There is a bit of info about a couple of Scythian tattoo finds in
``Scythian Art: Crafts of the Early Eurasian Nomads'' by Georges
Charrie`re. [If memory serves, the Scythians proper spanned about
600 BC to 200 AD --- a little early for most SCAfolk, but I have met
one or two in my travels.] The sources are from two burials where mummified
remains were found, so the documentation is pretty good. The figures show
both the placement on the body as well as about a dozen of the individual
designs, most of which are animal-based.
The pertinent info is:
( title and author above)
ISBN 0-933516-05-3,
Alpine Fine Arts Collection, Ltd., 1979.
I'm interested in the subject, too, so I will pass on
anything I turn up (currently looking for documentation on the jewelry
that Roman military men wore as nipple rings :-))

Marius for short).
