    The Celtic tribe the Picts were named Pictii by the Romans. Pictii means "painted ones" in Latin because the Picts had a habit to paint themselves when they were fighting on the battlefield.

    We don't know if they actually had ink under their skin or just paint on their skin.

    Our best evidence seems to suggest they applied body paint made from natural dyes.
