WoW tattoo sleeve, need ideas please!

i am a tattoo fanatic and im wrapping up a half sleeve on my left arm over the next month, and with tattoos being an addiction and all im obviously having a serious hampering for a full sleeve on my other arm. The half sleeve that is being worked on right now is vibrant and colorful so whatever i get on my right arm would need to be colorful as well.

i just couldnt for the life of me think of anything, and while looking at ideas on google i noticed there is a competitive swimmer with the same tattoos as illidan, and it gave me a brilliant idea.

i wanna start putting together a WoW themed full sleeve to bring to my artist, i want the big bads in all their glory, i want it evil and dark and colorful and vibrant as can be. so far i have...

Illidan (tbc style, obviously)
lich king
gul'dan
kil'jaeden

i am thinking possibly ragnaros, kael'thas, and deathwings head stretching down one half of the forearm.

if anyone could throw in some ideas that would improve this that would be great!

Tattoo fan here! (but with parcimony)
I'd imagine something smaller, like the horde or alliance symbol, or the mace of ragnaros, things that can really be badass even if it's not an huge tatoo!
Small contribution, but I'm sure the tattooer will have plenty of ideas!

Dude seriously, the Lordaeron "L" insignia is simply one of the greatest designs ever, especially emblazoned on the Crest of Lordaeron shield from timeless Strat.

@septem i have no limitations on quantity/size of tattoo work lol, in my line of work i dont have to worry about tattoos showing, im not holding back for this one.

and yea lordaeron crest is a great design and if i can find a way to tie that in i would definitely keep that in mind, maybe a frozen lordaeron crest tying into the lich king?

I always prefered the old King Menethil-era Lordaeron myself, but whatever floats your boat. The simple L itself would be baller.
