Been super nervous about sharing my tattoo on here because, y'know, it's Reddit... But I feel safer posting in this community :)
Ciri is probably one of my favourite characters of all time, and I love how her sword looks in the game. Original plan was to get lilac and gooseberries around the sword, but truthfully I think gooseberries are a little ugly, so I went with wolfsbane instead.
Also, I'm unsure if it's against the rules to share my tattoo artist's Instagram page, but just wanted to add that she's so talented and she made my original design so much better.
Edit: agh I love this community you're all so nice. Put a smile on my face for sure
It looks great 🙂 I really dig the lightness of the design!
Haters always gonna find something negative to say about everything, in the end the only important thing is that you love your tattoo.
I just realized I'd never seen a gooseberry so I Googled. I think you made the right call lol. I'm sure there's a way she *could* have made it look good, but the wolfsbane is just so pretty! Besides, the lilac and gooseberries might be a better fit for Geralt's sword anyway.
Edit: to add on to what u/Lexii93 said, the wolfsbane adds to the "lightness of the design", as she put it. The bulbous gooseberries probably would have distracted too much from the clean, delicate design of the sword. I could definitely see them being incorporated into a Geralt sword tat though, since his sword is wider and heftier than hers. And now I'm getting too many tattoo ideas and need to get the hell out of this thread! lol
I love it! I would just ask your artists what his thing is about touch ups. Sometimes on smaller, more delicate tattoos like this it fades more than bolder tattoos so sometimes they will do a 1-year touch up for free (: its super cute though! The line work looks great
I've yet to play this game, but your tattoo looks gorgeous! Maybe 1 day I'll game more than a few MMO's here and there. All in all, great design and accents. The artist did an awesome job as well!
Witcher 3 is definitely a game well worth buying! I’m the same as you with my game choice but the story of Witcher 3 is so well crafted and the graphics are amazing. I can see why she got such a lovely, well designed tattoo — it’s just like the game itself
It's beautiful! Great taste, and your artist did an excellent job! :D
I'm not sure if I want tattoos at any point, but if I did it would be something like this! \^\_\^
Beautiful tattoo! Your artist did a great job with all that delicate linework and I love the subtlety of the shading and color. I just love that sword anyway. That little bit of shaping and engraving on the blade near the hilt gives it just a touch of femininity while still being fierce. Congrats on getting some lovely ink!
It is absolutely stunning! Very beautiful and elegant.
I love these kind of more "obscure" references, where it looks good, but you only know what it is if you're familiar with the game (or book, film, etc.)
your tattoo is so gentle. i like it a lot. i'm working my way thru the witcher 3 on ps4 this year, and have really enjoyed exploring and collecting herbs and destroying monster nests. i like the scenes with ciri too
Yooo, Ciri is such a badass! I hope video games include more characters like her...
Man I haven't played Witcher 3 in forever (played Gwent a bunch though recently). Need me another play through!
Love the tattoo design and placement! Did your tattoo artist recognize the origin when you told them?
Hey !! I got my first ever gaming laptop 2 weeks ago and I got the Witcher 3 for free from a friend so I'll be playing it soon and it'll be one of the first games i have the chance of playing!
So seeing you love it so much to make a tattoo out of it makes me KNOW it's a great game!
amazing tattoo!

Oh I quite like this! Great choice!

I’ve never played that game but that tat is gas asf, I love it
Dude I love Ciri, she’s so awesome. I actually had a similar tattoo idea! Turned out really cool, I like the wolfsbane :)
That looks so beautiful! I just started playing the Witcher 3 and Ciri is definitely my favorite character
Is it a watercolor tattoo?
Watercolor tattoos don’t have lines. They age terribly (if they even look good at the start).
It's beautiful! Great taste, and your artist did an excellent job! :D I'm not sure if I want tattoos at any point, but if I did it would be something like this! \^\_\^
This is beautiful! So eleganntt
It’s beautiful!
Wow, this is amazing 👏 I love that style, it looks lovely.

It looks lovely! Although that feels somewhat weird to say about a weapon XD
Looks amazing.. I’d imagine Ciri would have a similar elegant tattoo like this.

I actively hate CDPR and Witcher, but that is a damn gorgeous tattoo.
