The male version of Eivor in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the best for back tattoos as he does not wear a bandeau that cuts off half of the image. The tattoos come in a variety of styles and covers as they twist and turn across Eivor’s back. It can be hard to pick just one, seeing as there are so many to choose from.
Luckily, this list has ranked them to make it easier for you to decide if you are stuck in your decision-making process. Keep reading to learn the ranking of Eivor’s back tattoos based on creativity and cohesiveness!
10 Hel Sign
This tattoo is given to players from the start, but the design down the spine catches the eye. The outline of Eivor’s lungs is also unique, but it is not as great as some other tattoos that players have available to them. The pattern inside of the tattooed lungs is a bit busy and hard to see from a distance which is why it is at the bottom of this ranking.
9 Vegvisir
This tattoo can be found by catching one of the flying papers, which any pro player would know. You will love this tattoo as it is a perfect circle and features some classic runes around its outer edge. It resembles a clock in a sense, which is indicative of the little time Eivor’s enemies have left when they go up against him.
8 Skraelingi Emblem
The Skraelingi Emblem is one of the more simplistic tattoos that Eivor can have, but it looks great on both the male and female versions. It runs the length of his back and features a series of jagged lines that are not too excessive. Some may want something a little more intricate and meaningful, which explains why this tattoo is not at the top of this ranking.
7 Dupuytren Emblem
The blue of this emblem brings it to life and reminds you of the Norse gods you encounter throughout the game. The arching lines beautifully outline Eivor’s spine in a way that looks great on both genders of this character.
The curled lines at the bottom of his back were a nice touch that complements the rest of the design. It works great if you choose to use busy arm tattoos, but it is ranked lower because of its simple design.
6 Mjolnir Sign
This tattoo is reminiscent of Christianity practiced by the Anglo-Saxons throughout the game. The doves on his shoulder blades, combined with the church-esque look of the main tattoo connects it back to this feature of the game. It encompasses much of the storylines throughout the game, which is why many choose this tattoo to bring them closer to the people Eivor is trying to overthrow.
5 Mimir
Eivor’s back glistens when this tattoo is chosen as the silver has its own shimmer and shine. It is in the middle of this ranking as some like the color change, while others prefer the basic black used in many of the tattoos. The patterns within its design are flawless and appealing which is why many choose to use it as they explore the various locations throughout the game with Eivor.
4 Muninn Call
This tattoo looks like an article of clothing that could be worn by Eivor as it is draped along the top of his back. It is the reason why tattoos are one of the best things about the game, as it gives him character in a way that armor does not.
Another perk to this tattoo is that it looks great on both genders as it is set more toward the top of Eivor’s back. Overall, the design is simple but the layout of it makes it appealing to all styles of players.
3 Valhalla Blessing
Valhalla is the goal of every Viking, and this tattoo is a blessing so they can make it there one day. Eivor will die eventually which is why this tattoo is great as it promises a life with Odin till the end of time. One other perk is that it is aesthetically pleasing and artistically driven as it is two circles in one, while still connected to the Viking world with several runes, like the ones you put in your weapons.
2 Huldufolk
The Huldufolk tattoo must be found in the game, and it is the most intricate and detailed back tattoo of them all. It depicts a vicious battle, which Eivor experiences plenty throughout the game. The overall creation of this tattoo is beautiful which is why it almost made it to the top of this ranking.
1 Sisterhood Crest
One easter egg that was put into this game is that you can find the Sisterhood Crest back tattoo for Eivor to proudly wear. This crest was created in response to fans’ need for Ubisoft to be more accepting of women, and fans are in love with it.
It was added as a message to say they support women, which is why every Eivor in this game should wear it on their backs. Now it is up to you to figure out where they have hidden this particular gem within the game!
