Uber Nerd Tattoo Idea

[Timelady84]

So, after finally watching the new HP, my uber-nerdom has been renewed. I want a tattoo for Severus and Lily. I am thinking a silver doe patronas with "Always" in the smoke....I dunno.

Do you guys have any great ideas for a Severus/Lily tattoo?

Don't! The feeling will pass in a week!

Pretty much yeah.

[Timelady84]

Actually, I've wanted one for them since Deathly Hallows the book came out, I just never got around to it. Mainly because I didn't know what to get. I don't have an artistic bone in my body.

I'd rather get the dark mark on my wrist >.>

Sounds like a fine one to me. Alternately, have the smoke form a heart around the patronas.

I have two friends who just got the deathly hallows symbol really tiny behind their ears in honor of HP. I thought it was pretty cool actually

I don't like the idea, but I also don't like tattoos, so...

Think about how Snape and Lily tattoo will look when you're 50 years old. I personally wouldn't do it, unless you're willing to get it removed eventually.

Since everyone else is telling you not to Ill tell you to do it, but...

Make sure you are doing it because you like it and want it now. Make sure HP is important to you. Tattoos are viewed by too many people as negative and by too many people with concerns that they are flavors of the week. I take the approach that tattoos are a map of your life.

When you're 50 as was suggested above, you can look at your tattoo and remember what a big part of HP was in your life, you obviously have memories associated with it. Those memories are what you will think of when you are 50 assuming your attitude about tattoos is the right one. Tattoos should hold a special meaning to you that you want to keep with you forever.

Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do with your own body. People who are against tattoos for what they will be in the future don't understand what a tattoo is to begin with.

Edit : All of my tattoos (and planned tattoos) have very deep meaning to me. And whenever I see them I know exactly how they had influence on my life and why they are important. I will never forget certain things as a result. Memories and meanings remain fresh in my mind. Also if you have artistic skill I recommend drawing them yourself. I can't imagine any of my tattoos had I not created them myself.

Do what you like just make sure it's something you really want. Tattoos don't go away. Personally I would never get a tattoo, I thought about it, but couldn't carry through with it.

Maybe this would make more sense to you guys is I tell you I'm already covered in tons of tattoos and I work in a tattoo shop? Haha

Not likely. GT as a whole seems to be anti-tatoo. I still say go for it, maybe have an artistic friend work up a couple sketches for you. Or maybe even see about getting it done as a graphic request (no idea what the rules are here or even if they do them ).

Well than there should be no problem. You seem to be confident about your decision(s) so goodluck =D Hope it turns out alright.
