The Ice-Maiden is the most famous Pazyryk (Siberian culture probably related to the Scythians) mummy yet found. She died at about the age of 25. Buried clothed in luxurious wild silk, her body was perfectly preserved in perma-frost. But it is the tattoos that set Pazyryk burials apart. “Compared to all tattoos found by archeologists around the world, those on the mummies of the Pazyryk people are the most complicated and the most beautiful,” according to the lead researcher, Dr. Natalia Polosmak.

When I was a kid, Jews and Catholics were not allowed to get tattoos. I think the trend is hideous.

Apparently Natalia hasn’t seen Maori or Caddo tattoo designs

Does Natalia think leopards have stripes and tigers have spots?

I’m not a huge ‘tat fan, but your daughter is a little angel! My son is 1/3 (soon 2/3) of the way through the Army Ranger program. I told him that when he gets his Ranger Tab he and I will get a tatoo together. Mine will be the Ranger emblem with “Proud Dad” written underneath.

I’ve tried, but I just don’t dig chicks with tattoos.I'm with you.
A little butterfly on the ankle is one thing but the technicolor blobs all over the arms, neck, etc. Yuck
Same with men doing it. G..ross.
And piercing in general. The little diamond nose pierce in particular. Looks like a wad of fresh snot got stuck. :^)

I’ve tried to dig guys who don’t dig chicks with tattoos but I just can’t.I tried to dig chicks who don't dig guys who don't dig chicks with tattoos, but they just didn't want anything to do with me.
I tried to dig chicks who dig guys who don't dig chicks with tattoos, but they didn't want anything to do with me either.
I tried to dig chicks... Who are breathing and have a pulse. But they didn't want anything to do with me either.
Therefore, I hate people in general and women in particular, but I'm not bitter.

I'm not a tattoo fan myself but I have to admit I was intrigued over this one.
I was looking for fishing rods on CraigsList when I came across it.
