			While tattoos are a prevalent feature of pop culture's idea of Vikings, historically it is less well attested. The writings Arab traveler [[Ahmad ibn Fadlan]] describe a group of [[Russia\|Kyivan Rus']] as being tattooed from "the tips of his toes to his neck". However this one of the only attestations for tattooed Vikings. There is no known word for tattoo in the Old Norse language nor do any Norse sources mention the practice.<ref>{{Youtube\|ED3Yb4DlADo\|Vikings didn't have tattoos\|@JacksonCrawford\|video=Vikings didn't have tattoos\|channelname=Jackson Crawford}}</ref> While this does not mean it never occurred, it implies that it was not as staple to the Viking culture as depicted.
