If you're a Skyrim fan - wait, an RPG games fan - heck! a PC gaming fan, you'll have heard it. "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee." The much-uttered phrase from the 2011 open-world game's many, many grumpy and seemingly identical guards has transcended Tamriel, and is a common meme across gaming communities. One Skyrim fan, though, has taken it to an impressive new level, embracing the meme as part of their very self by actually getting an arrow through the knee. Well, kind of.
"I used to be an adventurer like you," Reddior Asaru9 jokes on the Skyrim subreddit, revealing a brand-new tattoo they've got sprawling up their right leg, which - yep, you guessed it - depicts one of the beloved RPG's arrows piercing their knee. As you can see in the embed below, it's a pretty hefty tattoo, spanning much of the middle of their leg, and there's no doubt what it's of.
Skyrim fans will spot that it's a faithful illustration of the game's steel arrows, with decorative metal barbing and a gap in the middle of the arrowhead true to the Tamriel's version.
