The History of Norse Tattoos

A Norse tattoo is a body art style originating from Norse (Scandinavian) mythology, which flourished during the Viking age. These tattoos incorporate various symbols and ancient runic script, known for their powerful meanings and cultural significance. Norse tattoos reflect elements of Viking gods, mythology, and warriors, bearing deep philosophical concepts. In the USA, the trend of Norse tattoos has surged due to popular culture influences like the “Vikings” television series, comic books, and Viking-themed video games. Despite their ancient origins, Norse tattoos have evolved into a popular art form, embodying strength, courage, and a love for heritage.

Award Winning Austin, TX tattoo artist

I am Mike Metaxa, have been tattooing for over 20 years, living and working in Israel, Greece, and now the US.

I enjoy working in so many different styles. As far as a favorite, I don’t think I can say that I prefer one style over the rest. During the course of the same day, I could be doing a traditional tattoo followed up by a fantasy piece. With years of experience, I’d acquired a good knowledge of tattoo history and an understanding of various styles of tattooing. That allows me to blur borders between styles, which in turn, results in pieces that are as distinctive and unique as the personality of their owners.
