| | The '''nasal tip piercing''', also known as a Rhino piercing, travels from the inside front of the [[Nostril|nostril]] and then travels toward the center and out the tip. This piercing can be seen historically in Northern Africa, Southern Asia, South America, etc. as a variation on the [[Nostril_piercing|nostril piercing]]. |

| <b>Tattooed Mummies</b> have been found in several locations across the world. Considering that both mummification (either natural or deliberate) and tattooing are global phenomena, it is actually quite surprising that more instances are not known.
| |
| </p><p>The most impressive examples of tattooed mummies have come from the Pazyryk and Scythian burial mounds of Siberia. Greenland and Egypt have also produced tattooed mummies, with another discovered in a glacier in the Alps.
| |
| </p><p>In May <a href="/index.php?title=2006" title="2006">2006</a>, a female mummy from the South American Moche culture was found in a ceremonial burial site in Peru. She has tattoo coverage on both arms and other areas of her body.
| |
| </p><p>Other cases of tattooed mummies do exist, but they are either poorly documented (the Tarim Mummies in China) or evidence of tattooing is inconclusive at best (Lindow Man, a bog body).
