The Word Made Flesh
This is my V.F.D. tattoo from A Series of Unfortunate Events. It is on left ankle as it should be, on the inside side (which is debatable). If you look at the image a certain way, you can see the letters “V”, “F”, and “D”. (And no, when the hair grew back it did not obscure the image at all!)

A story has no beginning or end; arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.

After 12 years, 7 books and 8 movies I finally decided what would permanently commemorate my love of all things Potter.
“After all this time, Severus?”
“Always.”
It perfectly embodies my love of the series and how all those years reading those books shaped my adolescence. Most Potter-philes get it immediately and I love it even more for that reason :)
