‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 Gets a New Poster!! Check It Out!!

An infamous piece of artwork is finally taking center stage in a new The Last of Us poster. The recently released image reveals Bella Ramsey’s Ellie rocking some ink that we didn’t see during the first season. More on that in a minute, but let’s first take a look at the rest of the poster. In the image, Ellie stands by her travel partner and protector — Pedro Pascal’s Joel — while, in the background, a sprawling Cordycep forms a shape on the wall. The formation in question looks like a moth (which has significance in The Last of Us universe) but could also be a nod to the Firefly logo. In her right hand, Ellie holds onto her signature switchblade, while a tagline reads, “Every path has a price,” pointing to the events that will unfold in the next batch of episodes.

Now back to that tattoo. The fern and moth tattoo comes from Ellie’s ex-girlfriend, Cat, a tattoo artist who lives in Jackson. As for why Ellie decided on that particular design, there’s plenty of symbolism pointing to rebirth through the moth. On a more practical level, the tattoo covers up Ellie’s scar from where she was bitten by one of the Infected. In the time since surviving that life-changing bite, she has been forced to wear long sleeves or a bandage to cover up the scar, but with the tattoo, she can properly show off her new ink while also walking through the world undetected.
