Handpoke tattoos are an ancient and authentic method of body art, created without the use of machines. Instead, ink is meticulously applied to the skin using a hand-held tool. This technique, deeply rooted in history, connects us to the traditions of Nordic and Viking culture.
Nordic handpoke tattoos often draw inspiration from ancient Norse symbols, runes, and mythological motifs. Designs such as Yggdrasil (the World Tree), Mjölnir (Thor’s hammer), or the Vegvisir (a wayfinding compass) carry powerful meanings of strength, protection, and guidance.
This timeless technique captures the raw and organic essence of Viking heritage, celebrating craftsmanship, tradition, and a deep connection to the past.
