HBO’s The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin has celebrated the success of the video game adaptation by getting a tattoo of Ellie’s switchblade.
In a recent Instagram post, Mazin revealed his brand-new tattoo dedicated to The Last of Us. The image shows his forearm with a realistically inked copy of Ellie’s switchblade that is near-identical to the one featured in both the game and the HBO series.
“Early on when we were shooting The Last of Us, Neil Druckmann and I took an oath: if the show was well-received, we would each get a tattoo of Ellie’s switchblade,” Mazin explained. “Today, I fulfilled my oath, thanks to tattooist_yeono… I mean, LOOK at this thing! The detail! The shading! The ALL of it!”
