Black and grey realistic tattoo design for RIGHT shoulder and upper arm. A lone Viking warrior stands near the lower centre with his back and right side to the viewer, calm and unmoving, no helmet, a historically accurate axe planted beside him. FIVE ghostly family spirits/demons, one male and four female, are partially visible within a swirling vortex. The spirits merge into a hurricane-like spiral wrapping around the Viking and flowing from top to bottom. Faces are subtle and incomplete, emerging from mist rather than appearing as portraits. The Viking stands in the eye of the storm, untouched by the spirits. Dark Norse atmosphere, highly realistic tattoo composition, designed to flow naturally with the shoulder and bicep, black and grey only.
