Reading in a couple of forum threads i found mention that suggest that there were a pretty elaborate tattooing culture in at least some parts of prehistoric china. Anyone here that can enlighten me more on this subject or refer me to some sources(preferably with illustrations ofcourse).

on this page there are pictures of bronze ornaments with tattoos :

I dont remember where but I believe I also read somewhere that an ancestor to Guojian had tattoos.
