These pieces use a variety of approaches and styles, but they are all highly technical interpretations of these beautiful Norse war riors.

Modern artists are able to create incredible designs-from 3D pieces that look like they’re jumping off the skin to hyper-realistic portrait work-that will blow the minds of anyone who sees them.
Tattoos have come a long way from the monochromatic stick and pokes and crude American traditional pieces that once typified the industry. Valkyries are excellent subjects for portrait work thanks to the freedom for personalization that they provide: many clients choose to get images of wives and girlfriends incorporated into their Valkyrie’s face, allowing them to carry their own warrior angel wherever they go. The levels of detail and realism that can be achieved with modern techniques make portrait designs some of the most mind – blowing tattoos in the contemporary scene. Pale or dark, thin or voluptuous, riding on her chariot or brandishing a single spear, the valkyrie is any and every woman who seeks out the true warrior, and stands as his equal for all eternity. The poetic beauty of a valkyrie tattoo is that she need not fit one formula or “look,” but can appear as the wearer himself would dream of such a battlefield angel. Just as the Vikings sought glory in fighting life’s literal and figurative battles, so too did they look to the Valkyrie for their ultimate reward. Similarly, a valkyrie tattoo carries a powerful message to those who look upon it: that the man who wears it has a formidable ally, and is destined for great things in both the waking world and the next. She is beautiful but far from delicate, loyal but discerning, and not just any man is worthy of her selective reverence. The Valkyrie is with the warrior throughout his life, accompanying him to war and, once fallen, to the halls of Valhalla to feast and prepare for Ragnarok. The ancient Norsemen did not shy away from equally formidable women, but feared and revered them on the battlefield of both life and death.Īmong the mythological Norse superstars, nothing stands out so boldly as the valkyrie, whose names means “chooser of the slain.”
