The Vikings as a people have been much maligned over the years and popular history has distilled their culture and lifestyle to encompass merely ‘rape and pillage’! This is wholly inaccurate, of course, and this book shows that they certainly had some beautiful and meaningful imagery and a keen eye for the decorative arts. Some of the designs reproduced in the Workbook are traditional Viking ones, slightly reworked for ease of tattooing; others are new designs by Courtney Davis, using his knowledge and artistry to maintain the true spirit of the Vikings within the artwork.
The images are all in black, crisply and simply printed, so they are ideal for using as tattoo designs.
Whilst the designs echo what we know as Celtic work, using intertwined knotwork and stylised animals, there is a unique look to the imagery that will appeal to the tattooist and tattooee alike. Courtney Davis also really understands what makes a tattooable image so these can go straight from the printed page to the skin without further adaptation. A very useful, interesting book and highly recommended.
