πŸ“ 2,500-year-old Siberian 'ice mummy' had intricate tattoos

Georgina Rannard at the BBC:

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.

The artistry of these tattoos is, in a word, stunning. Go take a look.

I really like the little rooster.
