I have finally gotten around to taking a photo of another one of my tattoos. You’d think that taking photos of your own tattoos wouldn’t be as difficult as it is. I’d love to share my tattoos more often but honestly I have a headache right now from spending the last 45 minutes trying to get ONE good shot of this one. It involves a lot of twisting, bending, and checking the camera every two seconds to see if it’s in focus. Plus, since it’s on my body, I have to keep making sure my skin isn’t stretched in an odd way or it makes the whole tattoo look off. I should really do this with someone, but I HATE letting people take pictures of me. It makes me feel so awkward. ANYWAY! Today I am sharing another Harry Potter tattoo. This one is also based on chapter art. The chapter is “The Silver Doe” from The Deathly Hallows. This tattoo is my tribute to my favorite character, Severus Snape, and his love for Lily Potter. That small but very important storyline is my favorite thing about the Harry Potter series.
My tattoo is directly from the book. Nothing fancy added to it. Sometimes I think about adding a frame around it, but there really isn’t room!
Here is the original picture if you’d like to compare them. Once again, this tattoo is the work of the wonderful Anson Easton, who is booked a few weeks out and therefore cannot do my graduation tattoo right now :( But he’s worth the wait!
You know I love it! Oh graduation tattoo? Cant wait to see!
That’s so pretty!
Hello. =) I found you through our mutual love of HP and was going through your posts. Saw the tat. Had to comment. LOVE it! Snape is definitely not my favorite character, but Lily Potter IS. I’m completely obsessed with hers and James Potter’s story. So, the Silver Doe illustration always reminds me of her. It made me smile today to find another HP lover. I am currently saving for my 2nd tat, which will probably be a snitch on my ankle. Any way. Lovely work! I’d love to see more!
Thank you so much! I really need to get around to posting my other HP tattoos. Do you currently have a Harry Potter tattoo?
I don’t have a specific HP tattoo, no. I got one a few years ago of a fairy that says, “I will always believe in magic.” But, I know now that I need to go all the way and forever declare my love. =)
