Yggdrasil tattoo

Like so many designs, this one is also very complex, every element has a deeper meaning in it, wich would be too much to write it down here and too personal.
The runes are the first line of this poem:

Men endelig 

Forsto jeg 

Treets språk

Og det avslørte sin kjærlighet

Til vinterens grove favn.

Forelsket fortalte det

Og frostens

Barske kjærtegn

Som gav det

Moten og kraften

Til sommerens 

Frodige mirakler

Hi Tian,
This is intended to say "passion". Can you tell me how it actually translates?

Thanks
JP

情绪 does not mean "passion", rather "mood, moodness".

Both 情 and 绪 have been split into two separate radicals.

Japanese TATTOO Horimitsu Style PEONIES by TEBORI!!!!!!

Von der Menschen Verdorbenheit

Glyptotek (DK)

Der Unweise wähnt wohlgesonnen sich
Alle, die ihn anlächeln
Wohl weiß er nicht
Das sie üble Nachrede üben
Wenn er den Rücken ihnen zuwendet
Was einer nur weiß
Bleibt verborgen
Wissen's dreie aber, weiß es das Dorf
Windzeit, Wolfzeit, Wehzeit
Masken fallen, Fesseln fallen
Bruder wendet Waffe und Wort gegen Bruder
Das stille Auge des Sturmes
Ist Heervaters Heimat
Wenn der Wütende die Welt zerweht


(Ofnir)

Eisprinzessin

One of my personal favourites, an entirely handmade design, based on the tattoos from the Pazyryc Iron Age culture.
The pictures were taken during the Samhain session by Christina www.h2fotografie.blogspot.com
More amazing photography work on her site, featuring the Ice Princess also...;)

A real viking tattoo

This design is based on ornaments, that were found on the orkney islands.

Rune tattoo

Dann zeigt sich´s recht
wenn du nach Runen fragst,
den raterentsproßnen,
wie sie wirkten Waltmächte
und sie zog der Zauberherr
wer Verstand hat, bleibt stumm.

(Edda translation Felix Genzmer 1920)
