I had a mind blown moment when I realized that “cape” is one of the few words that appear in the title of the game, Old School RunesCAPE. No wonder there’s a cape for every skill and some other extra very important capes, like the fire cape, the infernal cape, or the imbued god capes. Other scapers figured out the importance of “cape” in RuneScape long before me, and surely enough they found enough inspiration as to wear their favourite capes right on their skin as tattoos.

This is a detailed tattoo resembling the woodcutting cape. It was created to cover up a different tattoo and the scaper who got it admits: “woodcutting is my fav skill and it was my first 99 and first 120 and 200m so had to get it done. It was a cover up”.

Ironman Max Cape tattoo
This tattoo puts together three different elements: an ironman icon, a max cape, and the text “Fe Schrute 6 9 23” which could symbolize either an in memory message or the date when they got their max cape. Further research was not conclusive, but there is a small youtube channel with this name and the last video is 4 years ago. I couldn’t locate them on the hiscores and WiseOldman doesn’t seem to hold much info either. Their X account linked on their youtube was also removed…
