@archaeodeath: #stitch with @Fabel I agree and here's the challenge, creatively being inspired by the fragmentary archaeological and historical evidence from the Viking past without misrepresenting it or appropriating from other cultures to fill in the many gaps #medievaltiktok #archaeologytok #archaeology #heritage #norsetok

Misinformation is so prevalent when it comes to the Viking age, I blame pop-culture and poor research moslty. I wish more folks had your insight.

There is no “unbroken chain” like this. I’m gonna need to do a vid 😓

Misrepresentation is the only thing that happens on social media/TikTok.

My own thinking is that there's a lot of popular culture fuzziness between Picts [who were tattooed per Latin sources] & Norse.

Just to point out that Tochmarc Emire predates Icelandic vernacular literature by three centuries 😁

I'm glad more people are getting on this. I keep my face clean when in my Viking Age clothing, cuz while we don't have evidence of tattoos/face paint

I’ve spent years in an Iron Age recreation group. We’ve see more and more people showing up with face paint in the last couple of years.

Viking Way by Neil Price is amazing. It’s super dense, taking me a while to get through it

Does not matter. Heathenry is once again a LIVING faith and new practices IN HARMONY with the OLD will be innovated.

Do you know anything about the Viking settlement in the area of Eidsvoll Norway? everything I find is in Norwegian and can't read it. 1/2

That Rus connection of (their) shamans being tattooed and / or painted makes sense since fennougric shamans had these documented even in photographs

If there was a lot of tattooing, would we expect to find remains of the tools?

This! As a Gaelic pagan, I get so irritated when ppl co-opt indigenous practices, or use the Barnes and noble new age section for their “research”

I think it’s likely that old Norse people wore some face paint and tattoos, but it’d look nothing like the woman’s as it’s obviously appropriated Moko

This is really important to talk about because there is a lot of false history being inserted at many points and it leads to crises of faith for many.

Both pretanikai and pictoi have in my understanding been represented as painted or tattoed. There is also talk of woad. My understanding is that woad

I enjoy this information. Not an area in strong in, but I read a lot Church, European and Celtic history and tattoos were never a major part

Creating new traditions that “jive” with what we know based on sources as if it was an unbroken tradition is the big challenge

I do love this, while it's technically possible that it was so common it wasn't worth mentioning, you'd think they'd have then

I remember a well preserved body being discovered with tattoos, I think of runes, not a 100% sure tho

If they were tatted they would have mentioned it. Those tats would be signifiers in some way.

what kind of finds would we expect to find, but haven't, to support tattoos on vikings?

should also be noted that Fadlan's account doesnt mention tattoos, it mentions markings. Tattoo is a bad translation if anything

Alternatively, it's possible they didn't mention things like that because they were just normal and expected. A more mainstream example being how far
