Well it seems that the Orlanthi are mad keen on visually depicting the runes. All their god images have runes associated with them, and lots of the pictures I have seen of them have them liberally studded with runic tattoos.
Similarly, there are moons and such tattooed on various depicted Lunars - although this could be a habit of the artists not a genuine phenomenon of "Lunar culture" (whatever that is).
I have trouble imaging lots of Rokari being tattooed, but that may have a lot to do with lingering mental associations of them with 13th century Europeans on my part than with their actual society (about which I still know little... roll on LotW!).
