WoW fan makes permanent statement
Gives right buttock for an imaginary horse

A WORLD of Warcraft player has tattooed the name of his guild onto his right buttock in a bid to raise 'money' for a 'flying steed'.

The bloke, who goes by the handle of Ghosti, found himself short of enough virtual gold for an epic flying mount. He went to his guild which is called Garithos and offered that if people paid him enough virtual gold he would tattoo the poetic phrase “Garithos.com Swallow or its going in your eye” on his backside.

He didn't expect to be enough takers, but as is the way of the internet, the guild called his bluff raised enough cash.

Despite the fact that his girlfriend, his girlfriend's mum and indeed he himself thought the whole thing was the 'fecking stupidest thing he had done', he went ahead with it.

To prove that he had done it, he made a NSW YouTube documentary of the whole thing.

The story has been picked up by the news blogs. Some of the Garithos guild are not too happy about this. They have been claiming that the real world have not treated Ghosti's act with the respect it deserves.

“They just don't understand the whole social thing,” one gamer moaned.

Might be a bit difficult to explain the meaning of your tattoo to your grandchildren. “Oh it was this silly online game that we all played and they were arranged in clubs. Well you will have to ask your Mother about the 'in your face' comment.”
