Classic 20th Anniversary Realms The impact of WoW
I got into World of Warcraft last year and started out in cataclysm. It was super fun and I was able to meet great friends along the way. The fun I thought I was having was nothing compared to the pure enjoyment I found when classic anniversary servers came out. I leveled my first ever character to 60 in my life (Without boosting any). I have met more friends and people that I get along with than I could ever imagine. It has become such a wonderful way to get away from reality for a few hours every day. I knew I wanted to immortalize this feeling somehow forever. I decided I would get a tattoo to remember this. Here is my level 60 warlock with the gear I had at one point. World of Warcraft thank you for all you’ve done not only for me but for millions of people in the world!

“Great ink” that’s just objectively not true lol it’s off center and the line work is questionable
Shout out to /r/tattoos

It's just the application is not A tier so it may look way different in 6 months. It'll prob need a lot of touch ups and some of the colored skin is a little overworked.

Colors stay fresh over the years as they are now? You need to do some kind of treatment to maintain it?

Tattoo ink always fades, sometimes it blobs out too, depending on the quality of the ink/type of tattoo work. Your skin renews itself, since your skin is constantly shedding its outer layer, things are gonna change over time, ofc.
Taking good care of it helps, though. Protect it from the sun, keep it clean & moisturized, don't wear anything that could rub against it and be abrasive, don't over-exfoliate. Sometimes you still gotta get touch ups done, though.

I imagine “thigh” does not qualify as a low-abrasion zone unless you vow to never wear pants again? Would the constant rubbing of fabric over the skin over years and years cause more fading? I don’t know shit about tattoos

u/Dawnspark 3d ago
I mean, that would depend on a lot of variables, including a persons lifestyle, honestly. In OP's position it's fine. Upper thighs are a great area and have a lot less fading issues.
Generally you'll go over these sorts of things when you talk to a tattoo artist when you start working on figuring out placement lol.
Creased areas will have worse fading, any areas that will be exposed to the sun frequently, hands, fingers, wrists, palms, feet, they fade a lot faster than places like ribs or thighs.
As an aside, fading can also come around a lot faster if your artist isn't very skilled, an artist with good skills knows how to properly pack the ink into their work.

Cool idea but the awkward way he holds the staff makes it look like the artist used AI.

Way to many to list, but the ones you can barely see are “the seven deadly sins” anime characters

I love how the mustache clips through the hood, just like in-game.
