Only if you chop off the part of your body you put the tat on and try to sell it.

While we don't really give specific written permission to use the Ouroboros, as long as you're not somehow making money off of it or using it in a vulgar way, you're free to use the design in your tattoo. Be sure to send us some pictures when it's finished!

So I shouldn't use the logo to outline my butthole?

Brings a hole new meaning to entering the game.

I'm having some new ink-work done soon and as part of it I want to use the ES Ouroborus logo.
I notice the little trade mark symbol on every official pic so i was wondering, do I need permission to use it?

Seems a daft question I know but i'm sure I remember reading about somebody getting into trouble by having a game logo or something tattooed on themselves that was visible.

Can anyone advise on this?

Oh and no, i'm not after freebies for advertising

Please dont you will only regret it

Nah, i'm 40 this year and got my first ink when I was 16, not regretted any work I had done. my best piece so far if a whole arm work where my skin is torn and it's alligator scales underneath

I have a good idea for this next piece but lets just say for now that the serpent is gonna make an appearance too

Just don't call it a Daedric portal.

OH NOES! Attack of the *** Atronach's!

It might be okay - even if ones tastes change its a pretty innocous. Its best not to put it on ones forehead or something like that.

even trademark logos that are bigger then ESO,

Like Cola


Apple/windows



and if you google more, has all been made into tats, and none have ever been taking legal action against.

A tat based on a video game is a questionable choice.

Kind of like putting your GF's name as a tat. Seems like a good idea at the time, but will you still feel the same way in 10 years or 20 years? Or next week?

Normally I'd agree, but the logo is cool enough on it's own, even if you don't know what it's from.

You'd only take legal action in the absolute most dire circumstances (like the butthole/daedric portal example). It's essentially free marketing of the best kind. Share some pics though, sounds cool.

How are they ever going to find out someone tattooed the logo around their butthole?

...on second thought, I don't want to know.

@Sallington
Well, are you planning to make money with that?

Best reply ever!

Except the tattoo is not based on a video game. The symbol her is referring to is an ancient symbol which Zenimax have altered to fit their needs which is fair enough.

"The Ouroboros often symbolizes self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. While first emerging in Ancient Egypt, the Ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism." - Wikipedia

Not the most reliable of sources, but it's a lot more reader-friendly than most dusty old texts out there.

So if he ever falls out of love with ESO, the tattoo will still have secondary and tertiary meanings to fall back on.

Although totally with you on the gf tattoo thing. Don't do that OP. At least ESO isn't going to call you 15 times during the night because it had a dream where you played another game, and when you awake in the morning to return the calls are accused that you didn't answer because you were playing that other game and ESO hates you and you're the worst person ever.

Yeah.

I agree. Many video game tats are something most folks wouldn't get unless they played. The logo is something that looks like tats today and people love that look. If you got to get one its as good a choice as any and better than some.
