“Why would you ever even think about getting a Warcraft tattoo? I mean, why would that even bubble up as a thought at all?” I asked my younger brother, incredulously.
He leaned back in his black leather computer chair, putting his level 70 undead rogue into stealth. “Because I would like it.”
One brave girl with a murloc. Something tells me that she added in the dual swords herself when she got home.
A gorgeous trollish design on this man's back goes beyond Warcraft. Had you never set eyes on the actual game itself, you might get the impression that he was inspired by an outside voodoo influence. Either way, it's big, it's impressive, and it lets his gamer community see how far he's willing to go for the lesser-loved Horde race.
Here we have yet another earthy, troll-like design from a man very passionate about his video games. It's unfortunate that red is the signifying color of the Horde side as it tends to fade very quickly on tattoos. I hope he doesn't mind pink, which it already looks as if it's fading into when this photo was taken.
The Horde insignia tattoo that this woman had done on the back of her neck is as simple and as classy as video game tattoos seem to get. If she one day decided that she loved cookies and moved to the Alliance side, it wouldn't be such a big deal to grow her hair out and hide her previous love for the Horde.
Generally the kinds of people who get these tattoos are Warcraft fanatics. They consider their characters in the game to be extensions of themselves and have a burning crusade… burning DESIRE to share these parts of themselves which they invest months--and in many cases, years--to the rest of the “real world”. It is of course the sign of ultimate nerdom, but from a logical viewpoint, it's no different from a man who gets a compass tattooed on his shoulder blade because he likes to travel.
So if you're considering placing Warcraft art all over your body for the world to see, remember that the cost and the pain to remove the level 26 male draenei paladin from the back of your leg isn't promising fun.
