This could be interpreted as Celtic, Native American or other indigenous types. I got it about a month ago.

Oh that is weird.

I'm from the North of England - we had Vikings - thoroughly Viked were we.

I'm from the old Kingdom of Elmet, to be precise.

Reading through the first messages I thought - Viking - image of a black bird, a cawbie.

Black birds flying from the East were considered an ill omen for a long time - the Vikings used to paint them on the sails of their longships, and come out of the East to do their BPR thing.

So I skip to the last message and - a tattoo of a cawbie.

Well, this may be an old thread, but it's my opportunity to figure out the pictures thing. My daughter and I got matching tattoos just after Christmas.

Has anyone considered having both legs tatood to look like kilt hose?

Interesting! My family name, DuVall, traces it's origins to Normandy and the Normans were Vikings. Coincidence, eh?

Might not Pleater be thinking of Odin's Ravens-Hugn and Munin!

Technically speaking, the Normans were Norsemen.

"Viking" is an activity, or an occupation. (See Here)

...there were no such people as "the Vikings"; a man might go in viking (to calque a little Old Norse) one year, and the next year return to the same location as a peaceful trader. The implication, then, is that "viking" is the name of an activity, even if not literally derived qua gerund from a verb.
