WoW Classic coming in 1.5 weeks and my annual vacation with my TBC WoW guildies happening right after got me feeling a lot of ways. Some new folks have trickled into my Twitter lately, so I wanted to share a cool part of me with all ya'll: my big ol' nerd tattoos! A thread.

Completed: 2014 Artist Yvonne La (Outer Limits Long Beach) It me! My first ever. I got the Druid bear form tattoos (technically Horde coloring). I'd wanted tattoos for a long time and this was right around when I confirmed my big deal grad research would be WoW focused.pic.twitter.com/dUhYX8uMpM

Completed: 2016 Artist: Laura Wangerin (Outer Limits Long Beach) 2nd tattoo. A combination of T5 & T6 armor with horns for my Tauren. TBC was a huge part of my life and where I met some of my longest friends (looking at you
@justsome_donkus, @skrunk55, &@gyllhimself). >>pic.twitter.com/dS4qztWmaD

>> this was right after a pretty bad breakup where I was re-finding my own groove. Tattoos had always been something I got amped about and rebuilding my armor seemed like a good metaphor for the time. Pain level: TERRIBLE. DON'T DO STOMACH TATTOOS OMG.

Completed: 2017 Artist: Laura Wangerin (Outer Limits Long Beach) Technically 2 tattoos. Sun is modeled after the sun tattoo my dad has (pictured), but with Death from The Sandman's face. She's always been a character that resonated with me. Moons are just sick, dude.pic.twitter.com/NuSj9SOHks

Completed: 2018 Artist: Laura Wangerin (Outer Limits Long Beach) NWN was a game I tanked hundreds of hours into with my dad growing up, and Zelda was the same with my brother. Commemorating family video game bonding (mom games too! We play puzzle games and JRPGs together.).pic.twitter.com/GcIkc0TCsv

Completed: 2019 Artist: Nakota Garza (Vatican Studios) My first fairly visible tattoo. This was my treat to myself after getting a job at Blizzard. I already had bear tattoos, so I went with resto this time. I gave Nakota a bunch of druidy WoW concept art and told her to go ham.pic.twitter.com/FngBXIi7l6

A couple static images of the last one. A lot of this one is WoW-inspired but in particular you can see flowers from the Staff of Verdant Growth and T5 shoulders + leaves from the heal spell casting animations! One of the inspo photos included here.pic.twitter.com/HbrT2yPfIf

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE...FOR NOW. My legs are atrociously bare (*wink nudge* any friends in game design who want to make a badass Druid lady with sick leg tattoos) and head tattoos are sick (those probably need to wait til I'm "fuck you I do what I want" status). Thx for reading!

No idea! I've been noodling on some ideas for a long time. At one point it was going to be Tychus or Anudin. But I AM a horde baby. So..... no idea XD
