Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo

The Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo is a CS2 pistol skin featuring a black dragon decal over a metallic slide. Its detailed artwork contrasts with a largely plain, muted gray-green frame. The restrained palette suits players who want an illustrated pistol without an all-over design. Factory New and Minimal Wear exteriors are available, alongside StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions.

Description

The Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo gives the Terrorist-side pistol a metallic finish with detailed black dragon artwork in CS2. The weapon serves as a first-round option against unarmored opponents and can fire three-round bursts. Its Anodized Multicolored finish combines a metallic base with a dragon decal rather than covering every surface in artwork. Concentrating the illustration on the slide leaves the frame and grip visually understated. This balance suits players who prefer muted colors but still want a clearly defined decorative element. Factory New and Minimal Wear are the only available exteriors, narrowing the condition choices buyers need to compare. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions provide additional options beyond exterior condition. Professional players s1mple, ScreaM, and sdy have owned the skin, giving it documented competitive-player visibility. Buyers can compare the float value, version, and pictured condition to select a copy that matches their preferences.

History and Origin

Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo was released in CS:GO on August 14, 2013, with the Arms Deal update. It arrived in the CS:GO Weapon Case and belongs to The Arms Deal Collection. Steam Workshop community designer Daniel Sadowski created the finish. Its flavor text contrasts a dragon-slaying fairy tale with the real world, naming Valeria Jenner as its speaker. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, the CS:GO Weapon Case no longer drops, so new cases do not enter through that route. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, keeping the original acquisition method available. Today, direct purchases, player trades, and eligible trade-up contracts offer alternatives to opening its historical case.

Finish Style

Dragon Tattoo uses an Anodized Multicolored finish, with dragon artwork layered over a metallic base. The slide has a dark silver-gray surface that forms the background for the black decal. The creature stretches lengthwise along the slide, keeping the artwork concentrated on the pistol's upper section. Its detailed head, curling body, scales, and clawed limbs create a dense, tattoo-like illustration. The front face of the slide is bright silver, contrasting with the darker side surfaces. Vertical grooves at the rear add a separate structural detail to the slide. The frame, trigger guard, and grip use muted gray-green tones rather than repeating the dragon motif. A dark stippled grip panel adds texture while the largely plain lower body keeps attention on the artwork.

Float Value

The Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo has a float value range of 0.00 to 0.08. It comes in Factory New and Minimal Wear, with no Field-Tested, Well-Worn, or Battle-Scarred exteriors. StatTrak and Souvenir versions are available, but those version choices are separate from the exterior's cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo is a Restricted pistol skin from The Arms Deal Collection. Its chance from the CS:GO Weapon Case is 5.33%, approximately 1 in 19 drops. The case no longer drops, although existing cases remain openable and eligible trade-up contracts can also produce the skin.

Why it’s Popular:

• Detailed dragon artwork concentrated on the slide

• Muted metallic colors for understated pistol loadouts

• StatTrak and Souvenir versions for different preferences

• Documented ownership by s1mple, ScreaM, and sdy

Price Range

The live Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo price range is $74.68 to $439.08. Compare Factory New and Minimal Wear listings separately, then distinguish standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions. Check the exact float and listing images before deciding whether the asking price fits the copy's condition. When looking to buy, sell, or trade, compare matching versions and exteriors rather than assigning either overall price bound to a specific variant.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the CS:GO Weapon Case

Open the CS:GO Weapon Case for a 5.33% chance of receiving Dragon Tattoo. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be purchased on the market and opened.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A trade-up contract using 10 Mil-Spec Grade skins from The Arms Deal Collection produces 1 Restricted skin from that collection. Dragon Tattoo is a possible result, but the outcome is random among the collection's Restricted skins.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo directly through the Steam Community Market instead of relying on a random result. Check the listing's exterior and whether it is standard, StatTrak, or Souvenir before comparing its price.

5. Trade with Other Players

Trade with another player to obtain a specific Dragon Tattoo copy rather than opening a case. Confirm the exterior, float value, and version, then compare equivalent listings before agreeing on the exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

No new CS:GO Weapon Cases enter through drops, although opening existing cases can still create additional Dragon Tattoo copies. Ownership by s1mple, ScreaM, and sdy supports visibility, but does not establish current demand or resale speed. Compare exterior, float, and version carefully, since listing-volume evidence and historical price trends are insufficient to support confident short-term trading expectations.

Reasons it Holds Value

• No new CS:GO Weapon Case drops

• Distinctive dragon decal and metallic finish

• Documented ownership by professional players

• StatTrak and Souvenir choices for collectors

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by the retired case source, professional ownership, and distinct version choices. Uncertain current demand is the main resale risk, while existing case openings and trade-up contracts can still add skin supply.
