which tattoo and where to get

Now, I've seen some pretty stupid tattoos, and I'm generally against them unless they're at least the slightest bit meaningful. Myself, I don't play World of Warcraft anymore, but I've played for about 7 years, since I was 12, and have racked up at least 6 months total played time in that time. That entire time I've played the same class, a mage, and I want to get a tattoo to represent that. WoW has been a huge part of my childhood and shaped who I am as a person greatly. I don't believe I'll have any regrets with this tattoo. The two choices I've come down to are these
Arcane Intellect

Or
Dalaran Brilliance

These are pretty universal symbols of the class with just slight variations.
As for where to get, I could get it on my upper right arm bigger and a little stylized to look super awesome, and that would be nice to be able to easily cover it up. On the other hand, if I were to keep it small and simple I think it would be really cool to get it on my inner wrist.
Anyway, what does everyone else think?

7 years and you only racked up 6 months played?
Shit i started 6 months before bc and stopped in the middle of cata with some breaks toward the end and i had two different chars with over a year played and multiples with 3 months played
Ahhh so much time wasted
Anyway i like ai cause i have a nostalgia hard on for vanilla. And for a tattoo like this small and understated would be my choice

I'm not ashamed of it at all, and only people who play the game will be able to recognize what it is. I think it's a pretty cool looking standalone anyway. I also think it says a lot that I haven't played the game as delicately as I did at my height in years but I still want the tattoo. Like I said, this game has been a huge part of my life and I absolutely love it. I will always be a fan. It's really no different than a LotR or Starwars tattoo.
As a mage it's really a flavor of the month kind of thing for what spec I play. In wrath when I raided most seriously I was arcane of course (111211121112), for the beginning of WoD when I raided it was frost, but fire has always been my favorite.

So where do you guys think I should get it? I'd like out maybe on my forearm or inner wrist for visibility, but then again I'd like it somewhere else for the same reason. If I got it somewhere visible it would be very simple like as pictured, but if I got it somewhere else I could get it stylized and a little more elaborate.

Eh, your skin, your choice. Just make sure the tattooist has a modicum of artistic ability before you get it done.

This is why ive had people i know rough draft then sketch out my two tattoos. Then just take the sketch in and have them stencil it. I dont trust people to free hand something that is going to be indelibly inked onto my skin

I'm a simple guy, there aren't many things I feel the need to spend my money on. And I'm a huge faggot anyway so maybe that could even help me out a little bit. So thanks for the advice dood

Dalaran because it's symmetrical
I would put that on my chest right under my neck 
Once you get ink you'll be addicted

I thought I'd be happy with my one first tattoo
Now I get new ink 4-5 times a year

Maybe he should get ganja on his forearm so he spells it right. But then again I don't have the Jah spelling primer. What to do what to do?

if you have to ask and you're not entirely sure about what to get then i would advise you shouldn't really be getting a tattoo.
ive gotten tattoos myself and i regret them. you basically pay money to torture yourself and get strange looks when you go to the beach. and in 20 years it turns into blobs of shit anyway thats indecypherable. and costs alot more and is x10 more painful to remove.
if you are completely set on getting the tattoo, thats fine, but just wait a few months first. and if you've still got the itch that needs scratching then go get it done. not a good idea to get tattoos on impulse though.
also, tattoos are a different medium. images like this one here that you've quoted, don't transfer well into a tattoo

the good thing is though with good artists, they will re-sketch images for you. so you take images into them and describe your vision of what you want the tattoo to look like, and the elements you want the tattoo to have, and give them reference images, and they will re-sketch it for yourself usually for free and translate it into a way that will work as a tattoo also

Damn I thought I had it narrowed down to either my inner forearm or the outside of my upper arm, but I really do like that spot especially for that particular tattoo.
And that's exactly what I'm worried about, because I can see myself getting addicted too easily. I think a few small tattoos are a nice touch but honestly I don't think it looks very good to be fully tatted everywhere.

for first tattoos i would definitely recomend a lesser visible area. nothing on the neck or below the shoulder for a first tattoo i would say.
also, these kind of tattoos like what you've display in the OP do not look good as small tattoos. it wont look right and wont have the right detail to be recognizeable. those kind of tattoos start to look better then bigger you make them. in general tattoos look better the bigger they are as they require less fine detail and have more that they can work with

@Soulidarity yeah that image I posted I was mainly thinking a tattoo of illidan sitting on the ledge like that would be super fucking awesome.
But this definitely won't be an impulse tat. I've been toying with the idea for quite some time about getting a WoW related tattoo just to signify the amount of my life I've dedicated to the game. Only recently have I been thinking more seriously about it and I still don't plan on getting it in the immediate future. I'll definitely update the thread when I get it done though.

the good thing atleast is there is ALOT of blizzard artwork to work with, and some really great stuff that would transfer well to tattoo, particularly the black and grey sketch stuff. i general CGI and computer generated stuff wont translate well to tattoo. it lends itself more to pencil drawn sort of stuff like this:

this blown up real big across the back or chest would look amazing:

Yeah I'm aware something like what I posted would have to be resketched before translating to ink on skin. Even something simple like mine I'm going to have my cousin who is a really good artist sketch it out exactly how I want it to bring in. I'm hoping she can do something really cool with it without diverging too far from the original symbol.
