Tattoos are amazing and permanent ways to express oneself. Even though their style can be so different and unique they are part of the wearer and of the artist and in this case of something more. These Old School RuneScape inspired tattoos are part of the game, a part brought to life with ink to immortalize the characters these scapers love to play or to allude to them.

Quest cape emote character tattoo
Simple but outstanding this tattoo displays an Old School RuneScape character performing the Quest cape emote. The scaper admitted that they’ve “been playing for nearly over 12 years, never had a skill cape, never reached my first 10M. Took a “break” for a few long years, came back last year not knowing wtf RuneScape has become. 5 months of grinding, level 93, achieved my first cape- a Quest Cape. It’s only right that I take this accomplishment permanently as a sign of a childhood core memory dream come true.”

This scaper got an outline of an OSRS character wielding a Bandos godsword and wearing the Bandos armour and melee gear. They also made an update with the finished tattoo.

This purple and black tattoo is a great representation of a character wearing magic gear alongside an Ancient staff. The tattoo is simple but striking and one of my personal favorites partly because of the purple and the smooth shading.

This tattoo is a interpretation of an Old School RuneScape character wearing ranged gear. It is placed on the upper arm and the design features a fragmented, polygonal style, creating an abstract version of the character with muted earth tones and subtle shading. The use of line work is precise, and the shading underlines the angular shapes, giving a 3D effect.
Zaros character tattoo
This tattoo portrays a cat dressed in a robe from Old School RuneScape along with the ancient staff, located on the forearm. The cat is rendered in a realistic style with detailed shading and texture, contrasting with the simplistic, bright purple ancient staff she’s holding. The use of soft grays and browns gives the cat a lifelike appearance. This tattoo hints at the game and is a very unique representation of an OSRS character.

This tattoo, made on the calf, features an Old School RuneScape character in detailed melee armor (Bandos chestplate and tassets) and wielding an abyssal whip alongside the dragonfire shield, done in a sketch-like, linework style without color, emphasizing the draftsmanship. The tattoo is medium-sized, neatly fitting the calf area, using fine lines and cross-hatching for shading, giving it a hand-drawn, almost illustrative feel.
Colourful melleer tattoo
This tattoo features a vividly colored OSRS character on the upper thigh. The tattoo is done in a rich, illustrative style with deep reds and muted earth tones, accentuated by detailed shading and textural contrasts to display a character wearing the dragon platelegs, fighter torso, abyssal whip and amulet of glory, like a true mid-gamer. The figure is shown with dynamic contours and a sense of movement, emphasizing the character’s armor and gear.
Melee charter tattoo
This tattoo showcases another OSRS character placed on the forearm wearing higher tier melee gear than the other ones. It’s executed in a bold, new-school style featuring vivid red and gray colors with black outlining to emphasize contrast and depth. The artistic technique involves smooth shading and crisp linework, capturing the once best in slot Bandos tassets, Bandos chest, and the still BIS primordial boots, ferocious gloves, and faceguard while wielding one of the most popular weapons: the abyssal whip. If you’re curious about how other OSRS weapons turned out as tattoos check this.
