I'd like to get a tattoo honoring my Norwegian heritage. I like more minimalistic tattoos that involve geometric designs, stippling, and blackwork. Do you have any ideas?

If you’re asking for a place to start your research you might want to look into the symbols of Germanic neopaganism and neopaganism in Scandinavia, and ask someone who practices and teaches the faith what might be a good way to honor one’s past. We have also found the concept of shield knot tattoos and other knotwork to be genuinely inoffensive enough to be acceptable on pretty much anyone. (If you need a pointer on more Norse knotwork then Celtic, here you go.) Simple knotwork pieces can be dazzling when done well.

Unfortunately, there's not much that we know of that is specifically Norwegian pagan instead of general Norse, so if there's an artist who specializes in Norse tattoos in your area, it might make sense to speak with them as well.

The swastika, it is to be emphasized, is never the right answer. I hope we don’t have to say that to anyone following this blog, but just in case someone wants to know...

I'm a cis woman, so I'm kind of an outsider on this subject.. How do trans men and trans women tear each other down? Why do they do this? You would think ideally they'd be allies..

I'm not sure how "fighting back when men abuse us" constitutes tearing trans men down but ok lmao
