Slightly related: we see this in Arabic all the time. It mostly comes from the fact that the people making the tattoos can read the Arabic alphabet but don’t understand what it means, or how to join the letters.
The worst offenders are Arabic letters not joined up and written left to right
@Sobtanian A Nordic favorite is also when letters like ä, ö, å are used in place of similarly looting letters to make it more cool.

@Elizafox I hate these fake things so much because they explicitely only work for the ignorant and the creators either are or assume the audience is. There is so much of that in "cyrillic" also.
On an unrelated note, have you seen the snejapowul diajaies

@apzpins @Sobtanian yeah all the not-Nordic bands with names written like that because aesthetics
if my bf says it looks cool I will usually start pronouncing the *aesthetic* letters as I would in Swedish in an otherwise Polish or English word -
@jlapoutre this comes from a History Channel show I believe
@Elizafox @jlapoutre So a Hitler-loving, ancient-alien-worshipping toddler, then.

@apzpins @Sobtanian we always pronounced "Stargåte" the Swedish way for fun. (Approximately star-gaw-tay)

How about the clothes' label "Napapijri"? It is the Finnish word for Arctic Circle, with one letter swapped for another for no good reason.
And then it has the flag of Norway. -
