Do you have any sources for this? I'm familiar with Utzi's tatoos (they apparently were on his back in areas associated with acupuncture areas) but I've never heard of other bog bodies with tatoos/paintings. I'd love to get some more details on this; particularly what patterns they may have been in.
Well, after some searching, I can't find either the article I once had (computer crash) or the book I read on bog bodies and other "natural" mummies to substantiate the previous statement. I respectfully withdraw the it, and thanks for the reality check.
