Viking Compass Tattoo For Men

A Norse charm, also known as Vegvísir, the Viking compass takes its name from an ancient Icelandic manuscript. Known as a “road sign”, the sign is a fascination that guides people through unpredictable weather and terrain.

Viking compass tattoos have sparked renewed interest in recent years and are now a well-respected tattoo subject. The Vikings’ compass consisted of eight staves, each of which represented a cardinal or intermediate direction. Each staves has a unique symbol at the end, which Nordic scholars consider a protective rune.

In some descriptions of the Viking compass, all staves are of equal length, while other adaptations show variations in each direction. It is widely believed that the length of the staves doesn’t get in the way of the core meaning of the tattoo, with artists and historians alike stressing that the tattoo wearer just needs to make sure the pattern he chooses is accurate.

A Viking compass tattoo can be a powerful symbol to honor one’s lineage or to give guidance and protection in one’s self. Just as the Vikings were indomitable warriors and adventurers, they also had a deep loyalty to their communities and loved ones.
