegvisir, Valknut, Odin's crows, etc., can also accompany the warrior symbol.
More than just a painting, there are many suitable locations on the human body for a Viking warrior tattoo. It should be noted, however, that the location of a tattoo says a lot about the personality of its bearer.

A Viking warrior tattoo can be very imposing and can exude extreme fury if done on the back, especially on a shoulder blade. The chest can also be very suitable.
These two slots offer a sufficiently wide space and are more suitable for making more or less complex drawings and for all the details of the image to be more easily perceptible at first sight.

Obviously, the downside with the back and chest is that they are not the most exposed places in the human body . And why get a tattoo if no one can see the tattoo? The shoulder, forearm and upper arm therefore seem to be more practical to achieve your Viking warrior tattoo.
However, this tattoo on the thigh can also have an effect. And the calf could lend itself even better to this exercise. The exposure of this Viking symbol releasing energy and invincible power on your skin will then be greater.
