Here, I’m compiling some of my favorite Harry Potter tattoos, whether for concept, design, creativity, or authenticity. By the time you look at all of these, you’ll have more tattoos than Sirius Black (in the movies)—maybe even a few OF Sirius Black… and when it comes to consistency with the text, where better to start than with the Dark Mark?
The Dark Mark Tattoos
Wizarding World fans likely already know this, but the Dark Mark was the forearm tattoo that Voldemort (YEAH. I SAID IT. …now that he’s dead) gave all the Death Eaters. Here are some of the best-executed Dark Marks, in my opinion. Let’s just hope they glow when danger is afoot, am I right?

Harry Potter Tattoo portraits
Up next we have some DOPE portraits of characters from the Harry Potter series. Seriously, some of these look like they’re moving photographs, especially when they flex!

This section holds Harry Potter sleeve tattoos, usually amalgams of multiple scenes or motifs, with little negative space. They generally take the space of an entire limb.

uNIQUE hARRY pOTTER tATTOO iDEAS
This section is absolutely my favorite. It is the catch-all of categories. The Hufflepuff of tattoo categories, if you will. It’s the most unique of them all, those that will not conform to any category.
