Q. Out of all the different ethnic tribes of that age, with germanic and slavic people, were the celts most into tattoos and piercings and all of that?
Oh yeah, the Picts did have them eh. Second guy, I think some did. I know I have seen pictures, unromanticized, of Gaels with piercings and stuff.

A. Tattoos and body painting, yes. One of the bog-men from Lindow Moss had some kind of greenish/blue paint on him. Tattooing was probably common (the Romans described it) although the preserved British/Irish remains we've found so far haven't had tattoos--but the copper age man from the Alps, Oetzi, had tattoos,and some Russian prehistoric bodies were covered in very ornate designs. Certainly there's no reason why British tribes wouldn't have had tribal markings too.
Piercings are less likely,with the exception of earrings. A metal piercing would obviously still be in place with an ancient body,and I cannot recall any being found. The nearest I can think of was a bronze age British woman who may have had a small ceramic nose stud or lip plug.Can't say for sure that's what it was, but it was lying somewhere near her face.
I think some of the recent artistic depictions of celts have made them look a bit too much like 'new age traveller' types tbh :ie dreads and stuff braided or rolled into their hair. In fact celtic people were rather proud of their looks--especially the hair, which, rather than having it in some matted clump, they fashioned into ornate creations with lime or imported hairgel (true!). They actually had soap too,and were figure conscious-a fat warrior could be fined!

If a person gets a tattoo, is it possible to have it removed?
Q. I�m not asking this for myself (if ur even wondering)�I absolutely HATE tattoos and I would never think of getting one at all�I�m just wondering about people who do get them, is it actually possible to remove it?
A. Here are the fun choices
Laser. In laser tattoo removal, pulses of laser break up the tattoo pigment in the skin. There are three lasers used for tattoo removal, called the Q-switched Nd: Yag, Q-switched Alexandrite, and the Q-switched Ruby. The "Q-switching" term refers to the pulses of the laser which are short, high-intensity pulses. The laser used depends upon the colors of the tattoo. Several treatments are usually necessary to remove the entire tattoo. The laser fragments the tattoo pigment, which your own immune system then removes. While the laser does break up the pigment, it also does some damage to your skin, sometimes causing blisters and possibly scarring.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy. (IPL) uses pulses of light (not laser) with a wavelength between 400-1200 nanometers to target the tattoo pigment in your skin. Your body's own immune system removes the pigment once it's been dislodged. People who are naturally dark-skinned or have dark-skinned relatives are more likely to experience hypo- or hyperpigmentation as a result of intense pulsed light therapy.
Excision. You've probably had teeth excised. Tattoo excision is a similar process. Anesthetic is used to numb the area, and the tattoo is removed via surgery. The skin is then stitched together, or in some cases involving large areas, a skin graft is used. With large tattoos, however, the tattoo is sometimes taken out in parts, beginning with the center and then removing the sides during a later surgery or surgeries.
Dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is just what it sounds like-abrasion of the skin (or derm). The top layer of your skin is abraded away. Ouch! After the procedure, the skin is red and raw and takes several months to heal.
Cover-Up. Some people choose to cover up an existing tattoo with a new tattoo. You'll have to choose a design that works with your existing tattoo. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, take a look at an example here at TattooArtists. You'll want to choose your tattoo artist carefully for this procedure; ask to see examples of his previous cover-up work.
Tattoo Removal Creams. Tattoo removal creams claim to fade the colors of your tattoo. Most of the companies advertising tattoo removal creams seem sketchy at best, and some products may include unsafe chemicals.
