Tattoos are an art form combined with self-expression that brings bodies to life, and there are some seriously awesome ones out there for just about every popular character.
Sometimes, books have a way of sticking with us. They touch us in a way that changes us, and we reflect this through art.
In honor of the release of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the last story surrounding this beloved character, here are some of the coolest Potter-themed tattoos out there:
