New Tattoo!
Today's addition: my first new tattoo in many years (and my tax refund "splurge")!
I wanted something Nordic, but also like the simplicity of the tribal-style tats, so I came up with this:
The design is taken from an 11th C. Viking bone pin unearthed at Trondheim, Norway:
The runes are from the "Younger Futhark", the system in use in Scandanavia during the so-called Viking Age. They are S, B, H, and L - the initials of my wife and three sons....

Congratulations. Sounds like a very interesting design.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

Very nice! Congratulations. My eagle comes from the coat of arms of Orebro, Sweden. Next is a Rampant Lion on my calf...

You got a nice piece of work there. I normally don't like tribals, but that one is nice.

I have always been amazed by the skill of a good tattoo artist. Considering the flexibility of the skin that they can come up with the detail they do is unbelievable.
