  • Heathen Tattoo

    So got ideas on a half sleeve coming through, but thought I'd post in here, get some opinions etc. I don't want to get this permanently inked on my skin and have other heathens be like 'wtf is that' or 'youve buggered that up'. I'm pretty sure I'm all good, but a second opinion is a good idea I think. Plus I have one or two elements I can't nail down on.

    So, idea is a valkyrie, wearing a winged helmet with an aegishjalmur on it, two ravens facing the same direction has her.
    Yggdrasil in the background, filling up a bunch of my arm, with the Nornir in the roots.
    I also want a Mjolnir in it, and something for Loki. Dunno where to put the Mjolnir in the sketch, and not sure what to put for Loki, but pretty sure he'll get jealous if I don't include him.

    I'll post some photo ideas if people are keen to have a look/give a hand.

    I have never been across the way
    Seen the desert and the birds
    You cut your hair short
    Like a shush to an insult
    The world had been yelling
    Since the day you were born
    Revolting with anger
    While it smiled like it was cute
    That everything was shit.

                  “You have never answered but you did not need to. If I stand at the ocean I can hear you with your thousand voices. Sometimes you shout, hilarious laughter that taunts all questions. Other nights you are silent as death, a mirror in which the stars show themselves. Then I think you want to tell me something, but you never do. Of course I know I have written letters to no-one. But what if I find a trident tomorrow?" ~~Letters to Poseidon, Cees Nooteboom

                  “We still carry this primal relationship to the Earth within our consciousness, even if we have long forgotten it. It is a primal recognition of the wonder, beauty, and divine nature of the Earth. It is a felt reverence for all that exists. Once we bring this foundational quality into our consciousness, we will be able to respond to our present man-made crisis from a place of balance, in which our actions will be grounded in an attitude of respect for all of life. This is the nature of real sustainability.”
                  ~~Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

                  "We are the offspring of history, and must establish our own paths in this most diverse and interesting of conceivable universes--one indifferent to our suffering, and therefore offering us maximal freedom to thrive, or to fail, in our own chosen way."
                  ~~Stephen Jay Gould, Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History

                  "Humans are not rational creatures. Now, logic and rationality are very helpful tools, but there’s also a place for embracing our subjectivity and thinking symbolically. Sometimes what our so-called higher thinking can’t or won’t see, our older, more primitive intuition will." John Beckett

                        Ooo idea yas... could do.

                        Ive thought of fire for Loki, or a friend suggested a serpent, but I thought that might confuse with the wyrm

                          Re: Heathen Tattoo

                          I wouldn't put a serpent for Loki. 'Cos you know... serpent venom dripping on his head until Ragnarok and all that.

                          I don't work with Loki, so I don't really know what sorts of symbols he would like, I just wouldn't be inclined to put a snake. And yes, a snake anywhere near an Yggdrasil could easily be taken to represent Nidhogg rather than anything else. Loki has taken all sorts of forms though... a horse, a salmon and a seal just to name a few of his prominent forms.

                          Sounds like a nice tattoo. A slightly eclectic mix of symbols in there, but if they are all significant to you and represent things that are integral to your practice and belief then go for it

                            Exactly! No snakes/serpents. Its hella confusing to people who know shit.

                            I haven't ever worked personally with Loki. But I know hed be jealous. Fire is my usual connection i guess, but how?! Lol.

                            Everything's else feels so right.
