High-resolution imaging of tattoos found on a 2,500 year old Siberian "ice mummy" have revealed decorations that a modern tattooist would find challenging to produce, according to researchers.
The intricate tattoos of leopards, a stag, a rooster, and a mythical half-lion and half-eagle creature on the woman's body shed light on an ancient warrior culture.
Archaeologists worked with a tattooist, who reproduces ancient skin decorations on his own body, to understand how exactly they were made.
The tattooed woman, aged about 50, was from the nomadic horse-riding Pazyryk people who lived on the vast steppe between China and Europe.

May 25, 1996. Bill Clinton joked during a political fund-raiser Wednesday that the 500-year-old frozen mummy, known as the Ice Princess, was “good-looking” and if he were single he might ask her out.
Keep Bill away from her.
Thanks BenLurkin.
Strangest tattoo he had was the Hello Kitty tattoo.
“on the woman’s body”
How do you know it was a woman?
Doncha know folks can choose their sex/gender/expression?
Must be some kind of Anti-Science MAGAts writing this stuff.
So, she’d fit right in today.
Must have been in the Navy or Marines...................
Sounds like Old Clinton lifted a line from the Judge character in the movie The Frighteners.
Bawlmer-born John Astin is still alive.
