Questions about tattoo symbology

[rurounihime]

Hi, all my folks who have some experience with symbology or tattoos (or both)...

My sister and I are looking to get matching sister tattoos. We are representing both sides of our family: English-Irish and Norwegian. The tattoo design we have in mind at this point incorporates the Viking Vegvisir compass and an Irish sister knot. I just want to check in with people if they know if this is a legit sister symbol in Celtic knotwork. The most prominent ones I have found are this one or variations on the theme.

Another option I like is this one, but I'm leaning toward the three-pronged knot just because I've always liked sharp, defined edges.

Thoughts? Tips?

I like the first neck one best;

here is another, around the wrist, perhaps, with two flowers if there are only two siblings,or leave space for other family members, name on the handle of the sppon ?: http://caoimhe-aisling.deviantart.com/art/Celtic-Sister-Roses-79229605

Here are wings: http://msrain.deviantart.com/art/Celtic-Wings-tattoo-design-98928412

Here is something that could be modified; I liked the wrist design, the drop down circle could be replaced w/ a knot; or have two drop downs, one for each sister:http://wingsfire.deviantart.com/art/Tattoo-Design-02-17682626

This a knot; it would be cool if had 2 knots intertwined: http://msrain.deviantart.com/art/Celtic-Maze-10481824

Sometimes, I like to just go for simplicity. What is you had two female signs intertwined 3D style? http://depositphotos.com/8983174/stock-photo-male-and-female-signs.html with the words your name + hers, sisters forever entwined, through our family line

Thank you for all your tips! I am most concerned about making sure that the symbol I'm putting on my body is in fact a symbol for sisterhood and not some random design meaning acorns or something. ^_^ We definitely want to incorporate my mother's Irish-English heritage and my father's Norwegian heritage. Sis wants the Vegvisir. The idea is to hollow out the middle circle and put the Irish sister knot (my contribution) inside it.
