Thank you everybody for some excellent posts, they have been great to look at 
And to the person who gave me first ever Laude - thank you!
For those of you who don't know, staff at the Hermitage more recently carried out some Infra-red photography on the Pazyryk bodies and found more tattoos...What is interesting is the female from Kurgan 5 has been suspected as being a Chinese bride (by Rudenko amongst others), now her tattoos deepen the mystery as they are in the Chinese style according to staff at the Hermitage. She's a surefire canditate for DNA profiling one day. Other tattoos were also revealed. I could post them here but it would detract from the theme of this thread?
I have a Scythian tattoo on my upper arm - I used to work in a tattoo parlour when the Ice Maiden was making breaking news - by that evening I had her designs inked into my skin. I must be mad :?
