Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Volumes 1, 2 and 3?
Each volume builds on the last. Vol 1 covers core motifs across 7 chapters, Vol 2 adds Knots & Weaves and a modular Elements chapter for building your own wyrms and dragons, and Vol 3 introduces Artefacts (brooches and Salin's Style I) alongside expanded mythological context.
Do I need to buy them in order?
No. Each volume works as a standalone reference, though many customers collect the full series for a complete motif library.
What's the difference between the physical and digital editions?
The physical edition is an A4 softcover (£35), while the digital edition (£20) is a PDF you can view on screen or print at home.
Do I need to be a tattoo artist to use this?
Not at all. The series is used by tattooists, artists and anyone interested in Norse art and design, with content suited to all skill levels.
Can I use these designs for my own tattoo?
Yes, the motifs work as a starting point for your own designs or as a reference to bring to your tattooist.
Are these authentic Viking tattoo designs, or generic "Viking" symbols?
Every design is hand-drawn by Isar and rooted in research into Viking Age art styles and surviving artefacts, giving you genuinely Viking tattoo designs rather than the mismatched symbols often seen passed off as "Viking" tattoos.
