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?

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.
