	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 :-))

(aka, Marius Lugotorix Gerontius filius Delenitor Demetae,  or
	Marius for short).
