Celtic Tattoo History
NOTE: Some content of this page is a modified copy from
'the World of Celtic Art' provided by Peter Oostervink.
"The ancient Celts didn't believe in written record keeping, consequently, there is little evidence of their tattooing remaining. Most modern Celtic designs are taken from the Irish Illuminated Manuscripts, of the 6th and 7th centuries. This is a much later time period than the height of Celtic tattooing. Designs from ancient stone and metal work are more likely to be from the same time period as Celtic tattooing."
"In CELTIC ART, author I.M. Stead says, "All the Britons dye their bodies with woad, which produces a blue color and this gives them a more terrifying appearance in battle "
Caesar's observation is expanded by Herodian: 'they mark their bodies with various figures of all kinds of animals and wear no clothes for fear of concealing these figures."
"Herodian was mistaken in thinking that they wore no clothes, although they might well have stripped for battle. The leaves of woad were an important source of blue dye until the first half of the present century, and the Britons evidently used it to paint or tattoo their bodies. No Briton's skin has ever been found tattooed or painted or plain, but the body of an Iron Age warrior, completely preserved in Siberia's permafrost gives some idea of the scope of what might have been a common British art form, now completely lost."
