I thought all those people who went to the Harry Potter all-seven movie marathons were intense fans until I found this page of creepy and/or distasteful Harry Potter tattoos. Which consequently means that somewhere on the internet, there's at least one page of awesome Harry Potter tattoos, but I diverge. These five rabid fans all tried to permanently pay homage to their favorite sorcerer, but whether in concept or in execution, something went terribly wrong. I don't know what's worse: that these people convinced themselves that their HP tats were worth paying for and looking at for a lifetime, or that their tattoo artists accepted the jobs and the money. I smell some expensive laser removals coming on . . .
