John Sweeney, Art Director at Naughty Dog, shared some background and inspiration behind the design:
When we first revealed The Last of Us Part II, we had no idea how quickly fans would embrace Ellie’s tattoo. Within a day, we started seeing real-life versions showing up on social media and fans have been sharing photos of their new tattoos with us week after week ever since.
When the opportunity arose to create a custom PS4 Pro for The Last of Us Part II, I worked with our graphic designer at the time, Angel Garcia, and we considered a few different ideas, but we kept coming back to Ellie’s tattoo. By that point, it had become a symbol of the game and for the community–much like the Firefly logo in the first game. It was the clear choice, but we wondered: what if it could be engraved? It hadn’t been done before, so we weren’t sure it was even possible, but thanks to the incredible efforts of the teams at PlayStation, we found a way.
The result is something we feel is really special–a design that honors the passion of our incredible fans and that we ourselves would be proud to own.
We can’t wait for you to see it in person and for you to experience The Last of Us Part II for yourselves!
Furthermore, we’re also launching a Limited Edition Gold Wireless Headset presented in a Steel Black matte finish with contrasting, crimson inner ear cups – this stylish wireless headset features Ellie’s fern tattoo and the game logo. The headset will be available for $99.99 USD (MSRP) / $119.99 CAD (MSRP).
Lastly, we’re partnering with Seagate to introduce the Limited Edition The Last of Us Part II Officially Licensed Seagate 2TB Game Drive. The officially licensed Game Drive features a laser-etched design of Ellie’s tattoo, and offers an external hard drive upgrade for PS4 systems (software version 4.50 or higher), with the capacity to install 50+ games**. The Game Drive will be available for $89.99 USD (MSRP) / $114.99 CAD (MSRP).
Products will be available at participating retailers, while supplies last.
And for those of you who live in the U.S., we partnered with Boulevard Brewing Co. to create special Space Camper Cosmic IPA six-packs to celebrate the launch of the game. You’ll also have a chance to win the Limited Edition PS4 Pro console by entering through their website***.

I like the engravings a lot, but I think the design would be more elegant without the logos.
I’m not sure why there’s people here that would continue to back this game. For me it’s not even about the identity politics. Don’t care about that stuff nearly as much as the blatant disrespect of the relationship that the fans had with already established characters. This argument about characters not being ours isnt productive either. Everyone is aware of that, and we aren’t claiming ownership, we’re just showing distaste at the fact that those characters we come to love are being treated poorly by someone we know not much about, especially since their arcs weren’t even really finished. It’s VERY odd to me personally that this story goes in the direction it does when it was implied that Ellie was the key to curing mankind, and I honestly would have loved to see her Joel butt heads over it if she eventually found out he was lying to her at the end of the first game, or at least I was expecting another arc where that lie might come back to bite him. What’s been revealed with those leaks tells me that visiting that kind of arc is a 0% possibility now and that’s disappointing. The idea is from the sound of the leaks, TLOU2 isn’t going to be the kind of story people were thinking it was going to, and as a result of that, many won’t buy that might’ve. That’s just how things go, you don’t get to call people pathetic for wanting something out of a story. You wanted your identity politics in a story you love? Pathetic! See how silly that sounds? Also blocking out dissenting opinions is the quickest way to lose trust in a brand, so no I will NOT just trust Naughty Dog. I’ll wait to see where the story goes before I even touch the game. You don’t get my money just cause I’m a fan of the series… and by fan I mean someone who immensely enjoyed the first game and wanted more game like it, not some blubbering consumer zombie some people seem to be advocating that I need to be to be a “true fan”.
So like I totally understand collecting stuff, but getting a PS4 now at this point is just a waste of money, with the ps5 supposledy coming this holiday season and all.
If you’re on a budget: yes. I preordered one to add to my console collection because it’s that beautiful.
