The Top Five Awful Harry Potter Tattoos
By Great White Snark | July 16, 2009
After a temporary ebb, Harry Potter enthusiasm has flowed once again thanks to the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in theaters this week.
But some fans drinketh of the cup of fandom a little too deeply.
5) Voldemort Tattoo – The Un-sexy-fier
The last thing I want to see on a woman’s naked leg (where this particular ink can be found) is a portrait of an angry bald dude with a gaping nasal cavity and bad teeth.
On the list of things that put me in the mood, that’s right up there with being stripped, covered with catnip, and thrown in a barrel of angry strays.
On a Somali pirate ship being piloted too close to a rocky shore by a sloppy-drunk David Hasselhoff.
Not sexy.
4) A Too-Pretty Harry Potter Portrait Tattoo
Sorry, scratch that last thought. The last thing you want tattooed on one of your limbs is a portrait of an underage boy portrayed to look a lot like a pretty, underage girl.
Except maybe in Thailand. I hear it’s a bit easier to get away with that kind of nonsense over there.
3) The “I like Dumbledore, just not in that way” Tattoo
Oh, man. Homophobia’s a bitch when you unwittingly plaster the face of an old, gay dude across your back. From The Sun:
Proud Paul, 36, spent a YEAR having the Hogwarts headmaster etched into his skin as a surprise for his five kids.
But the factory worker has been the butt of jokes ever since Harry Potter author JK Rowling revealed last week that Dumbledore was in love with a fellow male sorcerer.
Paul, of Nottingham, moaned yesterday: “It’s been terrible. I’ve always liked Dumbledore – just not in that way.”
Classic.
2) Harry Potter Quote as a Dirty Euphemism Tattoo
Yes, I understand that this quote represents an important plot turn in the final book of the Harry Potter series. And I’m sure the bearer of this ink had innocent intentions.
But if a lower-back tattoo that says, “I open at the close,” isn’t an invitation for having intercourse in the netherest of regions… then I don’t know what is.
1) Harry Potter Neck Tattoo
And she lived happily ever after, secure in the knowledge that no one would take her seriously, ever, ever again. Ever.

#3 should be more embarrassed by the absolutely horrible tribal tattoos on his shoulder. at least the dumbledore looks like decent work.

Wow! Posts 3 days in a row. :) have you come back from the twit-side?
Ok, those are some bad tattoos. Faces never a good idea. Just asking for regret a few years down the road.
The “I open at the close” would be fine as an armband or anklet.
Placement people! Three most important things in tattoo real estate: Location, location, location.

#4 is Amy Poehler as Harry Potter. Gotta be.

@Alexandra: I promise more posts (now that I’ve emerged from a product launch at the Job of Realness) if you promise to keep the delightful comments coming.
@Movie Meg: I’m seeing Rachel Weisz.

Every time I think, “Gee I reaaaaaally need to get myself that Serenity tattoo”, I see a post like this; and am once again left to ponder the sanity of it.

#4 is Amy Poehler as Harry Potter. Gotta be.

I know where a “Mischief Managed” tattoo would fit perfectly…

why is your page so mean….maybe people like the tattoos they have and more people than you like them as well….I think you need anger management or you need a girlfriend that YOU won’t piss off~ just saying

first off the catnip would prolly make them happy cuddly strays. possibly even adorable ones.
second no matter where you say “i open at the close” if it’s on your body it’s going to be inappropriate.

i just don’t get being so into a fictional character that you would get a tattoo of them. dumbledore? voldemort? are you gonna get a job with a huge color tattoo of someone that everyone else realizes DOESN’T exist?

Am I the only one that thinks that Harry looks more like Hillary Clinton in tat #4?
September 1st, 2009 at 9:26 am
the last one looks like a friend drew with gel pens pens etc on her neck. i have to conclude that it is not a tattoo.

I’m a tattoo artist, and let me tell you.. people get WAY more idioctic things tattooed on them.
I’d rather see Voldemort’s portrait on someone’s leg, than their Ex’s.
Also, I’m getting a Harry Potter sleeve from my knee to my ankle/foot and i can think of a LOT of guys, Harry Potter fans or not, that’ll still want to bone me…

SO i suppose that a meaningless butterfly tattoo is better than something that actually has some form of meaning to some people. Only morons with dirty perverted minds would think I open at the close is something sexual. Yes she could of put it in a better place but only hp fans know the true meaning of it and that is something others wont understand. I think these tattoos are great and these fans are devoted to hp. At least they are passionate about something unlike some other people.
