Voglio farmi un tatuaggio sulla gamba e sto pensando di fare qualcosa di nordico forse o qualcosa che si lega alla Svezia perché è lì che provengono i miei antenati e ho una famiglia che vive lì. Mi è stato detto che questo scudo è stato dato a un uomo cavaliere “Testa suina?”, Apparentemente era imparentato con me o andava nella stessa chiesa della mia grande o grande bisnonno. Il mio cognome è anche Shields, quindi penso che sia adatto anche avere uno scudo. Sono anche aperto ad altre idee per i tatuaggi, vorrei qualcosa che possa essere semplice considerando che questo è il mio primo! Grazie ragazzi

I can find mentions of a [Svinhufvud](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svinhufvudsl%C3%A4kten) (Swine Head) family on the Swedish Wikipedia but I’m not finding this heraldry, theirs look like [this](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svinhufvud_i_Westerg%C3%B6tland) and like [this](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svinhufvud_af_Qvalstad).
Afraid I can’t find any more info on the shield in the picture.
Here is some info about your family. You can probably use it to dig deeper.

I would not get a tattoo of it unless you’re actually related to the armiger
Damn, a swine as a dragon 🐉 that’s something, like the hair tho 😄
Hi from Sweden
please excuse my grammar
That Shield happens to be one of the only Shields from the 1300 – Century in Sweden. It hangs in kristdala church.
However it is the shield of the Svinakula family. The “swine head” family you speak is probably ssume is one of the Svinhufvuds families. As Svinhufvud is an old spelling of svinhuvud witch translates to “swine head”. Svinhufvuds Is not related to Svinakula even if it was mistakenly assumed in in the past. As both have swine/boar heads in their shields.
Here are some links with information there you can see their shields, the first link is to Jönköpings länsmuseum and has an English version. The others are to the Swedish Wikipedia so just use some translation tool as at least the last link as it doesn’t have an English version.
