Not All Vikings Had Tattoos

Tattoos had existed in the era before the Vikings. However, it did not mean that all Vikings had tattoos. Some people wanted to show their Viking culture by getting their own “traditional” Vikings tattoos. We were not sure if this was a real Vikings tattoos or just a Norse symbol. In the movie or the Vikings had different tattoos that were covering their body. However, there was no evidence that they were practicing this kind of art. Also, Vikings have their pride to make themselves clean as possible as they could. That was the reason that we did not believe that Viking had many tattoos in their body.

Vikings Have Their Own Justice System

On our belief, we thought that Vikings would settle things on their own. However, they had their justice system to solve any problem or crimes happening in their kin. In their culture, they had a method called “Althing,” which means “The thing.” “The thing” was the one who held and the law speaker of the people who had any concerns. They would try to settle their fears peacefully with the help of a third party. It had a similarity in our era’s court system. There were times that their justice was decided through violence, and if that person were notorious enough, they would sentence that person into execution. We could tell that the Vikings were civilized and not a barbarian.
