Quote: do we know whether it was permanent tatooing or tempiorary painting?

Permanent, if Isidore of Seville (writing in the 6th C) is to be believed.

"they are marked with the stigma of various designs by means of iron needles dipped in ink".

Ink, you'll notice, not woad. You can't tattoo with woad. Not effectively anyway. It's incredibly astringent. It burns, leaving scarring but no pigment. Good for dealing with wounds, crap for tattooing.
