Hello ESO Friends,
I would like to show you this Nord Tattoo.
Made by the fantastic tattoo-artist and wonderful friend Herzdame Claudia (Unter die Haut Tattoo Studio, Neumünster, Germany) for a customer (sadly it's not in my skin). It's not finished yet, but in my opinion it looks already now awesome.

How do you like it?

Someone else have one?

(Sorry for my bad english)

    Not a personal fan of tattoos, but each to their own.

    I do like the art work and it is generic enough that it is not obviously a game related tattoo. That always puzzled me when someone would get a video game logo for a tattoo.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Looks great! I have no tattoos and don't wish to get any but if I were ever to get a tattoo it would be of either Deadpool's symbol or the ESO Ouroboros

    Why would it puzzle you? If the game meant a lot to someone, it doesn't seem like a stretch.

    It's like getting a tattoo of your girlfriends name. You may think she is the world today, but what about next year or the year after that?

    Assuming you're a fan of skyrim, do you expect a year from now to hate it? While an argument can be made against MMOs, games are generally static ... unlike people who are dynamic and unpredictable. I assume this person is a fan of the artwork/franchise as a whole, which will likely never change.

    Well yes and no. Games that are volatile like an MMO I agree with. Anything that can be here today gone tomorrow. But games that play a role in your life or mean something to you, I think make great tattoos. But tattoos are permanent, so this is the case with anything you get. I'd not get artwork from ESO, but maybe something from The Elder Scrolls lore.

    Personally, I grew up with NES, SNES, Sega Master System, and Sega Genesis. So a lot of those older games would totally be something I'd get ink over.

    I don't hate any of my ex's (well there is one but that is a long story) and I remember everyone of them more fondly that I do a video game. But I am still glad I did not identify my body with a permanent reminder of the time we spent together.

    So you would get a forearm sized tattoo of Mario and Luigi? And be proud of it? And seriously expect to ever get laid again?

    If an unoffensive forearm tattoo hinders your chances then I doubt the tattoo is the problem. Just sayin.

    Its all about the art! Tats dont always have to mean something and this one is bad-ass enough that even if the dude ended up hating the ES franchise, its still awesome art work.

    My husband has Alduin on his shoulder, when hes done he will wrap around to his back and down his arm... its a pretty sweet tat, artistically beautiful. And if for some reason he ended up hating Skyrim (wont happen lol) he is still one awesome dragon.

    If you get a tattoo, the artwork counts, not if you like skyrim or something else one year later. and the elder scrolls have fantastic artwork, and i think it's interessting to see, how this very different things (videogames and tattoos) match together, you can see how videogames influence our life.

    I got this around the time of Skyrim, Nordic inspired, but it still fits for this game too.

    I've got the Imperial Dragon on my arm, alongside a smaller Black Hand, Daedric 'O' from Oblivion, Hircine's wolf from the Morrowind box cover, and an 'A' in Draconic from Skyrim. But I'm debating on adding more to it, to try and build it up into an Elder Scrolls half sleeve at least. I'd ask for advice if I could get the damn thing to post!
