Wie lustig!! Ich surfe hier bei Youtube rum und entdecke doch tatsächlich den Kai!! Wußte ja gar nicht das du ein so erfolgreicher Tätowierer geworden bist !? Aber schön zu sehen! Habe dich sicher schon 18 Jahre nicht gesehn. Liebe Grüße von deiner Cousine aus deiner alten Heimat. Lg !

@hampussamuelsson Thanks for your reply, I'm doing an MA in early bronze age Irish ornamentation and body ornamentation (tattoos), hence my interest. Small metal awls or bone points were most likely used for tattooing here. I don't know much about the Swedish bronze age, sounds very interesting. Thanks again.

@5tonyvvvv cheers mate !
my larger one was a surgical bone cutting plate, which i filed down a bit and screwed to the end of a shaft of hardwood, the smaller lighter one, just some tattoo needles, wrapped in cotton thread, and bound to a smaller piece of wood, then nail varnished to seal tight !
works a treat !

@gavtatu really cool..how did u fix the blade to the wood?..how did u sharpen it?

this is just how i've done all my legs...and feet, groin, stomach, chest, hand !
and some taping too, i love it, so primal and primative !
Really nice finished tattoo, but can I ask is it the tattoo itself or the technique that is bronze age in style?

@MissAyela It refers to the design. You find stone carvings like this here in Sweden from that age. It's not impossible though that tattoos were made during that time using thorns from bushes or flint stones.

delighted to find this video! I have a fair bit of work done by Kai - Torc, full back wings, and work on my arm.. know him through reenactment (I'm also a viking reenactor), had the pleasure of visiting and staying with him and the loverly Rebekka twice in Germany. Kai is a wonderful artist, and a great bloke. His work is TOP notch!

Cool you liked it. I'm heading down to see him this weekend at ink festival. We'll do a viking showfight on Saturday. And I'll be there filming as much as I can.
