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!

My friend has the Dark Mark. It's awesome

GeekyWombat · 01/01/2017 08:35

I'd love Always with the A made up of the deathly hallows, or maybe a deathly hallows on its own on my wrist.

If you wake up this morning and still want to do it, do it!

(Although I may be biased, we had Marauders Map wedding invites much to my family's consternation and our kids both have 'just subtle enough' Potter names that wider family think are just nice names but we chose for the joint significance).

I have a completely unique one I am yet to see anywhere else on the web 😊

Next tattoo is a Star Wars one

Sweetpea15 · 01/01/2017 09:55

Here's mine just after it was done at the start of 2016

Argh I've found him! Right that's that ordered for my classroom Grin Newt

DH had to talk me out of using Severus as a middle name for DS. Loving everyone's tattoos!

Trying to decide between "mischief managed" on,my,hip, or a PLL "shhhh" on my finger.

For people who are saying "no one will know what it is in 20 years", isn't Charmed about 20 years old? And Star Wars is older. People still remember them! ☺

PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel · 01/01/2017 11:50

And Queenie I have the lifesized Snape in our bedroom! Him and Belatrix.

Bearcats · 01/01/2017 13:56

Still want one! Trying to convince myself to just get brave and book an appointment...

Just for balance, no. And no again. Don't do it

smEGGnogg · 01/01/2017 14:06

Oh go for it. You only live once. I have a tiny deathly hallows on the outside of my wrist.

Husband and I were out having a meal in the city and a lady kept looking over at me, then she tucked her hair behind her ear and she had one too on her neck! It's like being in a club Grin

DramaInPyjamas · 01/01/2017 14:09

I've been wanting one for a few years but been waiting for the right time (never the right time!)

Mines will be Sirius Blacks prison number, on my wrist, small enough so I can cover it up with a watch or bangle if need be for work etc

Don't do it!I have 14 tattoos,but "Harry potter" seems a bit final.what if you go off harry potter soon?
I have climbing ivy,a cherub,a dragonfly,sparkly stars,my star sign symbol,tribal stuff etc.

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 01/01/2017 14:18

I'd love a HP tattoo. But I can't think of anything I want so much that I'll still want it in 30 yrs.
I have a Deathly Hallows connecta carrier and just twigged that by next baby it'll be seen as being Grindelwald's mark...
I'd love the Marauder's map footprints somewhere, maybe once I've finished having children I'll have their names in the scroll style and mischief managed with footprints around, over my belly button/lower stomach?

MischiefManagedAlways · 01/01/2017 14:53

This is mine which I had done a few years ago. I love it, it sums up the whole series for me. Grin

Agh! A thread about HP tattoos and someone has written bits about The Cursed Child. I'm trying to avoid reading anything about it till I get to see it in November!

Anyway. Yes to HP tattoos. I want one but haven't decided yet. I like the idea of "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" with footprints to represent my children. (Who are always up to no good!) or maybe "mischief managed" with footprints.

My patronus is a dragonfly and I'd love a tattoo of that.

And "Always" because I love Snape.

One day I might be brave enough to get one! Grin

When I were a lad, if you were a fan of something you went to forbidden planet and bought a t shirt.....Smile

Jaytee38 · 01/01/2017 17:41

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. The common room group on FB is great for this. Loads of ppl showing tattoos or getting advice. I'd prob go for a Dumbledore quote.

MrsFionaCharming · 01/01/2017 18:34

DramaInPyjamas Maybe you've already considered it, but getting a prison number on your wrist seems a bit wrong given the Holocaust connotations...

skippythebushkangarootoo · 01/01/2017 18:44

I have a 'life-size' Cornish Pixie on my leg! 😊

skippythebushkangarootoo · 01/01/2017 18:45

Like so....!
