You just posted the same post on /b/
it's norse, or norse-inspired-at least. i wouldnt tattoo myself with rando sigils for protection or some buggery. it's all about intent anyway.
Here OP, read this book. Learn of the runes before you use them. Furthark, by Edred Thorson.
Also, read Children of Odin http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/ice/coo/index.htm If you cannot fathom the sacrifices made for these, you have no right using them.

Looks somewhat similar to the Helm of Awe, but simplified. It could be related to Icelandic rune magic. That would be my best guess.
Asatruarmadur (4chan won't let me use Icelandic/Old Norse characters) here. This is a simplified form of the aegishjalmur, which is supposed to convey invulnerability in battle and terrify opponents.

>Learn of the runes before you use them
This isn't a rune. It's a simplified form of the aegishjalmur from post-Medieval Icelandic folk magic. Other than the name, which appears in Volsunga Saga, this sigil has nothing at all to do with the Viking Age or the Middle Ages at all. Again, it isn't a rune even though people incorrectly identify it as such.
What the aegishjalmur is is a magical stave (galdrastafur). Various collections (grimoires) exist, but none predate the 17th century - it's really quite modern, again definitely not Viking.
