Piotr Szencel, a tattoo artist, states that Viking tattoos are quite famous everywhere. However, he feels that the way that Nordic countries and other places express the same ideas is different. According to him, the source of inspiration in the North is much more sincere. He states that in the North, history lies within the roots of the families and that it’s the real culture that’s still alive, but a bit hidden.
