Runes are ancient alphabets predating our modern written language. Combining and using runes for jewelry and tattoos have given these intriguing symbols use beyond divination.
Getting a tattoo of runic symbols that you may not be entirely familiar with is adding risk to the practice of getting inked. Make sure you chose one with deep meaning you connect to and that your tattoo artist understands the process of Runic tattoos so that you love the end result.
