I love it! Tough spot for a first tatto, too!

[–]byebyebyecycle 19 points20 points  (3 children)

I got one on the inside of the arm as well, expecting the worst, flesh-ripping feeling. Ended up being the least painful of my 6 tattoos, and by least painful I quite honestly barely felt it. It was weird.

[–]minchypixie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What design did you get if you don’t mind me asking?

[–]chronobahn 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Clearly you're a beast then. An N'sync bicycle enthusiast beast. I cry when i put on deodorant.

[–]TheOwlSaysWhat [score hidden]  (0 children)

Took me too damn long to figure that out

[–]dancinjanssenRavenclaw 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I got my first one on my foot. Figured I’d start somewhere “bad” so any subsequent tattoos elsewhere would pale in comparison. The one on the top of my thigh ended up hurting more than that one, ironically.

[–]shesthatkindagirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one at the top of my thigh hurt only because it tickled and i tensed and that made it hurt lol (: my shoulder blade was tough!

[–]ginnyinthebooks 58 points59 points  (5 children)

I’ve wanted a HP tattoo forever. Everything I come up with seems cliche though. Your tattoo is awesome. Love it!

[–]nzbourbon 11 points12 points  (1 child)

My advice: choose an item/character, and go with a style or an artist. Explore the difference that exists in tattoos! Old school is a pretty safe bet! There's also some "new old school"- with some borrowed traits from old school, but more details, shades, and inspiration. And you can always pick something really obscure :)

[–]rahrah120115 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got the P with the lightening bolt from the book covers in my wrist. I wanted something less obvious/more obscure to avoid cliches. I love it and a lot of people don’t recognize it.

[–]M1rlyn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

On my shoulder I have the 3 star cluster that’s in every page of every book. People who look quick think they’re just regular stars, but then there are people who realize that they are imperfectly shaped and 6 pointed. I love it. And it’s small.

[–]cs770 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel two ways on this. On one hand I totally understand wanting something all your own, but on the other hand it’s your body and your happiness. If it’s cliche but you like it screw it! Too obscure and you’ll end up like me and always have to explain your HP tattoo and that can get a little old haha. Not that I regret it, but there can be “downsides” to either one. Maybe think of something unique about yourself that can jazz up or put a twist on a cliche idea?

[–]mork0rk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat

[–]wellreadcatgrrrl 55 points56 points  (1 child)

That's freakin' awesome, I love it!

[–]LoveyBiscuits[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. :)

[–]Droidette 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This may be my favourite tattoo I've seen on this sub! 💙

[–]ultimatepupper909 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really cute, love it!

[–]Tritownhockey20Rudolf Okius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!

[–]deepfrieddevil 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Love! Did you get the idea from @liamashurst's instagram?

[–]LoveyBiscuits[S] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Yep! :)

[–]deepfrieddevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should send it to him! maybe he'll share it on his page :)

[–]astralellie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's so adorable! I've been wanting a hp tattoo and could never think of anything original but this has inspired me to keep trying!

[–]FlatEggs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love it. Very simple and beautiful.

[–]davect01Proud Ravenclawer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Normally not a tattoo fan, but this one I like

[–]AncientWyvernShield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great!

[–]thecharlimonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I love it! Love Hogwarts tattoos!

[–]Mr_Rawrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the best I've ever seen!

[–]SkeerRacing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great idea, love it!

[–]The_Thesaurus_Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have beautiful eyes. Well at least that one eye. But I'm sure, the other one is beautiful, too. Nice tattoo, btw.

[–]PurplishMonster 13 points14 points  (8 children)

Can’t tell if this is real or not. I also kind of think it’s upside down. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Super cute concept.

[–]LoveyBiscuits[S] 26 points27 points  (5 children)

It's definitely real. Done at Ink Therapy Tattoo in Plainfield, IN. When my arms are down at my sides, the tattoo is right side up. :)

[–]phoenixgwardCaptain Beard 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Central IN represent! Nice to meet you friend. Your tattoo rocks. I got my Potter tattoo done in Noblesville. =]

[–]LoveyBiscuits[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice!! Gotta love the HP fandom.

[–]cinemime 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Hey, I work in Plainfield! Where is this tattoo place, I had no idea Plainfield even had one!

[–]LoveyBiscuits[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's on Perry Rd. right off of 40.

[–]cinemime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's crazy, I work on the other end of Perry Rd, near that giant new hotel they are building. Awesome tattoo!

[–]opieself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an amazing tattoo. I don't think I have seen an HP one that looked like it! Just delightful.

[–]isaaceros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That part of the arm hurts like hell to get inked, by the way.

[–]Mysta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was boba fett but HP and Zelda are next :D Very cool

[–]AweBeyConHead of Gryffindor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very original, love it!

[–]lattedeliveryxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it!

[–]minchypixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely design. I love where you’ve chosen to have it. Congratulations!

[–]DemiSoer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great!! It makes me think about also getting a hp tattoo, because it is not your stereotypical hp tattoo. Love it!

[–]chewyylynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it so much 😭😭😭😭❤

[–]kodiak_attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved this so much!!

[–]MistahFrontMan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It looks like Toon World at first glance.

[–]MegamanDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like "Eh that's a weird castle."

Then I realized it was the book opening with a pop-up castle and I'm like "Whoa, that's so awesome!"

And you look so happy _^

[–]Rappiece [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don‘t want to be that guy/girl who‘s like: that’s cute! Be my gf!.... I have to say it’s well made but it doesn‘t say Hogwards from the start of, but I also see a face in there....

[–]SenorNZ 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Umm it's upside down.

[–]jessie4508Merlin's pants 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Why is this being down voted? It was my second thought, right after "Man, that's an awesome tattoo!"

[–]scampwild [score hidden]  (2 children)

Luckily, it's not your arm or your tattoo.

[–]SenorNZ [score hidden]  (1 child)

No but it's my observation, it's a strange choice of orientation.

[–]ItsMeBoik [score hidden]  (0 children)

If I did a handstand the tattoo on my leg would also be upside down.

[–]staringStatling -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shouldve gotten it right below the back of your knee

[–]throwupz -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

Sammy?

[–]Girthquake42"Alas! Ear wax!" 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao there are private messages
