CNN —Found high in the Tyrolean Alps in 1991, Ötzi the Iceman had dark skin and eyes and was likely bald.
How and why Ötzi, perhaps the world’s most studied corpse, got the body art has long been a source of fascination.
Ötzi's tattoos, captured with image-processing software, might have been part of an ancient healing technique, according to research.
The design, created during a 2022 study of ancient tattooing tools and techniques, is not one of Ötzi's tattoos.
Samadelli urged the team to continue their study of Ötzi’s tattoos and how they were made.
