Well I'm off to Russia again and was inspired to do a blog on the Scythian mummies and their tattoos... however I didn't get very far. I'll try to add more text later... but until then here is a little peak :-) Enjoy! Mummy from the Hermitage He was uncovered back in the 40s, however his tattoos were discovered only in the last decade due to laser photography Some of his tattoos The Scythian King Mummy tattoos from the Hermitage Close up of one of the tattoos My version of the same tattoo Other tattoos from the Scythian King at the Hermitage Great reference material and rather rare Mummy tattoo at Lejre many years ago Another mummy tattoo by hand, by me, at Lejre... above another mummy tattoo by machine, by another artist Design by Kai... tattooed by me, on Kai Best Tribal Second Place St Petersburg Tattoo Convention 2013 As there are no recorded wolf tattoos on any of the mummies I had to go to other sources and art for the inspiration The inspiration for the design Kiri... an achaeology student and Pazyryk Princess
