10 His Wand

This colorful tribute to Albus Dumbledore is one that any fan will easily recognize. The Elder Wand, which was Dumbledore’s for quite some time, played an important role in the Harry Potter series. This tattoo pays homage to Dumbledore with the illustration of his wand, held by his hand which is recognizable because of the ring he is wearing.

All fans know that Dumbledore discovered one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes to be a family ring, and it is shown in this beautiful tattoo, along with hidden symbols from the series like the Deathly Hallows and Dumbledore’s half-moon spectacles.

9 His Deluminator

Albus Dumbledore was first seen in the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, using his Deluminator the night he dropped Harry Potter at his aunt and uncle’s doorstep. The Deluminator became iconic to the series and was eventually left to Ron Weasley in Dumbledore’s will.

The Deluminator is what led Ron back to Hermione and Harry when he left them in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and it became clear the Deluminator held a lot of power. This tattoo is an excellent nod to Dumbledore!

8 Alas! Earwax!

All true fans of the Harry Potter series will love this adorable nod to the series and to Albus Dumbledore. In the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Dumbledore visits Harry Potter in the hospital wing after he is recovering from saving the stone.

During this scene, Dumbledore helps himself to some of Harry’s “get better” candies, including his box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, in which he accidentally gets an earwax flavored jelly bean. This scene is incredibly sweet, and so is this tattoo, completed by Cody Clarke!

7 His Injured Hand

The demise of Dumbledore was hard for every fan who loved this character to get over. This iconic wizard injured his hand while attempting to destroy one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, the ring that was a family heirloom to Tom Riddle.

This tattoo shows an illustration of Dumbledore’s hand, which all fans know was the beginning of the end for Dumbledore since once he found out the cursed hand would kill him, he planned his death with Severus Snape. The tattoo is so well done and shows a detail from the film that was incredibly important!

6 Fawkes The Phoenix

Fans learned about Dumbledore’s love for his pet phoenix Fawkes, in the second film of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. When Harry Potter found himself fighting a basilisk and fighting Tom Riddle’s memory in the chamber, he was injured after a basilisk fang penetrated his skin.

Dumbledore sent Fawkes to Harry, and Fawkes’ tears, which held healing powers, healed Harry’s arm, saving his life. Fawkes was important to Dumbledore, and this tattoo of the phoenix is an incredibly sweet and subtle nod to Albus!

5 Happiness Can Be Found Even In The Darkest Of Times

All fans of Albus Dumbledore know that he definitely had a way with words. Although this wizard was known for often speaking in riddles, most of the time, his speeches held messages that were incredibly wise and often inspirational.

This tattoo showcases one of his most loved sayings, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light.” This was said by Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and rang true throughout the rest of the Harry Potter series.

4 Dumbledore And Hogwarts

This incredible tattoo by Chris Showstoppr, shows Dumbledore’s face and another illustration of the Hogwarts castle. Albus Dumbledore was incredibly important to the history of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a headmaster and loved the school immensely.

It makes sense that this tribute to this character would also include an image of Hogwarts since his time at the school was so vital to the series and to Harry Potter himself. This tattoo is detailed perfectly, and any fan of this series will admire this amazing work of art!

3 His Advice

This tattoo is colorful and dainty, but the message behind it is just as sweet. Albus Dumbledore was famous for his words of advice, and this tattoo represents that in a beautiful way! The quote shown in this tattoo is from a message of advice Dumbledore gave to Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

When Harry started to doubt whether he was “good” or “bad,” after noticing similarities between himself and Tom Riddle, Dumbledore assured him with this message, “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.“

2 It Does Not Do To Dwell On Dreams And Forget To Live

In the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry discovered the Mirror of Erised, which revealed to him his heart’s greatest desire. Within the mirror, Harry saw himself standing with his mother and father, as his greatest wish was to have them alive.

Night after night, he returned to the mirror. He was eventually discovered there by Albus Dumbledore, who gave him this encouraging message, “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live,” which this tattoo by Sweet Life Gallery Tattoo illustrates beautifully!

1 The Deathly Hallows

Albus Dumbledore was incredibly invested in the search for the Deathly Hallows, and at one point, possessed two out of three of them. The third, the cloak of invisibility, was owned by Harry Potter. As Harry discovered in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore was the owner of the Elder Wand and also gifted Harry the Resurrection Stone inside his Golden Snitch.

The Deathly Hallows were important to Dumbledore, and this tattoo reflects that perfectly. The tattoo shows an illustration of Dumbledore, as well as the symbol for the Deathly Hallows. This detailed tattoo is amazing!
