Scythian tattoo

Scythian Deer Tattoo 1, handmade drawing inspired by the tattoo found on the Siberian Ice Princess by Sheridon Rayment. I adore Scythian Art. This drawing was inspired by the beautiful deer tattoo on the Ice Princess's shoulder created by a Pazyryk artist, these ornate tattoos are thousands of years old, the oldest tattoos in the world. The Ice Princess in an Ice Mummy, she was found frozen in a burial tomb, she was a member of the Pazyryk people of the Altai Mountain region in Siberia.
