Hello all,

I am about to paint a 90mm roman legionary by dogtag - one quick question - is it likely that roman legionarys had tattoos (in the sme way that modern soldiers tend to ?) if so , what kind og designs would be prominant - i was thinking blue knot work.

Any opinions much appreciated i plan to tattoo his forearms if appropriate
