Hugin & Munin... Odin's 2 Ravens

   It seems that birds are becoming popular tattoo motifs... although in the realm of Nordic tattooing Hugin & Munin reign supreme. Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory) were Odin's companions who soared throughout the worlds with a watchful eye and reported back to the All Father.
   Although I still do the more graphic Viking depictions, I've also been experimenting with a looser heraldry style which I can play with a little more. Here are a few examples from 2012

All of these designs are custom made... please do not copy

Only one Raven, as his other shoulder blade was already taken.

Hugin & Munin... I've been dropping my grey shading and working more with straight black for the etching technique found in old wood block prints

Hugin... Munin still to come, so stay tuned :-)
