Look into books of Maori and other Polynesian tattoo patterns, and
Scythian art, as well as books of Celtic art. They all adapt very
well into body art/henna. The limited references we have on early
Celtic tattooing/woading indicate that animal forms were done ...
perhaps similar to Pictish/Celtic design elements. Scythian art easily
findable in art books is closely paralleled by ancient Scythian
tattoing.

Abundant resources in African art, too.

All very manly stuff.
