Vikings (2013-2020) Ragnar Travis Fimmel Production Used Head Tattoo Art Transfer Pieces

Ragnar was the one of the most famous Viking warriors and kings of all times. His conquests and those of his sons were unparalleled. These tattoo marking were on his head. The production team developed tattoo paper much like a transfer. They would print the tattoos on adhesive paper and then use sterile water to apply to the skin. Removing it is quite easy as they had a special gel that is first applied to the skin and dissolves the adhesive on the tattoo. The process allowed the production team to cut down on setup time and add additional pieces throughout the series that would later become an iconic symbol for the character.
