After seven long years of waiting and several tedious redevelopments, The Last of Us 2 is finally available to players. In this article, you will find out what the tattoos on Ellie's arm mean.
Since the first trailer for the game, which aired back in 2016, fans have been thinking about what the tattoo on Ellie's arm means. And so, when The Last of Us 2 finally came out, many people are hoping to find an answer to this question. However, they may be disappointed as there is no definitive answer for the players.
Neil Drachman commented on fan theories. He said the tattoo makes sense - it hides the site of Ellie's bite. In the first part, she was given to understand that she would have a lot of problems due to the bite, so the tattoo is actually a great solution.
The tattoo itself depicts a moth, which the developers liked because of its resemblance to the cicada, after which the detachment of revolutionaries is named. Moreover, the tattoo is a symbol of death and compulsion.
Moreover, it symbolizes the caring and, to some extent, kinship between Ellie and Joel in the past. This symbol is also engraved on Ellie's guitar as a gift from Joel.
