tattoos for women tribal image
Q. Out of all the different ethnic tribes of that age, with germanic and slavic people, were the celts most into tattoos and piercings and all of that?
Oh yeah, the Picts did have them eh. Second guy, I think some did. I know I have seen pictures, unromanticized, of Gaels with piercings and stuff.

Answer
Tattoos and body painting, yes. One of the bog-men from Lindow Moss had some kind of greenish/blue paint on him. Tattooing was probably common (the Romans described it) although the preserved British/Irish remains we've found so far haven't had tattoos--but the copper age man from the Alps, Oetzi, had tattoos,and some Russian prehistoric bodies were covered in very ornate designs. Certainly there's no reason why British tribes wouldn't have had tribal markings too.
Piercings are less likely,with the exception of earrings. A metal piercing would obviously still be in place with an ancient body,and I cannot recall any being found. The nearest I can think of was a bronze age British woman who may have had a small ceramic nose stud or lip plug.Can't say for sure that's what it was, but it was lying somewhere near her face.
I think some of the recent artistic depictions of celts have made them look a bit too much like 'new age traveller' types tbh :ie dreads and stuff braided or rolled into their hair. In fact celtic people were rather proud of their looks--especially the hair, which, rather than having it in some matted clump, they fashioned into ornate creations with lime or imported hairgel (true!). They actually had soap too,and were figure conscious-a fat warrior could be fined!

What do girls think of guys that have tattoos?
Billy
I'm an 18 year old guy and I have a few tattoos already but I was just wondering what girls/women nowadays actually think about tattoos. I mean, it's not going to change my opinion about getting tattoos or affect what tattoos I get, I was just curious.
And I'm adding this in here as a little note: I hate tribal tattoos, Celtic tattoos, and armbands (among others). I will never get them.
Answer
Well, I'm an 18 year old girl and I have one tattoo and maybe getting one or two more in my future. I personally admire men who have tattoo's, it shows who they are and how they choose to express themselves, but then again, I like the unique and meaningful tattoo's only. However, ever girl has her own opinion on the matter, and you'll find some who hate them, some who don't mind them and others who love them. But like you stated above, that's good thinking, don't let others opinion's affect your decision's, it's your body, do what you wish.
I hope I could be of some assistance.
