Genevieve has had her Albus Dumbledore quotation tattoo since July 2009.

What inspired you to get your tattoo?

"I have a deep love for the books. I have lost several family members and animals. It's very comforting to know they are always with us, even if they're gone."

How did you come up with the design?

"I knew I wanted a quote, and I wanted it in a place that wasn't visible. My tattoo artist wrote it out in his handwriting."

What's the significance of your tattoo?

"My mom got the same tattoo, but on her leg. It's nice to have a matching tattoo with her and know that it means the same to us both. We find comfort in it."

I'd never read that King quote, but it's apt. I just read a good (not great, but very good) comic called American Vampire. It's all about the return of the scary vampire, which is refreshing after seeing sparkly ones who pose no danger.

ItsGlisten, I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, Twilight, or Stephen King, but this quote it dead-on: "Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend." — Stephen King

Why would anyone want a tattoo of someone's face? Especially Voldemort!

While I am a huge hp fan, I wouldn't personally get a tattoo of it on me. For the people that do have it, good for you. I do find it really mean and lopsided and confusing how an article for twilight tattoos comes out and people all say it's stupid while hp tattoos are all around awesome and cool. (I know I know, they have nothing to do with one another and no one brought twilight up, but I'm just making that connection and wondered if anyone else did, too) However, the 9 3/4 is by far the coolest tattoo on there :D love it

I've been considering getting an HP tattoo for years, but still have no idea what I would get.
