Woad was the sole source for blue dye, until the trade ships brought indigo from the far east. The blue pigment in woad is the same as in indigo dye, but less concentrated. And it probably was never used as face-paint either.  Contemporary experiments with woad have shown it doesn't work as a body paint or tattoo pigment. Highly astringent, when used for tattooing or placed in wounds woad produces quite a bit of scar tissue and, once healed, no blue is left behind. amazing! |
