This amazing tattoo comes from the Flickrstream of tattoo artist Mez Love and is licensed by Creative Commons.
Mez Love is probably my favorite tattoo artist, for two reasons: 1. Amazing artistry, I've never seen any of her work that wasn't flat out gorgeous. 2. She has tons of her tattoo images on Flickr licensed for free use. Awesome.
Anyway, this tattoo features Huginn and Muninn who are the two ravens associated with Odin, chief of the Norse pantheon. Huginn is thought, Muninn is memory; they fly all over the Earth and at night they return to Odin and report what they have seen.
From the Grimnismal:
- The whole world wide, every day,
- fly Huginn and Muninn;
- I worry lest Huginn should fall in flight,
- yet more I fear for Muninn.
