Dunno if you seen that stuff and guess you did, but in case you didnt found some neat basic runes' translations:

Ahhhhh but the true rune translation you pointed out there Bladebug is only the translation that of the great professor J.R.R. Tolkien. True runes have yet to be translated. You may use them as you wish (Because they are fucking cool). I use them in my art I create. They make everything fall together when added. They are both artistic and religious in a way that I can't explain. Well anyways thats my input for the time being.
Good site by the way.

hmmmmm....

those might make a descent tattoo... been kicking around the idea of getting one

hmmmmm....

Ya I am thinking of designing my own then getting one. Tattoo that is.

those who want, i have a norse rune font. (im quite aware that most also do).

I did not know it is a Tolkien translation, didnt take the time to read - just bookmarked the place.

ahh people if you want a tatoo do some research, i believe Vikings had done tattoos on themselves. Wouldnt that be cooler, to have a true Norse tattoo?
