Harry Potter: the best spell tattoos of the saga

Spell tattoos

I'm here with the second part of the Harry Potter spell tattoos. Alohomora, Avada Kedabra, Expecto Patronum and Expelliermus appeared in the first part. But those four are not the only spells that can be tattooed.

So, after a few days of waiting and curiosity (or not?), I am going to finish the list of symbolic spells in the saga of the most powerful wizard in fantasy. Ready?

Unbreakable Oath

Unbreakable Oath Tattoo

The Unbreakable Oath it is a (legally magical) contract that cannot be broken. In the event of a breach, the person who breached it dies. When a magician takes the unbreakable oath, a beam of light surrounds the joined hands of the two people who swear.

This is the oath that, for example, Bellatrix Lestrange uses (in the movie, in the book it is used by Narcissa Malfoy) in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when Snape swears to Malfoy's mother that he will care for and protect her son.

Its symbolism is clear. It is the perfect tattoo for two confidants, be they friends or family, who want to portray that they can trust each other completely and to the death.

Marauder's Map

Marauder's Map Tattoo

«I solemnly swear that my intentions are not good«. You sound familiar? They are the words that have to be said for the map to show its content. The Marauder's Map is a map in which every school appears and that tells you where each person is at all times (even if it is in a secret passage).

The map was created by Remus Lupine, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and James Potter and first appears when Fred and George Weasley present it to Harry in their third year as a magic student.

I can't think of any meaning of this tattoo, but it seems like a way of showing mischief. Although, if you think about it a lot, It can symbolize a spirit of search, in which you will find all the hiding places and secrets you need.

oblivion

Obliviate Tattoo

Obliviate is a memory spell. It is very common for the Ministry of Magic to use this spell with muggles so that they do not remember some event that has to do with magic. It can also be used between wizards, although the spell can sometimes be broken and therefore the wizard that Obliviate has been used against will regain their memory.

En Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart uses it to try to erase Harry and Ron's memory. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire it is used for the first time with humans.

Two meanings emanate from this tattoo: the first, logically, symbolizes forgetting bad experiences in life. But it can also be used for those people who are convinced that, at some point, they will receive the Hogwarts letter and will have to make their acquaintances forget magical events.

riddikulus

Riddikulus Tattoo

The Riddikulus spell serves as protection against the Bogarts. These are magical beings that are capable of transforming and taking the form of something that scares the one in front of them. In order to defeat him, you have to cast this spell while thinking of something that you find funny.

This spell first appears in a Defense Against the Dark Arts class during the wizarding class's third year.

This enchantment not only symbolizes problem solving, but also tries to take life with a sense of humor to overcome all difficulties. What's more, It also protects us from those who manipulate us to try to gain our control.

Well that's it, these, along with the spells in the first part of the article, are the spell tattoos with the most meaning (in my opinion). But now it's up to you to complete the list with your favorite spell (or curse).
