    I've love to be one of those dudes who looks into every detail for some sort of clues but I honestly don't have the attention span for it :pac: but anybody think that tattoo has a meaning? Besides the obvious.

    Like black/white kinda like a ying yang symbol (good/bad), first game was about Love this one will be about Hate.

    I'd like to know where someone gets a perfect tattoo 25 years into a zombie apocalypse.

    Also anyone cosplaying as Ellie will just look like a dirty person in normal clothes.

    Civilization rebuilds. Look at the place where Joel's brother settled down, looks like a pretty normal town. Plus we know they have access to electricity, plus maybe a member of the town was an artist with all his gear?

    Yeah I get that, it just seems super low priority to have a tattoo artist :pac:

    I'm more surprised Ellie's arm is exposed considering that's where her bitemark is. Surely it'd raise a lot of questions with people that she was bitten and survived.

    Handy reason for her to get a tattoo to cover it up.

    She was bitten on her right arm
    It's so sad I know this without having to look it up

    Eh, em… people would be so distracted by the tattoo on her left arm that they wouldn't look at her right arm?

    The tattoo is on the same arm as the bite. The butterfly part of the design might be on top of the bite to try cover it up.

    Just looked at the trailer again and the tattoo is on the right arm.

    Sorry yes it is on the right arm. I looked at the picture above and thought the tattoo was on her left arm.

    Bitemark was on the underside of her arm

    Yeah, maybe the way it twists around her arm could help cover up the bitemark. Then again, if she's immune, maybe after 5 years it's mostly healed.

    The tattoo in the cosplayer guide picture above seems to cover that part of her arm.

    So, confirmed the tattoo is covering the bite, poster below released by ND back in September for Outbreak Day.

    Also, I remembered the easter egg in Uncharted 4 showing a Darkhorse Comics cover for a TLOU Story. My prediction is Ellie got preggers and the baby was taken for experimentation as it was probably immune as well, and maybe killed like Ellie was supposed to be. Ellie goes on Mothers Wrath rampage, most likely a suicide mission with Joel asking if she is sure she wants to do it.

    There's a couple of problems with that. Ellie's gay so she 1) got raped, 2) changed her mind about being gay, or 3) decided to have a child at 19. The only non internet outrage mob option is three which seems very out of character.

    She may have adopted an orphan and considered it hers? Or maybe not even a baby but a child that she treated like a sister. Lots of possibilities.

    Well she's pregnant in the comic cover in Uncharted 4. Obviously, this might not be her, canon, anything but sticking to the theory, looks like it could get fairly dark.

    That wouldn't tie in to the theory of a child of Ellie's having the same immunity causing the Fireflies to kidnap/kill the child which kinda defeats the purpose of the theory. By that stage it'd be as well as Ellie having a girlfriend and them killing her while trying to recapture Ellie.

    Just out of curiosity, if Ellie is immune why would she be wearing a gas mask?

    Possible disguise, it would be a fairly common sight. It worked well eniough for Yorrick in Y the Last Man.

    To protect the baby? No guarantee it would be immune

    But Ellie is already infected.

    If she was walking around without a mask while everyone else needs one, it wouldn't take long for people to figure out she's immune.

    She kissed her friend aged 13 or whatever. Unless I'm forgetting something else, I wouldn't definitively assume she is gay.

    I would agree except that as far as I know Druckmann said she was gay. But I can only find one, now defunct, website that has a direct quote.

    Genetics isn't that simple but then again the science in the original last of us was awful. Blind creatures using sonar is an oxymoron.

    Plenty of animals use sonar or echolocation. Some are literally blind as bats!
