It's something that's been asked for for a long time. The ability to tat-up your character.
Well, I saw something in the screenshots today that caught my eye and after a quick search, didn't see any threads about it, so...
go look here.
(Second row, farthest to the right)
This very well could be a one-time, custom NPC but to the best of my knowledge it looks like nothing else in the game. That and this orc doesn't exactly scream "Important NPC," more like "second quest-giver."
I mean, when better to launch something like tattoos than during an X-Pac that revolutionizes everything?

It could be that, or blizzard could just be eye teasing you with that and it is really some kind of odd armor skin that you have a tatty on your chest for. Hey they have had weirder things that equitable tattoo armor!

That would be pretty pointless for players since your armor covers your entire body, unless of course they just did face tats.

I did think about this, but I know a lot of players ask for it anyway. Maybe they take their character's shirt off more than I do...

There are already chest tattoo textures in the game, but I think they take up the armor slot or the shirt slot or something. They use it for a number of NPCs (a currently in-game example is
Abdul the Insane
). You can view what the tattoo-shirt looks like on any playable character in the WoW Model Viewer (the program, not the Wowhead model viewer).
All they would need to do would be to, essentially, sell player-buyable "shirts" that have those tattoo textures associated with them. It's quite doable already.
Of course, if you're talking about some kind of custom, barber-shop like system where you don't have to occupy your shirt slot with a non-shirt item, yeah, they'd have to develop something to do that.

I'd like a Tattoo option, a lot. It would customise people's characters quite subtantially.

Shame they are no longer available.

It would also be very cool to have an equipped gear view, and a visual gear view. Meaning, one could be for looks, and the other for actualy gear. I like that idea as well. Tattoos would be very cool.
Agreed.
