I came up with a new tattoo I'm going to give myself before I go to Mexico.I found a Viking age chess set that was discovered in Scotland in the 13th century, and some of the pieces they had carved (not sure which piece) were Berserkers. Here are deninitions for a Berserker:
Berserkers - one of the ancient Norse warriors legendary for working themselves into a frenzy before a battle and fighting with reckless savagery and insane fury
Berserkers (or Berserks) were Norse warriors who had sworn allegiance to Odin. They worked themselves into murderous fury before a battle. The term berserker comes from Norse "berserkr", meaning literally "bear shirt" or "bare shirt", but alluding either to wearing the "clothes" of a bear, i.e. to be bear-like in rage and strength, usually in battle, or to the habit of berserkers going into battle unarmored.
The chess piece looks awesome. I'm planning to do an exact heavy outline of the Berserker chess piece, than color it in a crazy vivid new school, color bomb style.
