I’m going to look ahead at my next tattoo. This is one that is going to take some planning and I am more than happy to have people giving suggestions and advice. But first you need to know that I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I’m not quite dressing up, running around with a broom between my legs throwing balls around – but not far from it.

So this one is all about Harry Potter. Go ahead and laugh. My love for what JK Rowling created will remain… Always.

I read the first book at the age of 11. I was pulling a sicky from school and as my parents both had work I was home alone. Being good at parenting my mum wasn’t about to let me sit at home watching day time TV. She gave me a book about a boy called Harry Potter.

By the end of the day I had finished the book and was hooked. The next day I started the second book. 19 years later and I am still in love with everything Potter related. I can’t wait until my kids are old enough for me to read them the books.

So I’ve got 2 possible ideas for my Harry Potter tattoo. I will be getting a Dementor on my forearm to cover the Chinese writing that is currently there. This is an element that needs to stay (due to its purpose of covering the big and dark tattoo I already have).

Option 1 – Have a Patronus coming down my arm towards the Dementor. With the 4 house animals (Snake, Badger, Lion and Raven) all done in a realistic style being the other main elements of the sleeve. Space fillers will include a snitch, wand, deathly hallows symbol etc.

Option 2 – a Death Eater mask, The face of Salazar Slytherin from the Chamber of Secrets, The image of Death (from The Deathly Hallows story), The Dark Mark and possibly a Werewolf. With similar space fillers.

Any ideas, suggestions and feedback are welcome.

For anybody that isn’t a Harry Potter fan, I apologise for the last 5 minutes. Here’s your chance to tell me about the inspiration for your sleeve. Is it themed? Was it intended to be a sleeve or was it a case of getting one, adding another one and then it grew into a sleeve?

Post your comments below and email your pictures to b00292028@gmail.com, the best one will be featured in the next post and will be entered into the prize giveaway (Winner will be announced 29th October).

Until next time. Tat’ll do.
