To get a Harry Potter tattoo?!

I've just finished watching deathly hallows part 2 and I just love it. Grew up on HP, always been a huge fan.

I used to say when I was a teenager I'd get one but never had the balls to do it! Now I want to. DP thinks I'm mad Grin

New Years alcohol intake may be influencing this decision!

Eve I'd love to be brave enough for something like that but not a chance, ha! If I do it'll be a quote or phrase, reasonably small.

Alan Rickman never said the 'Always' quote, it was something a fan made and it was so lovely it went viral.

I want a HP tattoo but I can't think of anything that is unique and feels right.
I give not one shit about what others think of me for it, much like my other tattoos! Grin

Plus Grindlewald Wink

A quote is a great choice especially as it can have a dual meaning.

My Cursed Child one is a quote with a wing above it (I like that it'll link to my feather one)

Titsalinabumsquash · 31/12/2016 23:54

I want a life size cut out of Newt but I can't find one anywhere. 😭

Bearcats · 31/12/2016 23:55

Snape definitely said 'Always'...

Do it. It's your body. Maybe smaller and well hidden if you're not the sort to be overt.

I've also grown up on Harry Potter, I read the first book the year it came out. Love it all.

(My real initials are HP as wellGrin)

EveOnline2016 · 31/12/2016 23:55

That wouldn't be painful. I am so getting another tat done.

redexpat · 31/12/2016 23:56

Ive seen tattoos of glassses and a scar. Very discreet.

QueenieGoldstein · 31/12/2016 23:56

He never said the "when I'm 80" thing but as Snape he definitely said "Always" as does the character in the book.

QueenieGoldstein · 31/12/2016 23:57

I know about no Newt cut out but weirdly you can get a Queenie one!

Weedsnseeds1 · 31/12/2016 23:57

How about a dementor?

Bearcats · 31/12/2016 23:57

DP is to become DH next (this?!) year, trying to convince him that matching 'Always' tattoos would be perfect ;)

Queenie cut out

Bearcats · 01/01/2017 00:03

Please get one to go with your Snape cut out!

(Happy new year!)

OP posts:
QueenieGoldstein · 01/01/2017 00:04

I'm tempted! I'd prefer a Newt one truth be told but I have a real soft spot for Queenie (hence the username!)

QueenieGoldstein · 01/01/2017 00:04

Happy New Year to you too!

TrionicLettuce · 01/01/2017 00:04

Already been beaten to it I see but I was going to say go for it as well Grin

All mine are either book and/or film related: Star Wars, The Dark Tower, Watchmen and Coraline.

Bearcats · 01/01/2017 00:11

I have finally found my people Grin came here asking about a tattoo, got the go ahead, now want life size cut outs!

"How about a dementor?" 😂😂

I really want one too OP. I have a Pinterest board dedicated to it. I just can't make my mind up what I want and where I want it. I quite like "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" written in a scroll with the foot prints through it, or "mischief managed" with the footprints. Problem is the areas I'd like to be tattooed are done, a foot, an ankle and a really crappy one on my shoulder that I can't find anything to cover it up with. I'd like one on my wrist but it worries me that it could prevent a job one day.

When I got my last tattoo, I mentioned I'd quite a HP one and my tattoist said she had one (but didn't show me, she said it was different to the ones that everyone else gets). We had a right chat about HP and it turned out we were both at the studio tour, same day, same timeslot! Sadly she has moved away now so she can't do it for me.

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 01/01/2017 00:13

YANBU I've had these saved for ages, would love to get either

Incidentally what house is everyone? I'm a Ravenclaw 🦅 (Eagle as per books not raven as per films)

Grindelwaldswand · 01/01/2017 00:17

I want a really elaborate one of Albus and Scorpio ontop of the Hogwarts express being confronted by the trolley witch 😂 it looks amazing in my head but i think its more suited to a wall canvas than a tattoo

Bearcats · 01/01/2017 00:18

Gryffindor.

This is outing (as I posted it on every social media account I have! 😂) but this was confirmed by the sorting bath bomb DP got me when a small lion charm emerged when it stopped fizzing Grin

The HP related usernames are making me ridiculously happy....

When I saw the title I thought you wanted a lightning bolt scar tattoo on your forehead 😂. Came on to say that's weird.
