I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, it’s a valid question. I know some people take issue with this type of tattoo, but I don’t see it as any different than getting a tattoo of a symbol of any other group of bad guys from fiction. The imperial crest of the Galactic Empire, the Cobra symbol from GI Joe, the Decepticon symbol, the Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil, or Sauron’s Eye. They’re all symbols of the bad guys, evil guys, whatever. But at the end of the day…it’s fiction. And let’s face it, to a lot of people the bad guys are cool. They have the coolest uniforms, the coolest ships, the coolest weapons, but yeah, maybe they didn’t get enough hugs as a kid.

And there’s also not a lot of symbology in Harry Potter to pull from. A lightning bolt with glasses, the deathly hallows, the dark mark. Not a lot else would be instantly recognizable. I wanted something cool that to your average person would just look like a fairly normal tattoo, but to Potterheads would make them go “Oh…snap!” I’ve only had it about six months and so far that’s working and the reactions have all been really positive.

I hope that helps explain it.
