The three Vikings at the bottom of his back says:
"Intet Set" which means nothing seen. The Vikings eyes are sewn together.
"Intet Hørt" which means nothing heard. The Viking has no ears.
"Intet Sagt" which means nothing said. The Vikings lips are sewn together.

The big Viking in the middle of his back is Ogier The Dane, or Holger Danske as he is called in Danish. It is a statue which sits in Kronborg Castle in Helsingør in Denmark. It is said that if Denmark ever comes in trouble he will rise and defend the Danes. The Viking Holger Danske carries the sword Curtana which carries the inscription "My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal". It is supposed to have originally been Tristan's sword, and gained the name "Cortana" when it was "cut down" to fit Ogier.

Around the big Ogier is four major tombstones representing the graves of four legendary Danish Kings:

1. Harald Blåtand or Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, Son of Gorm The Old and Thyra Dannebod. He was the King Of Denmark from around 940 til 986. The nickname Bluetooth is said to have come from Haralds love of beer or mjod as it was called back then, which eventually turned his teeth blue.

2. Svend Tveskæg or Swein or Swegen Forkbeard. Was the son of Harald "Bluetooth", King of Denmark from 986/87 to 1014 and King of England from 1013-14. He is supposed to have gain the King status after
fighting his father over it. The name Tveskæg/Forkbeard means two beards and he is meant to have divided his beard into two. Swein Forkbeard is said to be the founder of Swansea.

3. Gorm Den Gamle or Gorm The Old. King of Denmark from 936 - 958. Gorm was married to Thyra and ruled the Danes from the city of Jelling. He and Thyra was the parents of Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson.

4. Knud Den Store or was the son of Swein Forkbeard and was the King of Denmark from 1018-1035. He was also the King of England from 1016-1035 and of Norway from 1028-1035.

On the top of his back you can read the proverb 'Mors Certa, Hora Incerta'. It means something like 'Death is certain, you never know when'.
On the left side of his chest, the names of his brother and sister is tattooed.

On his left arm he has several Dannebrog tattooed. Dannebrog is the Danish name for the Danish Flag. On the back of his lower left arm he has a crying clown tattoeed. The clown is holding a yellow nine-ball.

Aggers ankles read the inscriptions 'Pain is temporary, victory is forever'.

On his upper right arm Daniel has yet another big Viking with the inscription "Remember You Will Die" and "Remember You are A Human Being".

That's quite a summary.

Are you either the tattoo artist or Dan Agger?

That's quite a summary.

Think it originates from rawk, must be his bird because the last bit ends in "He has several other tattoos but these are just the ones I know about and have been able to spot."

Think it originates from rawk, must be his bird because the last bit ends in "He has several other tattoos but these are just the ones I know about and have been able to spot."

That quote actually indicates it's not his partner. "These" refers to the tattoos the RAWK poster has explained, not the hidden ones.

patriotic fella is our dan.

[kingfunk]

Gawd, your so smart Neil.

[banditos]

And the two Chinese symbols on his shoulder blades?

[banditos]

No wonder he gets back problems.

[RedReet]

aaaaand breeeeathe.

Only seen bit’s and pieces of the match, but he seemed as fit as I think I’ve ever seen him especially when strolling forward. Hopefully that’s a sign that his injury problems are behind him.

[Roboklopp]

Cool that. Any pics of his other ones?

He's comfortably our best DEFENDER.

People go on about how good he is with the ball, but they often neglect what a good defender he is. He reads the game so well, and makes so many interceptions.

Bombed out and touted around Europe under Roy. Thriving again under King Kenny

He's a classy player, but he's not our best DEFENDER. Carra wins that title. But taking everything into account, he's the better player than Carra. I think they made a great partnership when we got to the Athens CL final.

I keep giving up on Skrtel and then he does something to suggest he could be here long term, but we need to find a top defensive partner for Agger IMO, be that Skrtel or somebody else. Carra's on his last legs, got enough left in the tank to see out this season, but I'm not sure he's got enpough to be a regular first team starter next season if we want to seriously challenge for honours.
