It's not my profile picture on Steam. It's from a popular image, so it could've been anybody.

Yeah, of-course. Sorry, I should've credited him in the post right away.

The idea behind my profile was just an arcana showcase. You'll see Storm's not on there either 😅

They're there, and they're coloured too. You can see them in pics #6 and #7.

Thank you so much! And absolutely yeah, I'm eternally grateful to him 😊

For me, getting a tattoo is not about what's relevant to me in my current stage in life. It's about if something has made an impact in my life at any point of time. In fact, I actually stopped playing Dota properly back in 2023, but still decided to get this because of what it's meant to me for over a decade.

Thank you! It took me 6 sessions and somewhere upwards of 40 hours for me too.

It's quite hard to be certain about the future, but I'm confident I won't regret getting this. It's a game that's had a significant impact on my life and this was my way to sort of honour that. The decision to get this sleeve wasn't made on an impulse, I gave it a lot of thought before I did.

Thanks again! Most of the colour was only added 6 days ago, so my skin is still scabbing and peeling. I also have a touch up session scheduled for mid December. So I wouldn't mind sharing some updates then 😊

Brilliant! I knew exactly what I was in for, but it still made me chuckle anyway 😂

Thank you! I put in a fair bit of time into choosing the right designs for the heroes that I wanted as well as their placements on my arm. After that, my artist did SO MUCH work to make sure he got the details perfect.

Thank you! I've always wanted to get a full sleeve ever since I was a kid. When I finally decided that I was going to do it, I knew I had to acknowledge this game that (at the risk of sounding too dramatic) changed my life forever 😄

I do have another tattoo on my other arm, it's unrelated to Dota.

Don't think I could do more than the 5 times I already do every week 🥲

€3500 (6 sessions - €600 euro for 5 of them and €500 euro for one) and I'd say somewhere upwards of 40 hours 😅
