This is the almost finished result of my forearm tattoos. It started off as a tribute to a friend who I lost from Cancer last year. I got the mark of the Valkyrie to which was always a running joke that when we died it would be in a shieldwall (we were historical reenactors) and would be carried off by the Valkyrie. We were meant to get matching ones when he came over to Australia, however his cancer was far more widespread than first thought and he never made it. From there it evolved as I didnt like the negative space. The first one was Jörmungandr to fill the back side of the forearm, then once that had healed, my artist filled more of the gaps with beautiful knotwork. The Viking Moth is a tribute to my LARP warband, they supported me through the first game that I played after losing my friend. Once my artist is free again (damn COVID) I will get the moth shaded as well as the elbow area filled with more knotwork. I hope you like!
