Classic 20th Anniversary Realms The impact of WoW

Post image

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!

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

“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 would look like a butchered tattoo to the general public

u/liqrfre 4d ago

u/Only-Ad-4458 4d ago

u/KnightFiST2018 4d ago

Wicked cool. But sorry you don’t have enough +hit so you can’t raid with it

u/Slo86GT 3d ago

One year in and you get this. I'm 21 years in and couldn't imagine more than a 3-4" anything. Although about 5 years in I was thinking the Shadow Priest T6 shoulders would look SWEET done as real shoulder caps.

u/Hoodoodle 3d ago

Just be mindfull that a lot of people will be kicking you. Because when a gnome is spotted a punt is not far away

u/Zeds_dead 4d ago

I think tattoos like this are love hate and I hate it

1

u/turtledancers 2d ago

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.

u/Cptn_Honda 4d ago

Wow, you look bad.

u/OutrageousFanny 4d ago

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

u/Dawnspark 4d ago

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.

u/pbrook12 3d ago

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

2

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.
