So I've been playing the Guild Wars franchise for over half my life, and I felt like it was finally time to get a tattoo of my favorite game series. I'm just really excited about how it turned out and wanted to share!

Feel free to share any GW1/2 tattoos y'all have?

That's a great tattoo! Your artist knew what they were doing.

A lot of artists won't do watercolor style tattoos because that style usually doesn't have a black outline or clients will insist that they don't want a black outline.

A black outline keeps the colors crisp and vibrant over time, rather than spreading into a blob of colors.

The part at the top, where there isn't a full outline, will probably fade nicely--kind of like how a real fire is less intense at the top of the flames and will probably give a cool effect to the piece.
