Andrei Kirilenko expresses his love for WoW?

Once upon a time I was searching Game of Thrones tattoos and came across this gigantic piece on Russian-American pro basketball player Andrei Kirilenko. It’s said to be an image of his World of Warcraft character – a level 80 Paladin riding a dragon.  I’ve done what I can to research this and even though Kirilenko claims it’s not a WoW tattoo, he has admitted to being able to drop 36 hours straight on his days off and has expressed how much the game was a revelation for him, something that he had been looking for to express himself.

In my opinion, I think it’s amazing!  Kudos to Kirilenko for not giving a damn what people say and getting one huge kick-ass geek tattoo!!  Let me not forget to mention that it was his first ever tattoo to boot.

Done by the talented Vic Back, here are a few cell phone images of the piece. I normally wouldn’t post cell phone pictures, but these are the only shots I’ve seen of it, and it’s just too rad to not post!
