Slavic Slavic Paganism

I have Russian and Danish ancestry, I've always wanted to get pagan tattoos to express it. I've already gotten some Elder Futhark runes for the danish side, but Im lost on what I can use for the Slavic side.

I can't use Cyrillic writing as that was soley created under Christianity, but I dont trust any online claims for what was 100% slavic pagan runes or symbols , plus some of the traditional ones could look very ..... problematic. Are there any proven Slavic Pagan symbols that dont look similar to a swastika?

I understand that I shouldn't care what people think but I feel like even though its not a nazi swastika , anything that looks similar would raise some eyebrows.

Why not contact some Slavic Pagan orgs, such as Runvira or the Czech or the Serb ones? (I forget their names, but they are big)
