Yeah, if Night Elves are finally getting the iconic leaves-in-hair from the original box art of World of Warcraft as options, then Blood Elves should get their iconic eye rune tattoos from the Burning Crusade box art.
I also think they should add piercing options for male Orcs as well as jewelry options for male and female Worgen. Male Orcs are frequently portrayed as having piercings similar to what female Orcs get (especially nose rings), yet piercings are absent from male Orc customization. Saurfang himself got a nose ring with his model update.
Similarly, Genn Greymane is sometimes portrayed with piercings on his ears and rings on his teeth.
I absolutely want the eye tattoo from the Burning Crusade box art as a customization option for Blood Elves.

Neither are Alleria’s ripped off from the Nelves tattoos.
Agreed. These sound like great customization options for Orcs.
If you or anyone else is interested in talking more about Orcs, then id recommend this thread here.
There’s also this thread all about Worgen.
I think both of these great threads deserve some more attention, and i’m using this as an opportunity to give them some. 
This is sadly the truth.

All races should have tattoo options.

I’m now picturing a gnome warrior with a full sleeve tattoo.

I agree. I even said this in my OP.
Maybe change your title… 
Eves in the title do get more hits though.

You can ask all you want, that doesn’t mean Alleria’s tatoos don’t fit alliance high elves more. Is this a touchy subject for you belves too? My dearest sympathies.

To quote yourself in a thread asking for high elves…
Funny that the people claiming others are gatekeeping are actually gatekeepers themselves.

Blood elf demon hunters do have one or two options for facial markings that look like tattoos or ritualistic scarring that remind me a little of the Burning Crusade box art, which is why I use one of them for my demon hunter. I wouldn’t mind something similar for the other classes, as long as the demon hunter markings were kept unique to them.
As for other tattoos, yes please! Obviously Rommath has tattoos already, I would love for my mage to have something even remotely similar. I also think ranger tattoos make sense, as I doubt the rangers decided to en masse get rid of their existing tattoos after Kael’thas renamed them sin’dorei. I can understand not having blue ones be available to avoid looking too much like Alleria, but other colors should be fine. Personally I think phoenix-themed tattoos would be fun for a distinctly sin’dorei aesthetic, but that’s because I think the Farstrider Hanzo skin from Heroes of the Storm is cool:

Really, just give everyone tattoo options, it’d be fun.

Ah, i forgot about Farstrider Hanzo. Phoenix tattoos would definitely be an awesome option for sure!
I’ll go ahead and edit this one onto the OP since i think it’s a great idea. Thanks!

They really don’t though considering that alliance high elves have largely abandoned high elven traditions and themes in favor of Alliance ones. Blood elves are the only ones that actively carry on, and pursue traditional High elven customs and beliefs which is why the only high elf we see with tattoos is a high elf who essentially hopped out a time bubble from the time of traditional high elves.
Heck she doesn’t even try to recruit her own High elves when she returns, she immediately goes back to Silvermoon to try to bring them into the Alliance, and eventually recruits a band outcast Blood elves to join her instead.
Since Blood elves are really the only group left to still practice and honor High elven traditions, you’re far more likely to see a Blood elf ranger like a Farstrider with a tattoo than any Alliance High elf living in Stormwind with the humans.

Sounds like some kind of headcanon. Quel’dorei tradition is incompatible with the Horde. At least we can play with the Alliance now.
Back on topic, though: Not sure why Blizzard chose to do body jewelry for belfs instead of their spikey arcane tattoos, which would have probably been more fitting. But Alleria tattoos? Those are for the Alliance.

It was in there lore that blood elves had tattoos O.o it’s the customization I was waiting for.

Sounds like you need to brush up on their lore because simply responding to me with “No, because this!” doesn’t actually do anything unfortunately.
Right I’m sure all the Alliance High elf mages in Stormwind are all wearing tattoos for some reason, even though we can clearly see them wearing human clothes, speaking common, and living in human households. It’s no coincidence that the only high elf with tattoos is the one who hopped out of a time-bubble from the time of traditional high elves.

Yup. There are plenty examples of Quel’dorei who strongly stand against the horde. Sin’dorei are not Quel’dorei. Seems funny that I have to make this distinction when it should be quite obvious
I totally support blood elf tattoos. There are plenty that can signify their segment away from high elves into the horde.
This proves nothing. Where are the blood elves with tattoos? Out of the game altogether only in box art? Yes, the only high elf with tattoos is a special NPC, is this news to you? As if leader NPCs didn’t have special models before? Lmao.
