Ep 31 - Traditional Viking Tattoos and Names with Collin Dale

Nordic Mythology Podcast

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down from with Collin Dale of Skin and Bone Tattoo to discuss his designs and the success of his Facebook page: Traditional Nordic Tattoos, where he shares images of traditional tattoos from Nordic, Celtic, Pictish, and Sami backgrounds with over 50,000 people, head over and check it out, there's some amazing stuff!
Other topics of discussion will cover things like: How to improve your Google skills so you don't keep finding the same 10 Tattoo designs from Etsy. Is it okay to name your child after a God? (spoiler, it's 2020 name your kids whatever you want). And why you should avoid getting a back alley tattoo from some random basket weaver or other artisan at a festival; really, it feels like I shouldn't have to explain that one, but according to Collin it's a real problem so here we are.
