The Harry Potter series introduced fans to the idea of Hogwarts houses, which fans found incredibly interesting. The four Hogwarts houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin were all created after the four founders of Hogwarts.

Each house represents different strengths and weaknesses a witch or wizard possesses, who are then sorted by the Sorting Hat into their correct houses. Fans have paid tribute to the different founders of these houses in many ways, some even with tattoos! Keep reading to see the 10 Godric Gryffindor tattoos that any fan of this house will love!

The Sorting Hat played an incredibly important role in the exposure of a true Gryffindor —  a test which was likely somehow put in place by Godric Gryffindor himself.

This tattoo illustrates the Sorting Hat and Godric Gryffindor’s sword, which was produced by the hat when a true member of Gryffindor was in need. This tattoo is the perfect tribute to Godric and to the unusual ways his legacy presented itself to students of Hogwarts that were in need.

The tattoo shown here is a subtle tribute to Godric Gryffindor and it is adorable and one that any fan will appreciate. This tattoo is illustrated with the quote, “Brave at heart,” which is a quote from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and part of the motto of Gryffindor house.

Each Hogwarts house was known for its specific qualities and bravery was at the heart of what Gryffindor’s must possess. This tattoo is a wonderful homage to Gryffindor!

As every devoted fan of this magical series knows, the qualities that were at the forefront of every Hogwarts house were qualities that the founders of these houses themselves possessed. Godric Gryffindor made it clear that Gryffindor would be home to students who were brave, courageous, and chivalrous, like himself.

This tattoo proves this to be true with a perfect illustration of the Gryffindor crest, along with the words “courage and chivalry” detailed below.

This gorgeous and minimalistic tattoo symbolizes the founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the houses they created. The tattoo represents the different Hogwarts houses with an illustration of each house’s emblematic animal.

Godric Gryffindor chose the lion as Gryffindor’s emblematic animal because of this creature’s bravery and courage, which were the exact qualities Godric Gryffindor wanted the students in his house to possess.

The Sword of Gryffindor played an incredibly important role over the course of the Harry Potter series. Fans were first introduced to it in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In the book and film, it presented itself to Harry in the Chamber of Secrets when he needed it to help save himself and Ginny Weasley.

The sword ended up making its way back into Harry’s life when it was discovered to destroy Horcruxes. This was an object that helped worthy Gryffindor’s long after Godric’s passing and it is beautifully illustrated in this work of art!

The tattoo shown here is definitely a more subtle tribute to Godric Gryffindor. It shows the famous Sword of Godric Gryffindor, however, the name Godric Gryffindor is not shown on the sword, so the tattoo simply looks like it could be any kind of sword unspecific to the Harry Potter series.

The two founders of Hogwarts who had the most disagreements were definitely Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, who had incredibly different values and ideas for the future of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This tattoo represents the rivalry that existed between these two characters, and the way it continued in these two houses for the entirety of Hogwarts’ history. The tattoo is an illustration of the Sword of Godric Gryffindor, as well as Slytherin’s emblematic animal, the snake!
