Summary

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with the amazingly talented hand poke tattoo artist Hrafnhildur in order to discuss the Icelandic Runestaves. In the current climate of Viking fever these runestaves have become highly requested tattoos, but do they really have any connection with Vikings at all? Also, where does she weigh in on our long standing debate of whether Vikings were tattooed or not? The answers will no doubt be complicated.

If you would like to see more of Hrafnhildur's amazing art check out her website: habbanerotattoo.com

0:03.9	Now this week saw to release our brand new clothing range.
0:07.2	It's our spring range. What we've done with this collection is we've tried to put together a bunch of garments that you can wear no matter what the weather.
0:14.9	We've got a bunch of new t-shirts. These ones I really like. We've got a berserkus spirit
0:19.6	t-shirt and an orphaned spirit t-shirt. What these are is they've got a warrior in the middle and then behind the warrior you've got the spirit of the animal that they're embodying. So behind the berserker you've got a bear and behind the wolfordin you've got a wolf. Along the Ulfordin you've got a wolf.
0:33.0	And alongside that for those of you who like something a little bit more simple.
0:36.0	We've got just a logo t-shirts. It's our logo on the left-hand side
0:40.0	and that comes in a Heather Naver and a woodland Heather and these t-shirts are a
0:45.1	100% organic recycled cotton. Then we've got a new jogging pants which come in
0:50.9	the men's and women's and we've also got a hoodie. So these are all in black with our logo embroidered on them.

1:12.1	And finally, I think my favorite item from this launch is we've got
1:15.7	a brand new 100% cotton jumper. This jumper is absolutely perfect for me. You can wear it on its own or you can layer it up and have a
1:25.3	t-shirt under it and throw that on top for that little bit of extra warmth. It's really comfortable,
1:29.5	it's really soft. Like I said, it's 100% cotton. The men's one comes in black and a beautiful olive color and then we do a women's one which comes in a lovely navy color as well.
